If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180

Consider 8x2 - 48x = -104.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

3+ 2\mathbf{i}

3- 2\mathbf{i}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Equation Solving</u>

We have the equation:

8x^2-48x=-104

Divide by 8:

x^2-6x=-13

Now complete the squares so the left side is a perfect square of a binomial:

x^2-6x+9=-13+9=-4

Factoring the perfect square:

(x-3)^2=-4

Taking the square root:

x-3=\sqrt{-4}

The square root of a negative number is an imaginary number:

x-3=\pm 2\mathbf{i}

Solving for x:

x=3\pm 2\mathbf{i}

The solutions are:

3+ 2\mathbf{i}

3- 2\mathbf{i}
