The quadratic equation:
4x^2 + 34x + 60 = 0
4x^2 + 24x + 10x + 60 = 0
4x(x + 6) + 10(x + 6)
(4x + 10) (x + 6)
x = - 6 , - 5/2
the answer is : c. -6, -5/2
hope this help
Let the length of shortest side be - x
length of medium side - x +3
length of longest side - x +3 + 11
so , according to question
=> x + x +3 + x +3 + 11 = 59
=> x + x +x + 3 + 3 + 11 = 59
=> 3x = 59 - 17
=> 3 x = 42
=> x = 42/3
=> x = 14
Shortest side = x = 14
medium side = x + 3 = 14+3 = 17
longest side = x + 3 +11 = 14 + 3 + 11 = 28

<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>

<u>The Law of Cosines
</u>
It relates the length of the sides of a triangle with one of its internal angles.
Let a,b, and c be the length of the sides of a given triangle, and x the included angle between sides a and b, then the following relation applies:
Since we know the values of all three side lengths, we solve the equation for x:
For the triangle ABC in the image, a=10, b=15, c=13, thus:
Thus, A = 58.67°
For the right triangle of height h and hypotenuse 10, we use the sine ratio:
Solving for h:
h = 8.54 units
