The answer is: x = 7 - √53      or      x = 7 + √53

The general quadratic equation is: ax² + bx + c  = 0.
But, by completing the square we turn it into: a(x + d)² + e = 0, where:<span>
d = b/2a
e = c - b²/4a
Our quadratic equation is x² - 14x -4 = 0, which is after rearrangement:
So, a = 1, b = -14, c = -4
Let's first calculate d and e:
d = b/2a = -14/2*1 = -14/2 = -7
e = c - b²/4a = -4 - (-14)</span>²/4*1 = -4 - 196/4 = -4 - 49 = -53<span>
By completing the square we have:
a(x + d)² + e = 0

1(x + (-7))</span>² + (-53) = 0
(x - 7)² - 53 = 0
(x - 7)² = 53
x - 7 = +/-√53
x = 7 +/- √53

Therefore, the solutions are:
x = 7 - √53
or
x = 7 + √53

Help<br> 1<br> A /<br> 7 (x + 2) -5 = 30
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7(x + 2) - 5 = 30 ( add 5 to both sides )

7(x + 2) = 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 3

Use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

lateral area ≈ 668  m²

surface area ≈ 740 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area of a triangular prism = perimeter of the base × height of the prism

lateral area = ph

where

p = perimeter of the base

h = height or altitude

Base edges are 8m , 9m and 12.04m and height is 23 m.

lateral area = ph

lateral area = (8 + 9 + 12.04) × 23

lateral area = 29.04 × 23

lateral area = 667.92  m²

lateral area ≈ 668 m²

Surface area

surface area = lateral area + 2B

where

B = area of it triangular bases

surface area = lateral area + 2B

surface area = 667.92   + 2(1/2 × base × height)

surface area = 667.92  + 2(1/2 × 8 × 9)

surface area = 667.92  + 2(1/2 × 72)

surface area = 667.92  + 2(36)

surface area = 667.92  + 72

surface area = 739.92  

surface area ≈ 740 m²

Answer:

B) Associative Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property states you can change where the parentheses (grouping terms) are in a multiplication statement, and you'll get the same product.

More generally:

(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
