By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem
The height, x, of the tree is 70 meters.
Answer:
(A) 12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets define the number as x.
"8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number" is translated into "8(x - 6) = 4x"
8(x - 6) = 4x
8x - 48 = 4x
4x = 48
x = 12
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
49y² - x² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , then
49y² - x²
= (7y)² - x²
= (7y - x )(7y + x) → A
Answer:
{3,-1}
Step-by-step explanation:
m^2 -2m -3=0
What 2 numbers multiply to -3 and add to negative 2
-3* 1 = -3
-3 +1 =-2
(m-3) (m+1) =0
Using the zero product property
m-3 = 0 m+1 =0
m=3 m=-1
{3,-1}
