Answer:

B. 4\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle altitude theorem states that the altitude of a right angled triangles formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the 2 line segments it creates.

This can be represented as:

h = \sqrt{(xy)}

Where,

h = the length of the altitude,

x and y are the lengths of the 2 segments formed.

Therefore, the length of the altitude = h = \sqrt{(14*8)}

h = \sqrt{112}

h = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}

h = 4\sqrt{7}

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

Explain how you could use the distribute property and mental math to find 5 times 198
Sladkaya [172]
Multiply 100 times 5 in your head to get 500, 

100 * 5 = 500
90 * 5 = 450
8 * 5 = 40
Put those 3 together into one equation, \/
(100 * 5) + (90 * 5) + (8 * 5) = 990 OR (100 * 5) + (98 * 5) = 990
depends on how distributed the teacher wants it to be.

Put the given information in the appropriate spot in the equation. Simplify as required.
  y = (-1/3)x + 0
can be simplified to

y = (-1/3)x

lbvjy [14]
C=8h+12
the 8h represents the $8 per hour for renting the boat, and h represents however many hours you rent the boat for.  The +12 is the initial $12 fee.  This is in slope intercept form, just using different variables than y=mx+b
