A triangle has sides with lengths of 43 millimeters, 52 millimeters, and 65 millimeters. Is it a right triangle

1 answer:

Use pythagora's theorem to test if it is a right triangle

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
65^2 = 52^2 + 43^2
4225 = 2704 + 1849
4225 =/= 4553
therefore it is not a right triangle as it does not comply to pythagora's theorem

Answer:

x = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x = 180° - (90 + 42)° = 180° - 132° = 48°

Solve the equation by graphing. If exact roots cannot be found, state the consecutive integers between which the roots are locat

Answer:

The equation contains exact roots at x = -4 and x = -1.

See attached image for the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by noticing that the expression on the left of the equal sign is a quadratic with leading term $x^2$ , which means that its graph shows branches going up. Therefore:

1) if its vertex is ON the x axis, there would be one solution (root) to the equation.

2) if its vertex is below the x-axis, it is forced to cross it at two locations, giving then two real solutions (roots) to the equation.

3) if its vertex is above the x-axis, it will not have real solutions (roots) but only non-real ones.

So we proceed to examine the vertex's location, which is also a great way to decide on which set of points to use in order to plot its graph efficiently:

We recall that the x-position of the vertex for a quadratic function of the form $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ is given by the expression: $x_v=\frac{-b}{2a}$

Since in our case $a=1$ and $b=5$ , we get that the x-position of the vertex is: $x_v=\frac{-b}{2a} \\x_v=\frac{-5}{2(1)}\\x_v=-\frac{5}{2}$

Now we can find the y-value of the vertex by evaluating this quadratic expression for x = -5/2:

$y_v=f(-\frac{5}{2})\\y_v=(-\frac{5}{2} )^2+5(-\frac{5}{2} )+4\\y_v=\frac{25}{4} -\frac{25}{2} +4\\\\y_v=\frac{25}{4} -\frac{50}{4}+\frac{16}{4} \\y_v=-\frac{9}{4}$

This is a negative value, which points us to the case in which there must be two real solutions to the equation (two x-axis crossings of the parabola's branches).

We can now continue plotting different parabola's points, by selecting x-values to the right and to the left of the $x_v=-\frac{5}{2}$ . Like for example x = -2 and x = -1 (moving towards the right) , and x = -3 and x = -4 (moving towards the left.
