Answer:
x = -1 and x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>What are the solutions of the equation (x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.</em>
<em />
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0 -------------------------------------------------------(1)
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;
let u = x-3
we will replace x-3 by u in the given equation:
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0
u² + 2u -8 = 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------(2)
We will now solve the above quadratic equation
find two numbers such that its product gives -8 and its sum gives 2
The two numbers are 4 and -2
That is; 4×-2 = -8 and 4+(-2) = 2
we will replace 2u by (4u -2u) in equation (2)
u² + 2u -8 = 0
u² + 4u - 2u -8 = 0
u(u+4) -2(u+4) = 0
(u+4)(u-2) = 0
Either u + 4 = 0
u = -4
or
u-2 = 0
u = 2
Either u = -4 or u = 2
But u = x-3
x = u +3
when u = -4
x = u + 3
x = -4 + 3
x=-1
when u = 2
x = u + 3
x = 2 + 3
x=5
Therefore, x = -1 and x =5
x
Answer:
86.53
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers
If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find <em>h</em> using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:
3² + b² = 29²
b² = 29² - 3²
b = √832 = h
Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:
A = 1/2(√832)(6)
A = 3√832
A = 86.5332
1/2x+20=1/3x+30
Subtract 20 on both sides
1/2x=1/3x+10
Subtract 1/3x on both sides
1/6x=10
Multiply by 6 on both sides
X=60
