Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Side A is the longest side

Side B is half of A = A/2

Side C is 8m less than A = A-8

Perimeter of traingle = A+B+C

52 = A + A/2 + A-8

Collect like terms

52+8= A+A/2+A

60 = 5/2 A

Divide 60 by the coefficient of A

60÷5/2 = A

60×2/5= A

A=24m

Substitute the value of A into the expressions for sides B and C

Side B =A/2=24/2=12m

Side C =A-8=24-8=16m

The sides of the triangle are 24m, 12m and 16m

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x
Viktor [21]

The given equation is 4x^2=x^3+2x.

On the left side it has 4x² and on the right side the expression is x³+2x.

So, if we have any system of equations in which we have these two expression which will be equal to any other variable then we can use that system of equations to find the roots.

Now notice that in option D it's given,

y=4x² and y=x³+2x.

So, if we will equate this equations then we will get the same above equation which will be use to find the roots.

So, D is the correct choice.

Can someone help me solve (x+18)^(1/2)+2=x
____ [38]
Lets solve your equation step by step:
(x+18)^1/2+2=x
step 1:Add -2 to both sides:
(x+18)^1/2+2-2=x+-2
(x+18^)1/2=x-2
step 2:solve exponent
(x+18)^1/2=x-2
((x+18)^1/2)^2=(x-2)^2
x+18=x^2-4x+4
x+18-(x^2-4x+4)=x^2-4x+4-(x^2-4x+4) (subtract x^2-4x+4 from both sides)
-x^2+5x+14=0
(-x-2)(x-7)=0(factor left side of equation)
-x-2=0 or x-7=0 (set factors equal to zero)
x=-2 or x=7

check answers:(plug them in to make sure they work )
x=-2(doesn't work in original equation)
x=7(works in original equation)
