I like this question. When we factorise this question the brackets have to be identical.
5 has to be square rooted to become √5. From, FOIL we know that the last digit is times by the other last digit to find the 5, as our brackets are identical this number is the same. The square root of 5.
This number is doubled in identical brackets to find the middle number. so it is 2√5. As there is a minus number there the brackets are: (x-√5)(x-√5). Multiplying this out gives us: x²-2√5 x+5. k=2√5 (or -2√5, depending on if the minus is counted or not)

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\if\ \Delta < 0-no\ zeros\\if\ \Delta=0-one\ zero\\if\ \Delta > 0-two\ zeros


f(x)=x^2-kx+5=0\\\\a=1;\ b=-k;\ c=5\\\\\Delta=(-k)^2-4\cdot1\cdot5=k^2-20\\\\one\ zero\ if\ \Delta=0\\\\therefore\\k^2-20=0\ \ \ \ |add\ 20\ to\ both\ sides\\\\k^2=20\\\\k=\pm\sqrt{20}\\\\k=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot5}\\\\\boxed{k=-2\sqrt5\ or\ k=2\sqrt5}

In B E C, F is the centroid, and AC = 12. Find A F and F C
klemol [59]

bearing in mind that the centroid in a triangle cuts each of the three medians in a 2:1 ratio.

since we know that A C = 12, let's split it in a 2:1 ratio then, cleary from the picture the larger is F C, so F C : A F is on a 2:1 ratio.

\bf A C=A F+F C\qquad \qquad \cfrac{F C}{A F}=\cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4}{1\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{8}{4}

HELP LOOK AT THE PIC ( Write the number of the vertices) I FORGOT THIS SINCE YEARS AGO
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

3 vertices

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices are the "points" of a 2D figure. In this case, we see the 2D figure as a triangle. There are 3 points on the triangle, so there are 3 vertices.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

- 1 < x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6 < 2x - 4 < 4 \\  - 6 + 4 < 2x < 4 + 4 \\  - 2 < 2x < 8 \\  \frac{ - 2}{2}  < x <  \frac{8}{2}  \\  \purple{ \boxed{ \bold{ - 1 < x < 4}}}

Which two theorems would justify that m∠4 = m∠6, given that m∠5 = m∠6 in the diagram below?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: D) vertical angles theorem, alternate interior angles theorem

Angle 5 = Angle 6 by the alternate interior angles theorem

Angle 5 = angle 4 by the vertical angles theorem

By the transitive property, we can then say angle 4 = angle 6. These angles are also corresponding angles.

We won't use the angle addition theorem or the right angles theorem.
