Answer:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5
Divide both sides by 8:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8
Add 23/8 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4
Add 9/16 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
Answer: x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Answer: The distance is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between L and Y find the difference in the x and y coordinates then square them and add them to find their square root.
-7-5= -12
0-9 = -9
12^2 + 9^2 = d^2 where d is the distance
144 + 81 = d^2
225 = d^2
d= 
d= 15
Answer:
3rd option x=3, y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need to explain base ten and base 8
Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m
x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24
Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30
Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900
