According to the statement of the question, we have:
a/b = 3/4
<em>Note that according to the attached figure, </em><em>b > a</em><em>, then the correct proportion will be </em><em>a</em><em> to </em><em>3</em><em>, as well as </em><em>b</em><em> to </em><em>4</em><em>, because </em><em>b > a</em><em> and </em><em>4 > 3</em>
Isolating a and b:
a = 3b/4
b = 4a/3
From Pythagoras:
h² = a² + b² - as a = 3b/4 and b = 4a/3, so
<h3>b = 4h/5</h3><h3>a = 6h/5</h3>For Area:
A = b.a/2
as b = 4h/5 and a = 6h/5, so
<h3>A = 12h/25</h3>
Answer:
C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
We need to use the quadratic formula and the given expression to find the values of a, b, and c.
The quadratic formula is
Where the formula has -b, the problem has -2, so b = 2.
Now we have
ax^2 + 2x + c = 0
In the denominator, where the formula has 2a, the problem has 2(1), so a = 1.
Now we have
x^2 + 2x + c = 0
Inside the root, the quadratic formula has -4ac. the problem shows -4(1)(-4). Since we already know that a = 1, then c = -4.
Now we have
x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
Let's look at choice A.
x^2 + 1 = 2x - 3
Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 3 to both sides.
x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0 <em>This is not it!</em>
Let's look at choice B.
x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0 <em>This is not it!</em>
Let's look at choice C.
x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0 <em>This is it!</em>
Answer: C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
