first number: x

second number: y

Sum: x + y = -9 ⇒ y = -x - 9

Product: xy = 20 ⇒ x(-x - 9) = 20

-x² - 9x = 20

0 = x² + 9x + 20

0 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

0 = x + 4 or 0 = x + 5

x = -4 or x = -5

y = -x - 9 ⇒ y = -(-4) - 9 = -5 or y = -(-5) - 9 = -4

Answer: -4, -5

In the figure, triangle CAE is an enlargement of triangle CBD with scale factor of 4/3. The area of the smaller triangle is 9cm2

balandron [24]

Answer:

16 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle CAE$ -- Bigger Triangle

$\triangle CBD$ -- Smaller Triangle

$k = \frac{4}{3}$ --- Scale factor

Area of CBD = 9

Required

Determine the area of CAE

The area of triangle CBD is:

$A_1 = \frac{1}{2}bh$

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

The area of CAE is:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}BH$

Where:

$B = \frac{4}{3}b$ and

$H = \frac{4}{3}h$

The above values is the dimension of the larger triangle (after dilation).

So, we have:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}b * \frac{4}{3} * h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3} * \frac{4}{3} *b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{16}{9} *b* h$

Re-order

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}* b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}bh$

Recall that:

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*9$

$A_2 = 16$

Hence, the area is 16 cm^2

What do you do to check whether a number is rational or irrational? In your explanation, use an example of an irrational and a r

denis23 [38]

All numbers that are not rational are considered irrational. An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. An irrational number has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point.
