There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.
15z² +17z - 18 =
d = 17² - 4.15.-18
d = 289 + 1080
d = 1369
z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15
z = (-17 + 37) : 30
z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3
z" = (-17 - 37) : 30
z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8

Answer:
D 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equal the product of the segments of the other.
x*4 = 6*8
4x = 48
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
For this case we have the following expression:

Rewriting the expression we have:
1) First we subtract the numbers within the parenthesis:

2) Then, we solve the exponents:

3) Then, multiplication:

4) Finally, the addition of numbers is made:

Answer:
the value of the expression is:
B: 29
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by using natural logs. Taking the natural log of both sides:

To undo the multiplication, we use addition:

The rule says we can now bring the exponent down in front of the ln:

Now we will subtract ln(7) from both sides:
(8x - 8)ln(16) = ln(3) - ln(7)
Now we will divide both sides by ln(16):
then add 8 to both sides:
which simplifies to
8x = 7.694401895 so
x = .9618002368 or, rounded,
x = .96
(Rest assured I did the math and checked the answer and it checked out perfectly!) I recommend you learn the laws of natural and common logs cuz they're kinda important!! :)
