X² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
The factors are ...
x - 3
x + 2
Answer:
second: (2.2,-1.4)
third: (2.2,-1.35)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (2x-2)^2
FOIL (x+2)^2 = x^2 +2x+2x+4 = x^2 +4x+4
FOIL (2x-2)^2 = 4x^2 -4x -4x+4 = 4x^2 -8x+4
Replacing these in to the equation
x^2 +x^2 +4x+4 = 4x^2 -8x+4
Combine like terms
2x^2 +4x +4 = 4x^2 -8x +4
Subtract 4 from each side
2x^2 +4x +4-4 = 4x^2 -8x +4-4
2x^2 +4x = 4x^2 -8x
Subtract 2x^2 from each side
2x^2 -2x^2+4x = 4x^2-2x^2 -8x
4x = 2x^2 -8x
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x = 2x^2 -8x-4x
0 = 2x^2 -12x
Factor out a 2x
0 = 2x(x-6)
Using the zero product property
2x =0 x-6 =0
x =0 x-6+6 = 0+6
x = 0 c=6
it is unreasonable because 4.23 is bigger than 4.135! Look at the 10s place - 1 is smaller than 2, and everything afterwards is irrelevant. There could be as many zeros or any combination of numbers you want, but as long as that tens place is larger (2 vs 1), than it's not reasonable to say 4.2 is smaller!!
Answer:
A proportion is an equality of two ratios.
...
Things to remember
Determine whether the ratio is part to part or part to whole.
Calculate the parts and the whole if needed.
Plug values into the ratio.
Simplify the ratio if needed. Integer-to-integer ratios are preferred.
