x^{2} -2x-15=0
P(-15)
s(-2)
x^{2} -5x+3x-15
=x(x-5)+3(x-5)
=(x+3)(x-5)
x=5

Question 3 Determine the leg lengths between the two points: (6, -3) and (-2,4).
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

→You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this, by plugging in the numbers, like so:

\begin{gathered}a^2+b^2=c^2\\x^2+(x-3)^2=(x+3)^2\end{gathered}

a

2

+b

2

=c

2

x

2

+(x−3)

2

=(x+3)

2

x^2+x^2-6x+9=x^2+6x+9x

2

+x

2

−6x+9=x

2

+6x+9

→Subtract x^2-6x+9x

2

−6x+9 from both sides:

x^2 = 12xx

2

=12x

→Subtract 12x from both sides:

x^2 -12x=0x

2

−12x=0

→Factor out x:

x(x-12)=0x(x−12)=0

→Separate, set = to 0, and solve:

\begin{gathered}x = 0\\x -12=0\end{gathered}

x=0

x−12=0

→ Add 12 to both sides: x = 12x=12

→So we have 0 and 12, as our answers. However, we cannot have 0 as a side length, since this would not be possible.

→All we need to do is take 12, and plug it into the equation for the shortest leg.

\begin{gathered}x - 3=?\\12-3=9\end{gathered}

x−3=?

12−3=9

A collection of dimes and nickels is worth $8.40 there are 106 coins how many of each are there
kotegsom [21]
There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.

N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44
