X^2 = 4x + 12
x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0, use the quadratic equation
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 6 or x + 2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 6 (or x = -2 only positive solution)

Answer:

y = 9√3

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

taking 30 as reference angle

b = y

p = 9

h = x

so

tan30 = p/b

1/√3 = 9/b

or, b = 9√3

so

$h^2 = p^2 + b^2\\x^2 = 9^2 + y^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + (9\sqrt{3} )^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + 243\\or, x ^2 = 324\\or, x =\sqrt{324} \\\\so x = 18$

Answer:

The line is $y = -4 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The line is $y = \frac{1}{4} x + 8$

The point is P(0,0 )

Generally the equation for a line is $yn = mx + c$

Now comparing this with the given equation we see that

$m =\frac{1}{4} = slope$

$C =8 = intercept$

Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 = - \frac{1}{m}$

=> $m_1 = - \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{4}}$

=> $m_1 = -4$

Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that

y = mx + c at p(0,0) and $m_1 = -4$ is

0 = -4 (0 ) + c

=> c = 0

Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

$y = -4 x$
