Answer:

x=5, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

set the equation equal to 0: 2x^2-8x-10=0

divide both sides by 2 to get x^2-4x-5=0

next factor your new equation to get (x+1)(x-5)

set those equal to zero

now you have x+1=0 and x-5=0

finally, solve for x by subtracting 1 and adding 5

now you have your answer x= 5 and -1

1. A (-4,2), B (-6,3), C (-4,6), D (1,4) 2. A (-4,-4), B (-6,-3), C (-4,0), D (-1,2) 3. (this part depends more on what your teacher wants for you) the quadrilateral flips over the y-axis and moves 6 down. hope this helps!

Given: KL ║ NM , LM = 45, m∠M = 50° KN ⊥ NM , NL ⊥ LM Find: KN and KL

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08\\ \\KN=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

KL ║ NM ,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

KN ⊥ NM

NL ⊥ LM

Find: KN and KL

1. Consider triangle NLM. This is a right triangle, because NL ⊥ LM. In this triangle,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

So,

$\tan \angle M=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}=\dfrac{NL}{LM}=\dfrac{NL}{45}\\ \\NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

Also

$m\angle LNM=90^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$ (angles LNM and M are complementary).

2. Consider triangle NKL. This is a right triangle, because KN ⊥ NM . In this triangle,

$NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

$m\angle KLN=m\angle LNM=40^{\circ}$ (alternate interior angles)

$m\angle KNL=90^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ (angles KNL and KLN are complementary).

So,

$\sin \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KL}{LN}=\dfrac{KL}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08$

and

$\cos \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KN}{LN}=\dfrac{KN}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KN=45\tan 50^{\circ}\cos 50^{\circ}=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$
