Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
f(x) = 5(2 - x)
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]: f(-1) = 5(2 - -1)
- (Parenthesis) Subtract: f(-1) = 5(3)
- Multiply: f(-1) = 15
Use the Pythagorean Theorem of a² + b² = c² to solve for x.
x² + (x + 3)² = (√117)²
x² + x² + 6x + 9 = 117
2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
2x² + 6x + 9 - 117 = 0
2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
2x² + 18x - 12x - 108 = 0
2x(x + 9) - 12(x + 9) = 0
(2x - 12)(x + 9) = 0
x = - 9, 6
Length cannot be negative so you can't use - 9.
x = 6. Option C is your answer.
(x-5)(x+2)=0
roots: x=5 and x= -2

Divide 25 by two and which is 12.5 then multiply that by 5 and you get you’re answer
