Answer:

x = 1 , 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The given equation is as follows:

                          y = x^2 - 8x + 7

- We can solve the above equation by either making factors or by using Quadratic formula.

Factor Approach:

- Using the constant "7" at the end of the quadratic equation we will determine two integer multiples such that their additions/subtraction results in "-8".

- So the only factor of "7" are:

                        7 x 1 = 7

                       -7 x -1 = 7

- We see that addition/subtraction of first (7 , 1 ) does not results in "-8", However, the sum of ( -1 , -7 ) = -1 - 7 = -8. So the correct factors are ( -1 , -7 ). So we replace "-8x" with our factors "-1x" and "-7x":

                       x^2 -x -7x + 7 = 0

- Take common multiples out of pair of two terms:

                        x*(x-1) -7*(x-1) = 0

                        (x-7)*(x-1) = 0

- So we equate each term in bracket with "0" and evaluate the values of x:

                        (x-7) = 0  , x = 7

                        (x-1) = 0   , x = 1

- So the solution to the quadratic equation is:

                        x = 1 , 7

Prove ABC~EDC ?
erastova [34]

Answer:

AA similarity theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity</u> states that  In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar

In this problem we have that

∠BCA=∠ECD ----> by vertical angles

∠BAC=∠DEC ---> because AB is parallel to ED (alternate interior angles)

therefore

Triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AA similarity theorem

A cylinder-shaped drainage pipe 66 in. long measures 25.12 in. around.
Darina [25.2K]
V=hpir^2

tricky, they didn't give us radius
they just gave circiufmerece

c=2pir
25.12=2pir
divide by 2 both sides
12.56=pir
divide by 3.14 both sides
4=r

subsitutet

v=hpir^2
v=66pi4^2
v=66pi16
v=1056pi

Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37^x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start.
Rainbow [258]

The solution of the given exponential equation is 0.688.

Given that Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37ˣ = 12.

An exponential equation is an exponential equation where the power (or)  part of the exponent is a variable.

firstly, we have to slve this equation is by converting it to logarithmic form. Any exponential equation can be transformed into an equivalent logarithmic equation as follows:

aˣ = y

logₐy = x

Now, we will apply this transformation to our equation and we get

log₃₇12=x

Further, we will apply the change of base formula so that solution is written in terms of base 10 logs:

x=log12/log37

So, this is an exact answer to given equation, but we can simplify it further by using decimal approximation of it using a calculator. Remember that these logs are base 10:

x≈1.079/1.568

x=0.688

Hence, the solution of the given exponential equation 37ˣ=12 is 0.688.
