Answer:

a²+b²=126

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)²=a²+b²+2ab

(12)²=a²+b²+2×9

144=a²+b²+18

a²+b²=144-18=126

Which of the following are solutions?
zloy xaker [14]

This is a quadratic equation. There's a shortcut (two shortcuts really) called the Shakespeare Quadratic Formula (2b or -2b) applicable when the middle term is even:

x^2 - 2bx + c \textrm{ has zeros } x= b\pm \sqrt{b^2-c}

ax^2 - 2bx + c \textrm{ has zeros } x= \dfrac 1 a( \left b\pm \sqrt{b^2-ac} \right)

OK, our problem is

9x^2 - 6x -7 = 0

x = \frac 1 9 (3 \pm \sqrt{9-(9)(-7)}) = \frac 1 9(3 \pm \sqrt{72})= \frac 1 9(3 \pm 3 \sqrt{8}) = \frac 1 3(1 \pm \sqrt 8)

Typically we'd write \sqrt 8 = 2 \sqrt 2 but the answers here don't so we won't either.

Answer: C and D

1) Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
Maru [420]
In 1)

Line 1 has following coordinates.
(0,0) ; (1,-2) ; (2,-4)

Line 2 has following coordinates.
(0,0) ; (1,0.5) ; (2,1)

Line 3 has following coordinates.
(0,1) ; (1,1.5) ; (2,2)

If you'll draw the lines, you'll observe that Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2 and Line 3 and Line 2 and Line 3 are parallel to each other.

So,
Option D will be correct.

A triangle has the following measurements: B=79 degrees a=5ft
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The law of cosines for this particular situation is b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cosB.
Filling in what you know, you have b^2 = 25 + 49 - [2(5)(7)-.1908], which simplifies to b^2 = 74 - 69.8092 which gives you a b^2 value of 4.1908, but you have to take the square root of that so you get a side value for b of 2.05.
