The student messed up on step one. The proper factoring is (x-4) (x+2)

Answer:

B. in step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a student performed the following steps to find the solution of the quadratic equation x^2-2x-8=0.

Step 1: Factor the polynomial into (x-4) and (x-2).

Step 2: x-4=0 and x-2=0

Step 3: x=4 and x=2.

Now we need to find about which step has the error.

let's multiply (x-4) and (x-2)

we get : (x-4)(x-2)=x^2-4x-2x+8=x^2-8x+8

While original problem has -8 as the last term. So that means factors are wrong.

Hence choice B. in step 1. is correct

The Area of Shaded region is equal to the difference in Area of rectangle and Area of triangle .

let's solve for area of rectangle :

➢ \:  \: length \times width

\longrightarrow8 \times 3x

\longrightarrow24x

Now, Area of Triangle :

➢ \:  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times base \times height

\longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 4 \times x

\longrightarrow2x

So, the area of the shaded region in terms of x :

\longrightarrow24x  - 2x

\longrightarrow22x

And since, Area of Shaded region = 44 cm²

By equating the area, we get

\large \boxed{ \boxed{22x  = 44}}

Value of x = 2

A ladder is leaning up against a 17 foot Wall at an angle of elevation of 37°. How far is the foot of the latter from the wall?
inn [45]
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
