Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is the quantity under the radical in the quadratic formula ...

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[tex]

When that quantity is positive, the square root is real, and the formula gives two real values for x.

Answer:

c. a: 4

b: 12

c: 9

4x² +12x+9=0

(2x+3)(2x+3)= 0

(2x+3)²=0 {square root both sides}

2x+3=0

2x=-3

x= -3/2

A) For AQRS use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem to solve for x.

xenn [34]

Answer:

a. x = 14

b. Perimeter = 77

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Based on the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

$\frac{2x - 2}{13} = \frac{21 - 7}{7}$

$\frac{2x - 2}{13} = \frac{14}{7}$

$\frac{2x - 2}{13} = 2$

Cross multiply

$2x - 2 = 2(13)$

$2x - 2 = 26$

Add 2 to both sides

$2x = 26 + 2$

$2x = 28$

Divide both sides by 2

x = 14

b. Perimeter of ∆QRS = RQ + QS + RS = (2x - 2) + 13 + 17 + (21 - 7) + 7

Plug in the value of x

= (2(14) - 2) + 13 + 17 + 14 + 7

= 26 + 13 + 17 + 14 + 7

= 77

Can someone solve and explain

S_A_V [24]

The answer is F.30
Explanation: If we do guess and check, if we multiply the ratios by 10, it would be 30:40:50, which doesn’t add up to 180 degrees. if we multiply the ratios by 20, It would be 60:80:100, which also doesn’t add up to 180 degrees. How about we multiply the ratios by 15? It would be 45:60:75, which does add up to 180! The difference between x and z is 30, so the answer is F.30
