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

From a train station, one train heads north, and another heads east. Some time later, the northbound train has traveled 12 miles
tigry1 [53]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The north and east distances form the legs of a right triangle. The straight-line distance between the trains is the hypotenuse of that triangle. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse (d).

  d² = 12² +16²

  d² = 144 +256 = 400

  d = √400 = 20

The two trains are 20 miles apart.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may recognize the given distances are in the ratio 3 : 4.  You may recall that side ratios of 3 : 4 : 5 make a right triangle. If so, you recognize that the straight-line distance is (4 miles)×5 = 20 miles. (3:4:5 right triangles show up often in algebra and geometry problems, so might be something you want to look for.)
