Answer:
- x=8, x=2
- no solution
- no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
For the equation ...
y = a(x -h)² +k
you can find the x-intercepts by setting y=0 and solving for x.
0 = a(x -h)² +k
-k = a(x -h)² . . . . . . subtract k
-k/a = (x -h)² . . . . . divide by a
±√(-k/a) = x -h . . . . take the square root
h ± √(-k/a) = x . . . . add h . . . . this is the general solution

So, for each of your problems, fill in the corresponding numbers and do the arithmetic. If (-k/a) is a negative number, the square root gives imaginary values, so there is "no solution".
1. x = 5 ± √9 = {5 -3, 5 +3} = {2, 8} . . . . the x-intercepts are 2 and 8
2. x = -3 ± √(-2) . . . . . . no solution; the roots are complex
3. x = 5 ± √(-8/4) . . . . . no solution; the roots are complex
Answer:
w = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the altitude theorem of a right triangle, we have:
w + 4 = √(24*6)
w + 4 = √144
w + 4 = 12
w + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
w = 8
Answer:
(D)8 m, 5 m, 6 m, 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
B>a
b=8a-1
and we are told that 98=a+b so a=98-b, using this value for a in the equation above gives you:
b=8(98-b)-1
b=784-8b-1
b=783-8b
9b=783
b=87, and since a+b=98, a=11
so a and b are 11 and 87
