What is the difference between a linear equation and a quadratic equation?(in 7 sentences)

1 answer:

7 0

A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and C are constants. It's possible to simplify this to y = mx + b, where m = ( −A / B) and b is the value of y when x = 0. A quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c. Apart from the adding complexity of solving a quadratic equation compared to a linear one, the two equations produce different types of graphs.

Given the following triangle solve for the unknown angle.

svetlana [45]

Since it is shown that 2 of the sides of the triangle are congruent, we can assume that they have the same angle measures.

so to solve for the missing angle you can set up an equation equal to 180 since all triangles add up to 180 degrees.
21 + 21 + x = 180
42 + x = 180
x = 138

the value of the missing angle should be 138 degrees
