What are the solutions of the equation (x - 6) (x - 8) =8

Mathematics
1 answer:
enot [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x=4  x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6) (x - 8) =8

We need to multiply out the left side

x^2 -8x -6x+48 = 8

x^2 -14x +48 = 8

Subtract 8 from each side

x^2 -14x +48-8 = 8-8

x^2 -14x+40 =0

We need to factor the left side.  What two numbers multiply to give 40 and add to give -14

-4*-10 = 40

-4+-10 = -14

(x-4) (x-10) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4=0  x-10 =0

x=4  x=10

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 3 ft.
Zigmanuir [339]

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of a circle

2×pi×r

area of a circle

pi×r²

r (radius) = diameter/2 = 1.5ft

we shall assume pi to be 3.14

circumference is

2×3.14×1.5 = 3.14×3 = 9.42 ft

area is

3.14 × 1.5² = 3.14×2.25 = 7.065 ft²

An obtuse triangle with area 12 has two sides of lengths 4 and 10. Find the length of the third side. (There are two answers.) (
mart [117]
This question can be solved using the Herons equation where 
A = SQRT [s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

A = area of the triangle
a, b and c are the sides of the triangle

s = (a+b+c)/2

Since we are given the area, we can express "s" as a function of the third side c. This can be substituted in the original equation so as to obtain an expression to solve for the third side c

s = (4+10+c)/2 = (14+c)/2

using the solver function of the calculator or MS Excel, the third side is 7.21 units
