Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 5)(x-4)
= x(x) - 4(x) - 5(x) - 4(-5)
= x^2 - 4x - 5x + 20
= x^2 - 9x + 20
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = (√20)^2
Simplify the right side:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = 20
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 - 20 = 0
Factor:
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
Solve for each x:
x = 4 and x = -2
The side cant be a negative value, so the answer would be x = 4
The answer is B.
Answer:
x= -18
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to isolate x ( move everything to the other side of the equation)
-7 = -1 + x/3
-6 = x/3
x= 3*-6
x= -18
Answer:
<em>(d).</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept (0, 3) is initial value of graph ⇒ (d). <em>3 miles; it represents the original distance of the bird from its nest</em>
