Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to use Pythagoras' identity twice to find y
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
In right triangle MUT to find TU
TU² + 3² = 6², that is
TU² + 9 = 36 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
TU = 27 ( take the square root of both sides )
TU =
=
= 3
In right triangle NUT to find y
y² = 9² + (3
)² = 81 + 27 = 108 ( take the square root of both sides )
y =
=
= 6
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
