Wouldn't you just have like p = y and n = y + 15 because she already walked?

N= x+15 where n = nina, x = the amount hiked together and the 15 is how much she already walked.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1 centimeter longer than one side and 4 centimeters longer than three times the other side

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent:

The opposite with a
The adjacent with b
The hypotenuse with c

Given that:

$c = 1 + a$

$c = 4 + 3b$

Required

Solve for a, b and c

$c = c$

So, we have:

$1 + a = 4 + 3b$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$a = 4 -1 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Substitute 3 + 3b for a and 4 + 3b for c

$(4 + 3b)^2 = (3 + 3b)^2 + b^2$

Open brackets

$16 + 12b+12b+9b^2 = 9 + 9b+9b+9b^2 +b^2$

$16 + 24b+9b^2 = 9 + 18b+10b^2$

Collect Like Terms

$10b^2 - 9b^2 + 18b - 24b + 9 - 16 = 0$

$b^2 - 6b -7 = 0$

Expand

$b^2 +b-7b-7=0$

Factorize:

$b(b+1)-7(b+1) =0$

$(b-7)(b+1) = 0$

Split:

$b - 7 = 0\ or\ b+1=0$

$b = 7\ or\ b=-1$

But the adjacent of a triangle can't have a negative measurement.

So:

$b = 7$

Recall that:

$c = 4 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Substitute 7 for b in the above expressions

$c = 4 + 3 * 7$

$c = 4 + 21$

$c = 25$

$a = 3 + 3 * 7$

$a = 3 + 21$

$a = 24$

Hence, the dimensions of the triangle are:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 2x^2-8x-24=0

Vinvika [58]

2x^2 - 8x - 24

First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.

2(x^2 - 4x - 12)

Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.

We're gonna try using the AC method first.

List factors of -12.

1 * -12

-1 * 12

2 * -6

-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)

Split the middle term.

2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)

Factor by grouping.

2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)

Rearrange terms.

<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>

Which of the following values "completes the square," or creates a perfect square trinomial, for x2 + 6x + ___?

jekas [21]

To create a perfect square trinomial, halve the x coefficient, square it, and then add that value.

In the case of x² + 6x, we would have 6 to get 3, then square 3 to get 9.
We would add 9 to make a perfect square trinomial.
<u>
</u><u>Why this works</u>
A perfect square trinomial is designed to factor to some value (x+n)².
When you FOIL this you get x² + 2nx + n².
As you can see, if you wanted to find the value of that n², you could take that x coefficient 2n, halve it to get n, and then square it to get n²!
