Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=−5 or x=3

Explanation:

   the factors of - 15 which sum to + 2 are + 5 and - 3

   ⇒(x+5)(x−3)=0

   equate each factor to zero and solve for x

   x+5=0⇒x=−5

   x−3=0⇒x=3

Answer:

3 or -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0

To solve this you need to factorise:

(x + 5) (x - 3) = 0

Now find the x value for each of these brackets

(x + 5) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0

x = -5 or x = 3

Answer please////////
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Coordinate of B: (3, -5)

Coordinate of C: (3, 5)

Coordinate of D: (0, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is (-2, -5).

The distance between line AB is 5 units.

The distance between line BC is 10 units.

To find the point for B, the distance is 5 units on the x axis.

The x point for point B is -2 + 5 which is 3 units. x = 3

The y point doesn't change, so the coordinate of point B is (3, -5).

___________________________________________________________

The distance between line BC is 10 units.

To find the point of C, the distance is 10 unites on the y axis.

The y point for point b is -5 + 10 which is 5 units. y = 5

The x point doesn't change, so the coordinate of point C is (3, 5).

___________________________________________________________

We find an equation for line AC. The equation is y = mx + b.

Y is any y point on the line. X is any x point on the line. M is the slope of the line. B is the y-intercept of the line.

Since D is right on the y axis, this means that the x point of D is 0.

Point C is (3, 5) and point A is (-2, -5).

We use (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and substitute. Y is the y point and x is the x point.

(5 - (-5)) / (3 - (-2)) = 10 / 5 = 2

The slope of the line is 2.

With this, we get the equation of y = 2x + b

We insert one of the random x point and y point which (in this case) I choose (3, 5).

Substituting, we get -

5 = 2 * 3 + b

5 = 6 + b

b = 5 - 6

b = -1

So the y-intercept of the graph is -1 and for the graph, we get -

y = 2x - 1

D is already the line of the y-intercept, but we can make sure by inserting the x point as 0.

y = 2 * 0 - 1

y = 0 - 1

y = -1

The coordinate of point D is (0, -1).

Determine if the two triangles are congruent and write the conjecture.<br> pls help
viva [34]

Answer:

(see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to make it easier for yourself, "flip" the triangles so that they "match." To see what I'm talking about, refer to IMAGE.A.

Now that you can tell that the congruent side and angles are corresponding, you have to prove them congruent.

There is one side and two angles, so it's AAS or SAA.
