X^2+8x-6=0
(x+8/2)^2-(8/2)^2-6=0
(x+4)^2-16-6=0
(x+4)^2-22=0

x+4= ± square root 22

x=-4 + square root 22 or x=-4 - square root 22
=0.6904 =-8.6904

STEP 1- since 6 doesn't contain the variable to solve for move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides
X^2-8X=-6
STEP 2- create a trinomial square on the left side of the equation find the value that is equal to the square of half of b the coefficient of x 
(b/2)^2 =(-4)^2
STEP 3- add the term to each side of the equation
x^2-8x+(-4)^2=-6=(-4) 
STEP 4- simplify the equation
x^2-8x+16=10 
STEP 5- factor the perfect trinomial square into (x-4)^2
(x-4)^2=10
STEP 6-solve the equation for x
x=4= square root of 10

Which is not an equation of the line going through (6, 7) and (2, –1)?
garri49 [273]
Answer - D.

you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...

Strategy:  before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,

First you have to  find the gradient (m) of the line.
  you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2

replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others 
 

Hope you get it!

Enter the volume of the right rectangular prim in cubic inches
Sati [7]

Answer:

602 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume, multiply length, width, and height. In this case, it is 5, 14, and 8 3/5. I used a calculator, but if not, solve it using regular multiplication. First 5 times 14 since that is easier to get out of the way, then 8 3/5, and it is easiest to treat a fraction as a decimal when multiplying, in this case it would be 0.6. I am not going to explain how I got that since you were asking how to find volume.

Find a set of parametric equations for the rectangular equation that satisfies the given condition. (Enter your answers as a com
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x = 3 - t and y = 4 - 2t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find such a set of parametric equations for the given equation which result in an x-value equal to 3 and a y-value equal to 4 when t is substituted as 0.

There can be more than 1 possible answers to this problem. You have to use hit and trial method to come up with the correct set of parametric equations. One of the possible set is:

y = 4 - 2t , x = 3 - t

For t = 0

x= 3 and y = 4

Hence, the condition is satisfied.

Now checking if these parametric equations result in given equation or not.

From second equation, we get:

t = 3 - x

Using this value in first equation, we get:

y = 4 - 2(3 - x)

y = 4 - 6 + 2x

y = 2x - 2

Which is the given equation.

Hence the set of parametric equation is:

x = 3 - t and y = 4 - 2t
