Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer choices suggest there is a common factor of (x+2) that can be removed from numerator and denominator.
The denominator factors as ...
The numerator obviously has no factors of x. We can try any of several means to determine if (x+2) is a factor. I tried synthetic division and found that the numerator can be written as ...
Then the expression simplifies to ...
Answer:
AM = 25, AC = 15, CM = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
In ΔACM, ∠C = 90°, ⊥
, AP = 9, and PM = 16
² +
² =
²
=
+ PM = 9 + 16 = 25
= 25
² =
² +
² = 9² +
²
∴ ² = 9² +
²
Similarly we get;
² = 16² +
²
Therefore, we get;
² +
² = 9² +
² + 16² +
² =
² = 25²
2·² = 25² - (9² + 16²) = 288
² = 288/2 = 144
= √144 = 12
From ² = 9² +
², we get
= √(9² + 12²) = 15
= 15
From, ² = 16² +
², we get;
= √(16² + 12²) = 20
= 20.
