Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras theorem which says that the square of the hyponeneus side of a right angled triangle is equal to the sum of square of the two opposite sides.

mathematically,

|H|² = |OPP|² + |ADJ|²

H= (x-2) , opp= 9 adj=(x+1)

(x-2)² = (9)² + (x+1)²

x² -4x + 4 = 81 + x²+2x+1

collecting the like terms

x²- x² - 4x-2x = 81 +1 - 4

- 6x = 89 -4

-6x = 78

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is -6

-6x/-6 = 78/-6

x = -13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem

a^2=b^2+c^2

(x-2)^2=9^2+(x+1)^2

x^2-4x+4=81+x^2+2x+1

Collect like terms

-4x-2x=82-4

-6x=78

x=-13

Factor each of the following expressions into two binomials.
Anestetic [448]
Answer:

Explanation:

1.
x^2 - 10x + 24
= (x - 6)(x - 4)

2.
x^2 - 12x + 27
= (x - 9)(x - 3)

3.
x^2 - 13x + 36
= (x - 9)(x - 4)

4.
x^2 - 5x - 14
= (x - 7)(x + 2)

5.
x^2 + x - 20
= (x + 5)(x - 4)

6.
x^2 - 3x - 40
= (x - 8)(x + 5)

7.
x^2 + 2x - 48
= (x - 8)(x + 6)

8.
x^2 + 10x - 24
= (x - 2)(x + 12)

9.
x^2 - 7x - 44
= (x - 11)(x + 4)

10.
x^2 + x - 2
= (x + 2)(x - 1)

11.
x^2 + 2x + 1
= (x + 1)(x + 1)

12.
x^2 - x - 6
= (x - 3)(x + 2)
