Answer:

The only integer solution is n1=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the following equation applied to quadratic polynomials with the form an^{2}+bn+c=0:

n=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

For our case 2n^{2}-3n-2=0, a=2, b=-3, and c=-2, so:

n=\frac{-(-3)\±\sqrt{(-3)^{2}-(4*2*(-2))}}{2*2}

n=\frac{3\±\sqrt{9+16}}{4}

n=\frac{3\±5}{4}

n1=\frac{3+5}{4}=2

n2=\frac{3-5}{4}=-0.5

In conclusion, although there are 2 roots (n1, n2), only one of them is an integer, which is n1=2.

What is the length of the hypotenuse
Liula [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Hypotenuse: Pythagorean Theroem

a^2+ b^2= c^2

The legs are A and B

The side that is directly across from the Right angle is C

12^2 + 16^2 =C^2

144+256=400

400 = c^2

Square root on both sides to get rid of c^2

The square root of 400 is 20

c=20
