Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
So I'm going to use vieta's formula.
Let u and v the zeros of the given quadratic in ax^2+bx+c form.
By vieta's formula:
1) u+v=-b/a
2) uv=c/a
We are also given not by the formula but by this problem:
3) u+v=uv
If we plug 1) and 2) into 3) we get:
-b/a=c/a
Multiply both sides by a:
-b=c
Here we have:
a=3
b=-(3k-2)
c=-(k-6)
So we are solving
-b=c for k:
3k-2=-(k-6)
Distribute:
3k-2=-k+6
Add k on both sides:
4k-2=6
Add 2 on both side:
4k=8
Divide both sides by 4:
k=2
Let's check:
:


I'm going to solve
for x using the quadratic formula:







Let's see if uv=u+v holds.

Keep in mind you are multiplying conjugates:



Let's see what u+v is now:


We have confirmed uv=u+v for k=2.
Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.
You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:
ft.
Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
Answer:
-7+12 will also give u 5 with a positive sign
Answer:
A (a = 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A coordinate point is always in the form (x,y) that means the first point is always x-coordinate and the second point is always y-coordinate.
The equation given is:
5x + y = 8
The point is (a,3), so that means x = a and y = 3
We substitute the values into the equation and find a. Shown below:
5x + y = 8
5(a) + (3) = 8
5a + 3 = 8
5a = 8 - 3
5a = 5
a = 5/5
a = 1
Answer choice A is right
