Answer:

   x² - 8x + 20

=  x²- 2*4*x + 16 + 4

=  x²- 2*4*x + 4² + 4

= (x - 4)² + 4

= (x - a)² + a, with a = 4

Hope this helps!

Given segment AC and point B that lies on AC, if AB = 9 and BC= 49, find AC
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw this out (see attachment).

We know that since B lies on AC, we have the points in order from left to right: A, B, C.

AB = 9, which is the left portion. BC = 49, which is the right portion. Then AC is simply the sum:

AC = AB + BC = 9 + 49 = 58

The answer is thus 58.

Hey guys! Does anybody know the answer to tan2x-2cosx=0
Basile [38]

If the equation is tan(2<em>x</em>) - 2 cos(<em>x</em>) = 0:

We have

tan(2<em>x</em>) = sin(2<em>x</em>) / cos(2<em>x</em>)

sin(2<em>x</em>) = 2 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>)

So, rewriting the equation gives

tan(2<em>x</em>) - 2 cos(<em>x</em>) = 0

2 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>) / cos(2<em>x</em>) - 2 cos(<em>x</em>) cos(2<em>x</em>) / cos(2<em>x</em>)= 0

2 cos(<em>x</em>) • (sin(<em>x</em>) - cos(2<em>x</em>)) / cos(2<em>x</em>) = 0

The left side is 0 whenever the numerator is 0:

2 cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   sin(<em>x</em>) - cos(2<em>x</em>) = 0

cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   sin(<em>x</em>) - (1 - 2 sin²(<em>x</em>)) = 0

cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   2 sin²(<em>x</em>) + sin(<em>x</em>) - 1 = 0

cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   (2 sin(<em>x</em>) - 1) (sin(<em>x</em>) + 1) = 0

cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   2 sin(<em>x</em>) - 1 = 0   or   sin(<em>x</em>) + 1 = 0

cos(<em>x</em>) = 0   or   sin(<em>x</em>) = 1/2   or   sin(<em>x</em>) = -1

Solving each case gives 3 families of solutions:

[<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2 + 2<em>nπ</em>   or   <em>x</em> = -<em>π</em>/2 + 2<em>nπ</em>]   or

[<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/6 + 2<em>nπ</em>   or   <em>x</em> = 5<em>π</em>/6 + 2<em>nπ</em>]   or

[<em>x</em> = -<em>π</em>/2 + 2<em>nπ</em>]

where <em>n</em> is any integer. The last family is already accounted for in the first, so

<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2 + 2<em>nπ</em>   or   <em>x</em> = -<em>π</em>/2 + 2<em>nπ</em>   or   <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/6 + 2<em>nπ</em>   or   <em>x</em> = 5<em>π</em>/6 + 2<em>nπ</em>

Help please<br>solve for X​
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

those angles are congruent because they are vertical angles

6x+4 = 58 ; subtract 4 from both sides

6x = 58-4 ; combine like terms

6x = 54; divide both sides by 6

x= 9

9t-(3t+3)=1 step by step
Mkey [24]
Expand 9t - (3t + 3): 6t - 3
6t - 3 = 1
Add 3 to both sides
6t - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3
Simplify 6t = 4
Divide both sides by 6
6t/6 = 4/6
Simplify t = 2/3
