Answer:
I've attached the Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
here it is
The answer is C because y=-3/4 which is a negative.
The answer you're looking for is, x = 3,-5
Answer:
AC=18
Step-by-step explanation:
To find AC, use the Pythagorean Theorem. Since the longest side (hypotenuse) is known, instead of a²+b²=c², the equation will be c²-a²=b². 12²-8²=b²
144-64=b²
80=b²
√80=√b²
8.94427191=b
That is for one of the two right triangles that make up the tent. Since there are 2 triangles, 8.94427191 only equals BC or AB. So, multiply 8.94427191×2=17.88854382 to find the length of AC.
AC= 18

"Completing the square" is one of many different techniques for solving a quadratic equation. What you do is add a constant to both sides of the equation such that the lefthand side can be factored into the form a(x+d)^2. For instance, squaring (X+D) = X^2 + 2DX + D^2. Notice the 2DX term. That is the same term as the 15x term in the problem. So 2D = 15, D = 7.5. And D^2 = 7.5^2 = 56.25.
So we have
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25
Which is
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
Which is the answer desired.
Now the rest of this is going beyond the answer. Namely, it's answering the question "Why does complementing the square help?"
Well, we know that the left hand side of the equation can now be written as
(x+7.5)^2 = 105.25
Now take the square root of each side
(x+7.5) = sqrt(105.25)
And let's use both the positive and negative square roots.
So
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
and
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
And let's find X.
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
x = 2.759142264
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
x = -17.75914226
So the roots for x^2 + 15x - 49 is 2.759142264, and -17.75914226</span>
