Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo
The lengths of the given triangle form a Pythagoras triple. This means that the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides.
Area = 1/2 × base × height
Height = 3 cm
Base = 4 cm
Area = 1/2 × 3 × 4 = 6 cm²
B) The altitudes can be AB or BC. Therefore, the length of the shortest altitude is AB = 3 cm
The diagonal is the same as the hypotenuse which is also the longest side of the triangle. Thus,
Length of diagonal = 5 cm
Answer:
30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In this context, "per" means "divided by", so to find miles per gallon, divide miles by gallons:
(56 1/4 mi)/(1 7/8 gal) = 30 mi/gal
The vehicle can travel 30 miles per gallon of gas.
_____
My calculator divides mixed numbers directly, as many graphing calculators do. If you're working this out by hand, you can convert to improper fractions, then multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.
(56 1/4)/(1 7/8) = (225/4)/(15/8)
= (225/4)·(8/15) = (225/15)·(8/4)
= 15·2 = 30
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
