Answer:
12√5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached sketch, there are 2 triangles which we need to focus on, triangle A (in yellow) and triangle B (In red).
If you look at triangle A, we notice that X is the hypotenuse of triangle A. This means that X must be the largest length in triangle A, hence we can say that x must be greater than 24 (or 24 < x)
Now look at triangle B, in this case, they hypotenuse is 30 and x is the length of one of the sides. This means that x must be shorter than the hypotenuse (i.e x < 30)
from the 2 paragraphs above, we can see now that we can assemble an inequality in x
24 < x < 30
If we look at the choices, we can immediately ignore 33 because x must be less than 30,
working out the choices, we find that the only choice which falls into the range 24<x<30 is the 2nd choice 12√5 (= 26.83) (which is the answer)
The last 2 choices give values smaller than 24 and are hence cannot be the answer
The solutions of the quadratic equation x² - 5x - 36 = 0 are -4 and 9.
The graph is attached below.
- We are given a quadratic function.
- A polynomial equation of degree two in one variable is a quadratic equation.
- The function given to us is :
- y = x² - 5x - 36
- We need to find the solution of the quadratic function.
- To find the roots, let y = 0.
- x² - 5x - 36 = 0
- Use the quadratic formula.
- In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a formula that gives the solution(s) to a quadratic equation.
- x = [-b±√b²-4ac]/2a
- x = [-(-5) ± √25 - 4(1)(-36)]/2(1)
- x = (5 ± √25 + 144)/2
- x = (5 ± √169)/2
- x = (5 ± 13)/2
- x = 9 or x = -4
