- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
4x/15 = 60/x
4x^2 = 900
x^2 = 225
x = 15
Answer:
31 units
Step-by-step explanation:
When the figure is a parallelogram, opposite sides have the same measure:
AD = BC
3x +7 = 5x -9 . . . . . . substitute given expressions
16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 9-3x
8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Use this value of x in the expression for AD to find its required length:
AD = 3(8) +7 = 24 +7
AD = 31 . . . . units
The length of segment AD must be 31 units for ABCD to be a parallelogram.
