Answer:

-23.18, -0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

h² + 24h + 19 = 0
h²+2h*12+12²-125=0
(h+12)²-√125²=0
(h+12+11.18)(h+12-11.18)=0
(h+23.18)(h+0.82)=0
h+23.18=0 ⇒ h= -23.18
h+0.82=0 ⇒ h= -0.82

Answer:

-23.18, -.82

Step-by-step explanation:

h^2 + 24h + 19 = 0

Subtract 19 from each side

h^2 +24h = -19

Take the coefficient of h

Divide by 2

24/2 =12

Square it

12^2 =144

Add this to both sides

h^2 +24h+144 = -19+144

(h+12)^2 =125

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((h+12)^2) =±sqrt(125)

h+12 = ±sqrt(125)

Subtract 12 from each side

h+12-12 = -12 ±sqrt(125)

h =-12 ±sqrt(125)

h = -12 - sqrt(125) = -23.18033989

h = -12 + sqrt(125) = -.819660113

To the nearest hundredth

-23.18, -.82

Question 18

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=-7$ has a slope of $0$ , since it is a horizontal line. The only types of lines that are perpendicular to horizontal lines are vertical lines, which are usually in the form $x=a$ (where $a$ is any real number). Vertical lines have an undefined slope, so the answer is undefined. Hope this helps!
