Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If you really meant X^2+12=40, then this simplifies to x^2 = 28, and therefore x = ±√28, or x = ±2√7.
2) If you meant X^2+12x=40:
a) Take half of the coefficient of x: that would be (1/2)(12), or 6.
b) Square this result, obtaining: 6² = 36
c) Add this 36 to x^2 + 12x + 40, and then subtract it: We get:
x² + 12x + 36 - 36 = 40, or x² + 12x + 36 = 76
We have to add 36, as indicated above, to "complete the square."
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You used Pythagorean theroem which is correct as this does form a right triangle however 50 is the hypotenuse as the ladder is propped up against the wall. 30 would then be the height of the triangle and the base is unknown so...

50 squared minus thirty squared gives 1600 so:

Therefore x is the square root of 1600 which is 40
I think it is #3 sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
A = 15 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has 1 pair of parallel sides and is therefore a trapezium.
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A =
h (b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the perpendicular height between bases and b₁, b₂ are bases
here h = 3, b₁ = 3 , b₂ = 7 , then
A =
× 3 × (3 + 7) = 1.5 × 10 = 15 units²
What your gonna want to do is any where there is an x you are going to put in the number from the x column. You then solve for y and that is the answer for that number you used for x that would be your y
