Answer:
Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude of a triangle always extends from a vertex to the opposite base (side) of the triangle, and it is always at a right angle. It is also known as the "height".
Answer:
y-intercept: (0, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This parabola has an equation of -x² + 4x + 5.
It's y-intercept is (0, 5).
It's x-intercepts or roots are (-1, 0) and (5, 0).
It's vertex is (2, 9).
___________________________________
Keep in mind that the y-intercept is when x = 0.
Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c
By Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²
a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64
a² - 2a - 15 = 0
a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0
a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0
(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0
a = -3 or a = 5
Because a is a side length and is a positive number
a = 5
Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon
Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:
= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
= 5 × $3
= $15
So to find the answer you want to isolate the y. So the first thing you want to do is to move everything to the opposite side of the = sign. You start by adding 10 to both sides.
10+ 5y -10 = -25 +10
5y = -15.
the tens cancel out on the left side and on the right you get left with -15/
Since y is being multiplied by 5 you always want to do the opposite so you divide by 5.
5y/5 = -15/5
y = -3
It's hard to explain but you just have to remember that what you do to one side you must do to the other to keep the equation balanced.
