Answer:
F. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.
BD/DE = AD/BD
h/4 = 16/h
h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h
h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:
BC = √(AC·DC)
BA = √(AC·AD)
Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
It is 2 4/5, 2 4/5 is 2.8, 4/5 is greater than 3/4
Answer: -13, -15
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the smallest integer, then:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = x - 27
3x + 3 = x - 27
2x = -30
x = -15
Integers: -15, -14, -13
