Answer:
a=1
an= an-1 -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the picture below.
since we know that x = 3/7, we can then plug that on either of the twin legs, since it's an isosceles, and get the length of each leg, so say let's plug it in 5x + 16
![5x + 16\implies 5\left( \cfrac{3}{7} \right)+16\implies \cfrac{38}{7}+16\implies \cfrac{38+112}{7}\implies \cfrac{150}{7}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\\stackrel{\textit{both legs}}{\cfrac{150}{7}+\cfrac{150}{7}}+\stackrel{\textit{base}}{6}\implies \cfrac{150+150+42}{7}\implies \cfrac{342}{7}\implies 48\frac{6}{7}\impliedby \textit{perimeter}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5x%20%2B%2016%5Cimplies%205%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B7%7D%20%5Cright%29%2B16%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B38%7D%7B7%7D%2B16%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B38%2B112%7D%7B7%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B150%7D%7B7%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bboth%20legs%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B150%7D%7B7%7D%2B%5Ccfrac%7B150%7D%7B7%7D%7D%2B%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bbase%7D%7D%7B6%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B150%2B150%2B42%7D%7B7%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B342%7D%7B7%7D%5Cimplies%2048%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B7%7D%5Cimpliedby%20%5Ctextit%7Bperimeter%7D)
Answer:
DF
Step-by-step explanation:
The side opposite the largest angle has the longest measurement
<E has the largest measurement so DF is the longest side
Answer:
Go through the explanation you should be able to solve them
Step-by-step explanation:
How do you know a difference of two square;
Let's consider the example below;
x^2 - 9 = ( x+ 3)( x-3); this is a difference of two square because 9 is a perfect square.
Let's consider another example,
2x^2 - 18
If we divide through by 2 we have:
2x^2/2 -18 /2 = x^2 - 9 ; which is a perfect square as shown above
Let's take another example;
x^6 - 64
The above expression is the same as;
(x^3)^2 -( 8)^2= (x^3 + 8) (x^3 -8); this is a difference of 2 square.
Let's take another example
a^5 - y^6 ; a^5 - (y ^3)^2
We cannot simplify a^5 as we did for y^6; hence the expression is not a perfect square
Lastly let's consider
a^4 - b^4 we can simplify it as (a^2)^2 - (b^2)^2 ; which is a perfect square because it evaluates to
(a^2 + b^2) ( a^2 - b^2)
You look at the sign behind the second term. Here are some examples...
2x + 8 - 4x
You are going to subtract 2x - 4x because there is a negative sign behind the 4x.
8y + 1 + y
You are going to add 8y + y because there is a positive sign behind the y.
4 + 2x - 5 + 7x
You are going to subtract 4 - 5 because there is a negative sign behind the 5.
You are going to add 2x + 7x because there is a positive sign behind the 7x.
