Solve x2 – 12x + 59 = 0 for x.

59 is a tough bird to deal with; its only factors are 1 and 59.

Thus, forget about factoring.  Instead, use the quadratic formula, or solve the equation by completing the square.

Please note:  x2 is ambiguous.  Please write x^2 to indicate "the square of 2."

Here you have 1x^2 - 12x + 59 = 0, for which a=1, b=-12 and c=59.

Use the quadratic formula:  x=[-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / (2a)

to find the two roots.  Notice that the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac will be negative, meaning that your two roots will be "complex."

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

h = \sqrt{72}in

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right triangle with long side of 11in and smaller sides 14in/2=7in and h.

We know that

h^2 + (7in)^2 = (11in)^2\\h^2 = 121in^2 - 49in^2 = 72in^2\\h = \sqrt{72}in

Marcus has hired 3 people to help him with his lawn business. He pays all the same, and he pays them every day. He paid $360 to
deff fn [24]

Hi!

If they each got the same, then they each got 1/3 of the total $360. Therefore, we can divide 360 by 3. We can do this by dividing 36 by 3, 36/3, and that's 12. Then add the 0! 120.

Your sentence could be: "The amount of money each worker got can be represented by 360/3, which is $120."

Hope this helps! :D
