Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is A = s². So the area of this square is A = (2x+2)² = 4x² + 8x + 4.

The perimeter of the triangle is 4/3x + 4/3x+4/3x = 12/3x = 4x.

The difference between the two values is subtraction. Subtract the expressions and simplify.

4x² + 8x + 4 -4x = 4x² + 4x + 4

This expression is also equal to 3. Set it equal to 3 and solve for x.

4x² + 4x + 4 = 3

4x² + 4x + 1 = 0

Substitute a = 4, b = 4 and c = 1 into the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}.

Substitute and you'll have:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{4^2-4(4)(1)} }{2(4)}=\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{16-16} }{8)}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{0} }{8} = \frac{-4}{8}=\frac{-1}{2}

f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 3)[x − (2 − i)][x − (2 + i)] The function has real roots and imaginary roots.
Feliz [49]
The real roots are 3 and -3.
Imaginary roots:-
x - (2 - i) = 0
x = 2 -i  is one imaginary root and the other is  2 + i

Remark

It looks like all you want is question 6. If that is the case, there are two ways to do it.

Algebra

<u>First answer</u>

abs(b - 22) = 5      Equate to + 5

b - 22 = 5              Add 22 to both sides.

b = 5 + 22

b = 27

<u>Second Answer</u>

Equate to - 5

b - 22 = -5

b = 22 - 5

b = 17

Method Two

<u>Graph the question</u>

The graph y = abs(b - 22) is shown below in red.

The values of y when y =5 are shown in blue.

Answer:

(x+2) (x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+8x+12

What 2 numbers multiply together to give you 12 and add together to give you 8

2*6 = 12

2+6 = 8

(x+2) (x+6)

Wyatt solved the following equation:
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6

Expand the brackets.

x + 3x - 2 = 6

Add like terms.

4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 on both sides.

4x = 6 + 2

4x = 8

Divide 4 into both sides.

x = 8/4

x = 2
