Answer:
x ≈ - 5.32, x ≈ 1.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± 
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ±
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
84 (nearest whole number)
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 10,
Longest leg = (7 x 10) + 4 = 74
Shortest leg = 4 x 10 = 40
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle):
⇒ 74² + 40² = c²
⇒ 7076 = c²
⇒ c = √7076 = 84.11896...
⇒ hypotenuse = 84 (nearest whole number)
To figure out this question, I first divided 24 into 3, which gives me an answer of 8. then I divided 52 into 7 , which also is 8 . because the two numbers are the same, I know the ratios are equivalent.
Answer:
the correct answer is -5 since y=7
