Use the zero product property to find the POSSIBLE solutions to the equation x2 – 9 = 16.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  x = -5 or +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 16 and factor.

  x^2 -9 = 16 . . . . . given

  x^2 -25 = 0 . . . . subtract 16; the difference of squares

  (x -5)(x +5) = 0 . . . . the factored form

The zero product property says possible solutions are found where the factors are zero.

<u>For (x -5) = 0</u>

  x -5 = 0

  x = 5 . . . . . add 5

<u>For (x +5) = 0</u>

  x +5 = 0

  x = -5 . . . . . subtract 5

Possible solutions are x=-5 or x=5.

If the width and length of a rectangle are both increased by 10%, by what percent does the area of the rectangle increase?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Perimeter of rectangle

= 2 (Length + Width)

If width and length are increased by 10%

New length= L + 10/100L = (1.1) L

New width = W + 10/100W = (1.1) W

Perimeter = 2 [(1.1) L + (1.1) W]

Perimeter = 2 (1.1) (L + W)

Perimeter = (2.2) (L + W)

Increase in perimeter = 2.2 (L + W) - 2 (L + W)

The increase in Perimeter = 0.2 (L + W)

Percent increase

= 0.2 (L + W)/2 (L + W) × 100

= 0.2/2 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

SEE IMAGE! Which of the following expressions is equal to the value of x?
Virty [35]

Answer:

A) 0.9(sin50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use

sin a = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin 50 = x /.9

Multiply each side by .9

.9 * sin 50 = x/.9 * .9

.9 (sin 50) = x

4,5,6 I need help on
goldfiish [28.3K]
Answers:

Median: The only median is the segment JG

Altitude: There are two altitudes. They are segment JG and KF

Angle Bisector: There is only one angle bisector and it is segment JG

--------------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

The median is a segment that goes from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Only one segment fits this description and it is segment JG

An altitude is a segment that goes from a vertex to the opposite side, and it is perpendicular to the opposite side (perpendicular is shown with square angle markers). Two segments fit this description which are JG and KF. It is possible for a median to also be an altitude. In this case, triangle KJL is an isosceles triangle (KJ = JL)

Angle bisectors cut a given angle into two equal or congruent halves. The segment JG fits this description. It is possible for a segment to be a median, altitude, and angle bisector.

Side Note: the segment EL is neither a median, nor an altitude, nor an angle bisector.
