Answer:

The values of x which would give an area of 240m² would be:

x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The base of triangle b = 2x+1

The height of triangle h = 6x-3

The Area of the triangle A = 240 m²

The Area of the triangle has the formula

A = 1/2 × b × h

substituting b = 2x+1, h = 6x-3 and A = 240

240\:=\:\frac{1}{2}\:\left(2x+1\right)\:\times \left(6x-3\right)

480=\left(2x+1\right)\left(6x-3\right)

480=12x^2-3

Subtract 480 from both sides

12x^2-3-480=480-480

12x^2-483=0

3\left(4x^2-161\right)=0

3\left(2x+\sqrt{161}\right)\left(2x-\sqrt{161}\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

2x+\sqrt{161}=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:2x-\sqrt{161}=0

solving

2x+\sqrt{161}=0

2x=-\sqrt{161}

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-\sqrt{161}}{2}

x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}

also solving

2x-\sqrt{161}=0

2x=\sqrt{161}

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}

x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}

Therefore, the values of x which would give an area of 240m² would be:

x=-\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{161}}{2}

g100num [7]

Answer:

24x^2 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

C=4x -2

D=x + 5x

(4x - 2) * (x +5x)

4x^2 + 20x^2 - 2x - 10x

=24x^2 - 12x

U = 6i – 10j<br> g= -81 – 11j<br> Find: -3u + 5g
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

-3u + 5g =-58i -25j

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

u = 6i - 10j

g=-8i - 11j

Required

-3u + 5g

We have:

-3u + 5g

This gives:

-3u + 5g = -3(6i - 10j) + 5(-8i - 11j)

Open bracket

-3u + 5g = -18i + 30j - 40i - 55j

Collect like terms

-3u + 5g = -18i - 40i+ 30j  - 55j

-3u + 5g =-58i -25j

1620 because 5832 is 18 to the 3rd power which means that because it is a cube 18 to the second power will be able to find the base which 324 ft^2, multiplying that by 5 dollar gets 1,620 dollars

HELPPPPP PLZZZZ<br> What real number a and b make the equation true?<br> (a-3)+(b+8)i=3-4i
Radda [10]

Answer:

a= 6

b= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

In complex number algebra, you need to sum the real values with each others and the imaginary values with each others.

In order to determine which number is a real value and which one is an imaginary, we must expand the parenthesis terms:

(a-3) + (b+8)i =a - 3 + bi + 8i = 3 - 4i

Now we match real numbers with real numbers and imaginary numbers with imaginary numbers:

a - 3 = 3\\a= 3 - (-3) = 6\\\\b + 8 = -4 \\b= -4 -8 = -12\\
