Answer: 76 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 side length +base length

40 = 2s +12

Solving for s:

40-12 =2s

28 =2s

28/2=s

14ft =side

Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)

Replacing with the values given:  

14^2= 6^2 + x^2

196 = 36 + x^2

196-36 = x^2

160 = x^2

√160 = x

x = 12.64 (height)

Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height  

A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2

2x^2=4+6x<br> Show your work please
Furkat [3]

Answer: x = 3 - sqrt 17 / 2 , x = 3 + sqrt 17 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 = 4 + 6x

divide both sides by 2

x^2 = 2 + 3x

move expression to the left

x^2 - 2 - 3x = 0

reorder the terms

x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

use the quadratic formula

x = - (-3) +- sqrt (-3)^2 - 4 x (-2) / 2 x 1

calculate

x = 3 +- sqrt 17 / 2

answer

x = 3 - sqrt 17 / 2 , x = 3 + sqrt 17 / 2

Use the quadratic model y=-4x^2-3x+4 to predict y if x equals 5.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

y = - 111

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 5 into the quadratic for y

y = - 4(5)² - 3(5) + 4 = - 100 - 15 + 4 = - 111

Answer:

Slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points, (-4, 10) and (0, 2), the error in the given problem is the incorrect substitution of values into the formula. It should have been formatted as follows:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 10)

    (x₂, y₂) = (0, 2)

The formula for solving for the slope of the line is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

where <em>m</em><em> </em>represents the <u>slope</u> of the line.

Substitute the given values into the formula to solve for the slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = \frac{2 - 10}{0 - (-4)}

m = \frac{-8}{0  + 4 }

m = -8/4

m = -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2.
