Answer:
C, 20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that both angles QRS and QTR are 90 degrees. In addition, angles SQR and RQT are equivalent (because they're both angle Q).
By AA Similarity, we know that triangle QTR is similar to triangle QRS.
With this similarity in mind, we can look at the ratios of corresponding lengths to set up a proportion. QR from triangle QTR is the hypotenuse, and it corresponds to hypotenuse QS from triangle QRS. So, we can write the ratio x/(9 + 16) = x/25.
Now, we see that long leg QT of triangle QTR corresponds to long leg QR of triangle QRS. So, another ratio we can write is: 16/x.
Finally, we set these two ratios equal to each other:

Cross-multiplying, we get:
.
Thus, x =
. The answer is C, 20 units.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
s=-14
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 = s+6 Given
-14 = s Subtract 6 from both sides
4b²+20b+25=0
Divide everything by 4
b²+5b+ 6.25=0
use the quadratic formula
x= (-b+ or - √b²-4ac) /2a
x= (-5 + or - √5²-4*1*6.25) /2(1)
x= -5/2 so
in this case, b= -5/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the quadratic function (x-intercepts) are
x=-1 and x=5/3
so
we can write the equation of the parabola as

where
a is a coefficient
Remember that
The parabola pass through the point (5,40)
substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the quadratic equation and solve for a
x=5, y=40



substitute

apply distributive property
