Three students used factoring to solve a quadratic equation.

Mathematics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The solution was solved correctly by Keith

The solutions of the equation are x=-5,x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2}+17x+72=12

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2}+17x=12-72

x^{2}+17x=-60

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

x^{2}+17x+8.5^{2} =-60+8.5^{2}

x^{2}+17x+72.25 =12.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+8.5)^{2}=12.25

square root both sides

(x+8.5)=(+/-)3.5

x=-8.5(+/-)3.5

x=-8.5(+)3.5=-5

x=-8.5(-)3.5=-12

The solution was solved correctly by Keith

The solutions of the equation are x=-5,x=-12

Answer:

  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem as written cannot have any of the solutions offered.

For any of those choices, the right side expression will be irrational. The left side expression will be rational for any rational value of x, so cannot be equal to the right-side expression.

The solution is an irrational number near ...

You are asked to draw a triangle using three of the following angles: 0°, 30°, 45°, 55°, 60°, 80°, 90°, 105°. Which triangle can
mart [117]
The answer is D. All you have to do is add all of the angles for each choice you're given. It has to add up to exactly 180, because every triangle is 180 degrees.

Geometry Proof - Thanks in advance for the help!
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Using reflexive property (for side), and the transversals of the parallel lines, we can prove the two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Since AB and DC are parallel and AC is intersecting in the middle, you can make out two pairs of alternate interior angles<em>.</em> These angle pairs are congruent because of the alternate interior angles theorem. The two pairs of congruent angles are: ∠DAC ≅ ∠BCA, and ∠BAC ≅ ∠DCA.
  • With the reflexive property, we know side AC ≅ AC.
  • Using Angle-Side-Angle theorem, we can prove ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA.

The speed of a bus from University A to University B was decreased by 20% to 48 miles per hour. What was the speed of the bus be
Lunna [17]

Answer:

initial speed: 240 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

48 m/h is the current speed which is the 20% of X

x (20 / 100) = 48

20x = 4800

x = 4800/20

x = 240 m/h
