Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
You know the adjacent and you need to find the opposite, so you would use tangent. Your equation would look like this; tan 26°= x/28. You would need to multiply both sides by 28 to simplify it to this; 28*tan 26°= x
Solving this, you would get an answer of 13.7
Answer:24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
with that template in mind,
C = 2 B = 1 C/B = 2/1 or +2, horizontal left shift of 2 units
f(x) shifted left by 2 units is f(x+2).
49–2ax –a^2–x^2
Extract the negative sign
= 49 - (a^2 +2ax +x^2)
Factor using a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2
= 49 - (a+x)^2
Factor using a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
= ( 7- (a + x)) * (7 + (a + x))
= ( 7- a - x) * (7 + a + x)
