If you put and label the three points in a line, you will see that RS + ST = RT.

Then you only need to substitue with the expressions given for RS and ST to find RT.

RT = x +1 + 2x - 2 = 3x - 1

Also, RT = 5x - 5

Then, 3x - 1 = 5x - 5

5x - 3x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

NOw substitute x in any of the expressions for RT:

RT = 5x - 5 = 5(2) - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5

Answer: RT = 5

Identify any zeros of y=x^2+4x+5.
Jet001 [13]

A there are no real zeros

using the discriminant b² - 4ac  to determine the nature of the zeros

for y = x² + 4x + 5 ( with a = 1, b = 4 and c = 5 )

• If b² - 4ac > 0 there are 2 real and distinct zeros

• If b² - 4ac = 0 there is a real and equal zero

• If b² - 4ac < 0 there are no real zeros

b² - 4ac = 16 - 20 = - 4

Since discriminant < 0 there are no real zeros
