x² - x - 12 = 0

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

a = 1, b = -1, c = -12

$x = \dfrac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}$

x = 4 or -3

Answer: 4 or -3

What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (−2, 1) , (−2, 7) , (1, 11) , (4, 7) , and (4, 1) ?

Sholpan [36]

Each edge is given by the distance formula, which is the Pythagorean Theorem. When one of the coordinates is the same, we can shortcut that.

A(−2, 1) , B(−2, 7), C(1, 11), D(4, 7), E(4, 1)

$AB=7-1=6$

$BC=\sqrt{(1 - -2)^2 + (11-7)^2}=5$

$CD=\sqrt{(4 - 1 )^2 + (11-7)^2}=5$

$DE=7-1=6$

$EA= 4 - -2 = 6$

$\textrm{perimeter} = 6+5+5+6+6=28$

Answer: 28

Classify the number as rational or irrational: 4.126532

Oksana_A [137]

That's the ratio of 4,126,532 to 1,000,000 so it's rational.

Here's a little factoid that I never see mentioned anywhere, but I think it can be really helpful to know:

==> Any number that you can WRITE DOWN COMPLETELY using digits (plus a decimal point or a fraction bar if you need them) is a rational number.

If " 4.126532 " is the whole thing, you sure nuff wrote it down, so it's rational.
