Answer:

The number of non-congruent triangles that can be formed by connecting 3 of the vertices of the cube is 3 non-congruent triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the three dimensional shape of a cube, triangles can be constructed from;

1) 6 side faces

2) 4 front face to opposite vertices triangles

3) 4 rear face to opposite vertices triangles

Each face can produce ₄C₃ = 4 triangles

Therefore;

The total number of triangles that can be formed = 4 × 6 + 4 × 4 + 4  × 4 = 56 triangles

Of the 56 triangles, it will be found that all 24 triangles from the different 6 direct faces will have the same dimension of 1, 1, √2 are congruent

The 24 triangles formed by the sides of the faces and an adjacent diagonal have the same dimension of 1, √2, √3 and are congruent

The 8 triangles formed by joining the three diagonals have the same dimension of √2, √2, √2 are congruent

Therefore, the 56 triangles comprises of a combination of three non-congruent triangle.

There are only 3 observed non congruent triangles formed by connecting three of the vertices of the cube.

ANSWER: 1.211 or 13.211

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

1

:

1.1     Evaluate :  (x-6)2   =    x2-12x+36  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.2     Factoring  x2-12x-16  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -12x  its coefficient is  -12 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -16  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -16 = -16  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -16  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -12 .

     -16    +    1    =    -15  

     -8    +    2    =    -6  

     -4    +    4    =    0  

     -2    +    8    =    6  

     -1    +    16    =    15  

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Parabola, Finding the Vertex

2.1      Find the Vertex of   y = x2-12x-16

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).  

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.  

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.  

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is   6.0000  

Plugging into the parabola formula   6.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :  

 y = 1.0 * 6.00 * 6.00 - 12.0 * 6.00 - 16.0

or   y = -52.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = x2-12x-16

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={ 6.00}  

Vertex at  {x,y} = { 6.00,-52.00}  

x -Intercepts (Roots) :

Root 1 at  {x,y} = {-1.21, 0.00}  

Root 2 at  {x,y} = {13.21, 0.00}  

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

2.2     Solving   x2-12x-16 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Add  16  to both side of the equation :

  x2-12x = 16

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  12 , divide by two, giving  6 , and finally square it giving  36  

Add  36  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  16  +  36    or,  (16/1)+(36/1)  

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  1   Adding  (16/1)+(36/1)  gives  52/1  

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2-12x+36 = 52

Adding  36  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2-12x+36  =

  (x-6) • (x-6)  =

 (x-6)2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2-12x+36 = 52 and

  x2-12x+36 = (x-6)2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x-6)2 = 52

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #2.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x-6)2   is

  (x-6)2/2 =

 (x-6)1 =

  x-6

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #2.2.1  we get:

  x-6 = √ 52

Add  6  to both sides to obtain:

  x = 6 + √ 52

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

  x2 - 12x - 16 = 0

  has two solutions:

 x = 6 + √ 52

  or

 x = 6 - √ 52

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

2.3     Solving    x2-12x-16 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .

According to the Quadratic Formula,  x  , the solution for   Ax2+Bx+C  = 0  , where  A, B  and  C  are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :

                                     

           - B  ±  √ B2-4AC

 x =   ————————

                     2A

 In our case,  A   =     1

                     B   =   -12

                     C   =  -16

Accordingly,  B2  -  4AC   =

                    144 - (-64) =

                    208

Applying the quadratic formula :

              12 ± √ 208

  x  =    ——————

                     2

Can  √ 208 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  208   is

  2•2•2•2•13  

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  2  instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 208   =  √ 2•2•2•2•13   =2•2•√ 13   =

               ±  4 • √ 13

 √ 13   , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is   3.6056

So now we are looking at:

          x  =  ( 12 ± 4 •  3.606 ) / 2

Two real solutions:

x =(12+√208)/2=6+2√ 13 = 13.211

or:

x =(12-√208)/2=6-2√ 13 = -1.211
