C(a,b), because the x-coordinate( first coordinate) is a (seeing as it is situated directly above point B, which also has an x-coordinate of a) and the y-coordinate ( second coordinate) is b (seeing as it is situated on the same horizontal level as point D, which also has a y-coordinate of b)
the length of AC can be calculated with the theorem of Pythagoras:
length AB = a - 0 = a
length BC = b - 0 = b
seeing as the length of AC is the longest, it can be calculated by the following formula:
It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one short equation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^ means to the power of by the way)
in this case, A and B are lengths AB and BC, so lenght AC can be calculated as the following:
a^2 + b^2 = (length AC)^2
length AC = √(a^2 + b^2)
Extra information: Seeing as the shape of the drawn lines is a rectangle, lines AC and BD have to be the same length, so BD is also √(a^2 + b^2). But that is also stated in the assignment!
Answer:
(x−3)(x−5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's factor x2−8x+15
x2−8x+15
The middle number is -8 and the last number is 15.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -8
Multiply together to get 15
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -3 and -5:
-3+-5 = -8
-3*-5 = 15
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -3 and -5 to get...
(x-3)(x-5)
The answer is b because you can divide them by 2 to get the answer<span />
Answer:
x < -8
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - (2x - 5) < -4(x + 2)
-2x + 8 < -4x - 8
-2x < -4x - 16
2x < -16
x < -8
Best of Luck!
