Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Need help please assist me find the area of a regular hexagon
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The area of the regular hexagon is 166.3\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a regular hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles

so

step 1

Find the area of one equilateral triangle

A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)

we have

b=r=8\ units

h=4\sqrt{3}\ units ----> is the apothem

substitute

A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})

A=16\sqrt{3}\ units^{2}

step 2

Find the area of 6 equilateral triangles

A=(6)16\sqrt{3}=96\sqrt{3}=166.3\ units^{2}

What is 24% as a growth and decay factor
Lisa [10]

Answer:

When given a percentage of growth or decay, determined the growth/decay factor by adding or subtracting the percent, as a decimal, from 1. In general if r represents the growth or decay factor as a decimal then: b = 1 - r Decay Factor. b = 1 + r Growth Factor. A decay of 20% is a decay factor of 1 - 0.20 = 0.
