Ignacio and Kirsten want to find out if the triangle formed by connecting (-1,-1). (-3,2), and (2, 1) is a right triangle Ignaci

o's plan: . Use the distance formula to find the lengths of the sides. • Then see if the side lengths satisfy the equation a2 + b2 = c2 to see if it is a right triangle Kirsten's plan: • Find the slopes of the three sides. • See if any two slopes are negative reciprocals of each other Which student's plan will work?

2. Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer to paint a room. If they work together, they can complete the job in 4 hours. Explai

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

Rates

The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.

We have that:

Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.

Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).

The together rate is 1/4. So

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{15+x}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + x + x}{x(15+x)}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + 2x}{x(15+x)}$

Applying cross multiplication.

$x^2 + 15x = 4(15 + 2x)$

$x^2 + 15x = 60 + 8x$

$x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0$

Quadratic equation with $a = 1, b = 7, c = -60$ . So

$\Delta = 7^{2} - 4*1*60 = 289$

$x_{1} = \frac{-7 + \sqrt{289}}{2} = 5$

$x_{2} = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{289}}{2} = -12$

Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

estamos construyendo una carretera que enlace los puntos a = 12 ,21 y b =(17,23) otro punto se encuentra en c =(3,9) es posible

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

we are building a road that links the points a = (12 ,21) and b =(17,23) another point is in c =(3,9) it is possible that a single road allows to join these three points?

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope ab

we have

a = (12 ,21) and b =(17,23)

substitute

$m=\frac{23-21}{17-12}$

$m=\frac{2}{5}$

step 2

Find the slope ac

we have

a = (12 ,21) and c =(3,9)

substitute

$m=\frac{9-21}{3-12}$

$m=\frac{-12}{-9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{4}{3}$

step 3

Compare slopes ab and ac

The slopes are different

That means ----> is not possible that a single road allows to join these three points

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

each page holds 7 discs. the alb holds 700 discs. that means there are 100 pages. 69% of the pages are empty so therefore 41 pages are filled.
