So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE

so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units

Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. F(x) = 4x2 8x 1 –1 = 4x2 8x –1 = 4(x2 2x)
Ymorist [56]

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

If the surface area of a cube is 294, whats the length of the cube?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of surfaces of cube are 6.

Each surface is square.

And area of square is (side)^2

That means, total surface area will be 6 * (side)^2

From question,

294 = 6 * (side)^2 ( Surface area given)

=> 294 ÷ 6 = ( side) ^2

=> 49 = side^2

=> √49 = side

=> 7 = side

So, length of edge of cube is 7

The second question
stich3 [128]

2)

A: 5

B: 9a & a (from a/6)

C: -5 & ÷4

D: -5 & 9a

I haven't done algebra in a year, so don't think my answers are perfect!

definitions:

term: something separated by a sign/symbol (÷, ×, - +) (a/6 are two separate terms, ÷)

constant terms: variables that can be solved.

unlike terms: terms that don't "go" together, you can't subtract 5 from 9a because there's a variable in the way (eyy that rhymes)

like terms: terms that you can add/subtract/multiply/divide to another term

(another answer to c is 9a & a)
