Answer: The area is 15 square units

Step-by-step explanation: It is helpful to sketch the coordinates on a graph to get an idea of what the triangle looks like so you can see which side will be the base, and where to get the height. You will see that AB is the hypotenuse, it is a right triangle, so AC can be the base and BC is the height.

Use the differences in x-values of points C & A to get the length of the base: 2-(-3) is 5

Use the differences in y-values of points B & C to get the height:

4-(-2) = 6

Area = bh/2

A = 5×6/2 = 30/2

A = 15 square unts

Find the value of x: 7e(×/3)=14

velikii [3]

<span>7e^(×/3)=14
</span><span>e^(×/3)=14/7
</span>e^(×/3)=2
take ln of both sides;
lne^(×/3)=ln2
****You should be familiar that lne^x=x as ln is the inverse function of e and vice versa****
then;
x/3=ln2
x=3ln2
x approximately is equal to 2.1

Please help solve this question with steps

Orlov [11]

39x^3 = 13*3*x*x*x

-6x^2 = 2*3*x*x*-1

-3x = 3*x*-1

so in all these factorizations, 3*x is common. so 3x is the common factor.

by seperating the common factor,

3x(13x^2 - 2x-1)

will be the factorization.

xy + 5x - 5y - 25

=x (y+5) -5 (y+5)
=(x-5) (y+5)

hope I helped ya!!!
