Minus 1 both sides
x²-8x=-1
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
-8 is the linear coefient
-8/2=-4, (-4)²=16
add 16 to both sides
x²-8x+16=16-1
factor perfect squaer trinomial
(x-4)²=15
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative roots
x-4=+/-√15
not exactly sure what to put in the blnaks
but
the solutions are x=4+√15 and x=4-√15
Answer:
52.48
Step-by-step explanation:
find the cross sectional area which is the triangle
triangle = 1/2 x 8.2 x 6.4 = 26.24
then, use the area to multiply by the extended length of 2
26.24 x 2 = 52.48
4 inches because its about 4 quarters long
10 + 9 = 19 its simple math
