Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change .
But the bicycle craze had a more lasting impact on women’s clothing than just the use of bloomers. Thanks in large part to cycling, the innovation of rational dress reformers were starting to take effect by the end of the 1890s. Corsets were on their way out, dresses were getting shorter, and women no longer wore the heavy, bulky undergarments that gave them round, unnatural shapes. These changes went a long way toward unburdening women and setting the stage for them to be healthier and more active in the coming century.
Based on the excerpt, women in the 1890s became more independent and their lives improved as a result of
a rise in the popularity of bicycles.
a rise in the popularity of corsets.
cycling becoming less socially acceptable.
clothing becoming more restrictive.
Step-by-step explanation:
in isoscles triangles two angles and lengths are equal .
two sides equal 3.5
so both of the angles are 55°
the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so
x = 180° - 55° - 55°
x = 70° (Ans)
