The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given opposite and adjacent
we want to figure out x°
remember that,
where our opp is 5 and adj is 12.5
let 
be x°
so
by using calculator
hence,
our answer is a
D since it looks pretty difficult
Answer:
n = 8 or n = −6
Explanation:
First, isolate the absolute value:
5 − |n − 1| = −2
7 − |n − 1| = 0
7 = |n − 1|
Then, split this into two equations, since the result of the absolute value could be positive or negative:
7 = n − 1 7 = −(n − 1)
8 = n 7 = −n + 1
n = −6
2b - 15 > 21
add 15 to both sides:
2b-15+15 > 21 + 15
2b > 36
Divide both sides by 2 :
2b/2 > 36/2
2b = 36
b = 36 / 2
b > 18
hope this helps!
