$\sf Solve \ for \ b. \\ \\ h = \frac{-b}{2} a \\ \\ Flip \ equation \\ \\ \frac{-1}{2} ab = h \\ \\ Divide\ both \ sides\ by \frac{(-a)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2}ab/ \frac{-a}{2} = h / -a / 2 \\ \\ b = \frac{-2h}{a}$

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}\\\\\frac{b}{2a}=-h\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2a\neq0\\\\\huge\boxed{b=-2ah}$

16x^2 - 49 when factored is ?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(4x-7)(4x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called the Difference of Two Squares (DOTS).

These are the conditions that must be met for DOTS to work:

•There must be 2 terms.

•They must be separated by a negative sign.

•Each term must be a perfect square.

First, you have to find 2 square numbers that times together to make 16.

4×4=16

As we want 16x², you just need to make the 4 become 4x:

4x times 4x equals 16x²

Then, find 2 squares that times together to make 49.

7×7=49

You can put the two squares into a bracket with the x variable first, then the number:

(4x-7)(4x+7)

In the brackets, you always put the negative sign in the first one and then the plus sign in the second one.

You can double check your answer by expanding it back out again using FOIL:

F-First

O-Outer

I-Inner

L-Last

Times the First two in the two brackets:

4x times 4x equals 16x²

Times the Outer two:

4x times 7 equals 28x

Times the Inner two:

-7 times 4x equals -28x

Times the Last two:

-7 times 7 equals -49

Form an equation:

16x²+28x-28x-49

The 28x cancel out to leave:

16x²-49

Hope this helps :)

Alison is playing a video game. At the end of each level, the player is given either a bag of gold or a magic wand.

Shkiper50 [21]

Outcome Bag of Gold Magic Wand

Relative frequency 0.32 0.68

The relative frequency of getting a bag of gold is .......... reasonably close

.32 is close to 30% so

Alison's claim about the theoretical probability is likely to be 2............true

Further, this means that the theoretical probability of getting a magic wand is most likely 3............1 - 30% = 70%

50 POINTS!!! In rectangle ABCD, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, and DE = DF. The area of triangle DEF is one-fourth the area of rectangle

aalyn [17]

Answer:

$EF=4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In rectangle ABCD, AB = 6, BC = 8, and DE = DF.

ΔDEF is one-fourth the area of rectangle ABCD.

We want to determine the length of EF.

First, we can find the area of the rectangle. Since the length AB and width BC measures 6 by 8, the area of the rectangle is:

$A_{\text{rect}}=8(6)=48\text{ cm}^2$

The area of the triangle is 1/4 of this. Therefore:

$\displaystyle A_{\text{tri}}=\frac{1}{4}(48)=12\text{ cm}^2$

The area of a triangle is half of its base times its height. The base and height of the triangle is DE and DF. Therefore:

$\displaystyle 12=\frac{1}{2}(DE)(DF)$

Since DE = DF:

$24=DF^2$

Thus:

$DF=\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4\cdot 6}=2\sqrt{6}=DE$

Since ABCD is a rectangle, ∠D is a right angle. Then by the Pythagorean Theorem:

$(DE)^2+(DF)^2=(EF)^2$

Therefore:

$(2\sqrt6)^2+(2\sqrt6)^2=EF^2$

Square:

$24+24=EF^2$

Add:

$EF^2=48$

And finally, we can take the square root of both sides:

$EF=\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16\cdot 3}=4\sqrt{3}$
