Answer:

x = 15

x = 15

The answers should be the same because the triangles are similar.  The ratio of the sides are in the same proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  x              12

------- = --------------

20               16

using cross products

x*16 = 20 * 12

16x = 240

divide by 16 on each side

16x/16 = 240/16

x = 15


b  x              6

------- = --------------

20               8

using cross products

x * 8 = 6 * 20

8x = 120

divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

c.  The answers should be the same because the triangles are similar.  The ratio of the sides are in the same proportion.

Answer:

x= 15 for parts A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/20 is the same as 12/16 which after cross multiplying is 16x = 240. 240/16= 15 which is why x= 15 for part A. In part A you write the equation as x/20 = 6/8 which after cross multiplying is 8x = 120. 120 divided by 8 is 15 so x=15 on both parts.

Show all work to factor x4 − 10x2 + 9 completely.
leva [86]

Answer:

(x+1)(x-1)(x+3)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x4-10x^2+9

Group expression so that the coefficients of the x^2 terms add up to +9.

= x^4 -9x^2   - x^2+9

match coefficients in both groups

= x^4 -9x^2   - (x^2-9)

factor each group

= x^2 (x^2-9) - 1(x^2-9)

now factor out the common factor (x^2-9)

= (x^2-1)(x^2-9)

Finally, factor each quadratic factor

= (x+1)(x-1)(x+3)(x-3)
