Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is bisecting the baseline (cutting it in 2 halves of 6).

the third angle in the main overall triangle is 60 degrees.

remember, all angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

so, 180 - 60 - 60 = 60.

that means that all 3 angles are of equal size (60). and that means that all 3 sides must have the same length.

=> y = 12

and now using Pythagoras to calculate the height (x) of the triangle :

y² = x² + 6² (remember, this side is only half the baseline)

12² = x² + 6²

144 = x² + 36

x² = 108

x = sqrt(108) = sqrt(36×3) = 6×sqrt(3)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -4) and (7, 4)?

Andrews [41]

The correct option is: Option (C) 2

Explanation:

The slope formula is = m = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Insert the values in the above formula:

m = $\frac{4 - (-4)}{7 - 3} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

Which is Option (C).

How does the measure of the pink inscribed angle compare with the measure of the blue intercepted arc? How do you know?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The pink angle is half the angle subtended by the blue arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for circle

Required

Compare the pink angle to the blue arc

Let the pink angle be x and the angle subtended by the blue arc be y.

So, we have:

$x \to$ angle at circumference

$y \to$ angle subtended by arc

The relationship between x and y is:

$y =2x$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{1}{2}y$

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the graph of f(x) = x2 - 4x + 3, has roots. From the graph we can see that it h

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The graph $f(x)=x^2-4x+3$ has two zeros namely 3 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given equation of graph $f(x)=x^2-4x+3$

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

For a given polynomial of degree n can have a maximum of n roots.

Thus, for the given equation $f(x)=x^2-4x+3$ the degree of polynomial is 2 , thus the function can have maximum of 2 roots.

We know at roots the value of function is 0 that is f(x) = 0,

Substitute f(x) = 0 , we get, $f(x)=x^2-4x+3=0$

This is a quadratic equation, $x^2-4x+3=0$

We first solve it manually and then check by plotting graph.

Quadratic equation can be solved using middle term splitting method,

here, -4x can be written as -x-3x,

$x^2-4x+3=0 \Rightarrow x^2-x-3x+3=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-1)-3(x-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-3)(x-1)=0$

Using zero product property, $a\cdot b=0 \Rightarrow a=0\ or \ b=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-3)=0$ or $\Rightarrow (x-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=3$ or $\Rightarrow x=1$

Thus, the two zero of f(x) are 3 and 1.

We can also see on graph attached below that the graph $f(x)=x^2-4x+3$ has two zeros namely 3 and 1.
