Answer:

16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.

Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.

24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle

Solve by completing the square. Round<br> x^2-4x=5
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: -1 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4x = 5 : Move the constant to the left.

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0 : Rewrite the expression.

x^2 + x - 5x - 5 = 0 : Factor the expressions.

x(x+1) - 5(x+1) = 0 : Factor the expression.

(x+1)(x-5) = 0 : Seperate into possible cases.

x + 1 = 0, x - 5 = 0 : Solve the equations.

x = -1, x = 5 : The equation has 2 solutions.

Write the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that contains the points (-1,-2) and (1,2)
Bad White [126]
Slope intercept is y=mx+b
m=slope
slope if found by
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
(x,y)
(-1,-2) and
(1,2)
x1=-1
y1=-2
x2=1
y2=2


m=(-1-1)/(-2-2)
m=-2/-4
m=1/2


y=1/2x+b
solve fo by subsituting one x value
(1,2)
x=1
y=2
2=1/2(1)+b
2=1/2+b
subtract 1/2
3/2=b


equation is
y=1/2x+3/2
