Mama L [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x = -2 - 2 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 + 4 x = 4

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 8

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 2)^2 = 8

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 2 = 2 sqrt(2) or x + 2 = -2 sqrt(2)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x + 2 = -2 sqrt(2)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x = -2 - 2 sqrt(2)

Find the length of a line segment CD with endpoint C at (-3,1) and endpoint D at (5,6)

I believe your length would be 8, because -3 to get to 0 is 3 then after that you still have 5 so you add them and get 8
