The two at the top technically means how many times the number in the bracket times ITSELF by, so its technically -3 x -3 which is +9 , cause a negative x negative = positive

$(-3)^{2} is the same as;$
(-3)*(-3)

Answer:

AB = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the secant- secant theorem, that is

PA × PB = PD × PC , substitute values

10(10 + AB) = 8(8 + 7)

100 + 10AB = 8 × 15 = 120 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

10AB = 20 ( divide both sides by 10 )

AB = 2

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

How would you solve the equation y-5=m(x-2)

Helga [31]

One equation with 3 variables cannot be solved in the sense that you can find "the" 3 values for x, y and m. You can observe that this equation represents a family of straight lines with varying slope (depending on m).
