Answer:

The first step is to place the compass needle on one of the ends of the given segment AB, and draw an arc above and below the segment AB

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps to construct a perpendicular to segment AB are;

1) Place the compass needle on one of the ends of the given segment AB, and draw an arc above and below the segment AB

2) With the same compass width, place the compass needle on the other end of segment AB, and draw an arc above and below the segment AB intersecting the arcs constructed in step 1 above. Label the point of intersection as C and D

3) With a straight edge, draw a line joining the points of intersection C and D of the two arcs. The line CD. is the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB.

An artist wants to frame a square painting with an area of 400 square inches . she wants

Artemon [7]

(a) $x^{2}$ = 400
(b) $\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{400}$
$x=20,-20$
(c) Only the positive solution makes sense because you cannot have a negative side length.
(d) Since one side of the painting is 20 inches, all four sides together will be 20*4 = 80 inches

What two values of x are roots of the polynomial below

Anarel [89]

Both A and B will be answers to the solution.

Since you already have the equation set and equal to 0, you can find the roots by first getting your a, b, and c values for the quadratic equation.

a = 1 (number attached to the x^2)
b = -3 (number attached to the x)
c = 5 (number not attached to a variable)

Then we can use these values in the quadratic equation.

$\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{3 +/- \sqrt{ -3^{2} -4(1)(5) } }{2(1)}$

$\frac{3 +/- \sqrt{-11 } }{2}$
