Prove that the quadrilateral whose vertices are I(-2,3), J(2,6), K(7,6), and L(3, 3) is a rhombus.

I think in these problems the first step is to express each side as a vector.  A vector is the difference between points.  When two sides have the same vector (or negatives) it means they're parallel and congruent.  So in a rhombus IJKL the vectors IJ and LK should be the same, as should JK and IL.  That much assures a parallelogram; we check IJ and JK are congruent to complete the crowing of the rhombus.

Let's calculate these vectors:

IJ = J - I = (2,6) - (-2,3) = (2 - -2, 6 - 3) = (4, 3)

LK = K - L = (7, 6) - (3, 3) = (4, 3)

IJ = LK, so far so good

(Note: If you haven't got to vectors yet you can just show the two sides are the same length, 5, and have the same slope, 3/4, both of which can be read off the vectors.)

JK = K - J = (7,6) - (2,6) = (5,0)

IL = L - I = (3, 3) - (-2, 3)  = (5, 0)

Those are the same too.    

Now we have to show IJ ≅ JK

The length of IJ is the cliche √4²+3² = 5, the same as JK, so IJ ≅ JK

We showed all four sides are congruent and we have two pair of parallel sides, so we have a rhombus.

Solve by factoring:<br><br> 5x^2 + 19x + 12 = 0
Mariulka [41]

When solving polynomial equations, first set the equation

equal to zero, then check for a Greatest Common Factor.

Since there is no greatest common factor, this will make life a

little bit more difficult because we will have to factor the trinomial.

First, find all possible factors for constant term.

I have listed these in red below.

Make sure to reverse the factors since in each binomial,

the first term is different so we need to reverse the factors.

The factors of 5x² will just be 5x and z.

After finding factors for the constant and the leading

coefficient for your trinomial, we can eliminate some factors.

If you have an odd coefficient on the middle term,

you can eliminate any pairs of even factors.

So the group I crossed out in purple below will be eliminated.

Another strategy is to use factors a little closer together.

So I would go with the 4 and 3 group.

Surely enough, our trinomial does factor with the 4 and 3.

Now set the factored trinomial equal to 0.

Then use zero product property and you have your answer.
