Answer:

The value of x for the equation $x^{2}+20 x+100=36$ is x=-16 or x=-4

<u>Step by Step Explanation:</u>

Given equation $x^{2}+20 x+100=36$

To find:

Value of x for the above equation

Solution:

We know that the given equation is $x^{2}+20 x+100=36$

From the options we shall evaluate the value of x by substituting in the above equation.

Option A: x=-16 or x=-4

Substitute these value of x in the given equation $x^{2}+20 x+100=36$ we get

$(-16)^{2}+20(-16)+100=36$

256-320+100=36

-64+100=36

36=36

Thus option A gives the correct value of x to the above equation.

Result:

Value of x=-16 or x=-4 is the correct answer for the above given equation.

How to figure out pythagoras theorem?

Paladinen [302]

Any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

<h3>What is the Pythagoras Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In △ABD and △ACB,

∠A = ∠A (common)

∠ADB = ∠ABC (both are right angles)

Thus, △ABD ∼ △ACB (by AA similarity criterion)

Similarly, we can prove △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Thus △ABD ∼ △ACB,

Therefore, AD/AB = AB/AC.

We can say that AD × AC = AB².

Similarly, △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Therefore,

CD/BC = BC/AC.

We can also say that

CD × AC = BC².

Adding these 2 equations, we get

AB² + BC² = (AD × AC) + (CD × AC)

AB² + BC² =AC(AD +DC)

AB² + BC² = AC²

Hence proved

Thus, any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

Draw a number line -5 through 5 and mark 2x<6

inna [77]

Answer:

$x < 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before number line can be drawn, there is need to find the value of x in the inequality given. Thus,

$2x < 6$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} < \frac{6}{2}$

$x < 3$

The number line is indicated in the attached picture.

Geometric Series assistance

Levart [38]

we have been asked to find the sum of the series

$\sum _{n=1}^5\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}$

As we know that a geometric series has a constant ratio "r" and it is defined as

$r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\left(n+1\right)-1}}{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}}=\frac{1}{3}$

The first term of the series is $a_1=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1-1}=1$

Geometric series sum formula is

$S_n=a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

Plugin the values we get

$S_5=1\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^5}{1-\frac{1}{3}}$

On simplification we get

$S_5=\frac{121}{81}$

Hence the sum of the given series is $\frac{121}{81}$
