Answer: k = {8, -8}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In order for a quadratic equation to have exactly one solution, the discriminant must equal zero. → b² - 4ac = 0

4x² + kx + 4 = 0

↓ ↓ ↓

a=4 b=k c=4

b² - 4ac = 0

k² - 4(4)(4) = 0

k² = 64

k = √64

k = ± 8

#26 What are the solutions to the equation 4x2 - 52x + 169 = 121?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

D. {1, 12}

Step-by-step explanation:

4X^2-52x+169=121

The equation can be summarized thus:

4X^2-52x+169-121=0

4X^2-52x+48=0

divide the each number of the equation by 4

4X^2/4-52x/4+48/4=0

x^2-13x+12=0

we need to numbers that when we multiply them the result is 12 and -13 when we add together

-1 and -12(-1-12=-13 and -1*-12=12)

x^2-x-12x+12

x(x-1)-12(x-1)

(x-1)(x-12)

x-1=0 or x-12=0

x=1 or x=12

The triangle shown is a right triangle. Create the equation to be used to find the missing lengths.

telo118 [61]

The equation used to find the missing lengths:
9 = __SR (5^2 + x^2)__
As long as it is a right triangle, this is called the Pythagorean Theorem
${9}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {5}^{2} \\ \sqrt{ {9}^{2} } = \sqrt{( {x}^{2} + {5}^{2} )} \\ 9= \sqrt{( {x}^{2} + {5}^{2} )}$

** FYI- if you wanted to SOLVE FOR THE MISSING SIDE X, then just switch around the original equation solving in terms of x:
${9}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {5}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {9}^{2} - {5}^{2} \\ x= \sqrt{( {9}^{2} - {5}^{2})} = \sqrt{(81 - 25)} \\$
$x = \sqrt{56} = \sqrt{(8 \times 7)} \\ x= \sqrt{(4 \times 14)} = \sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{14} \\ x = 2 \sqrt{14}$
