A painter is building scaffolding to paint the ceiling of a tall building. Each section of scaffolding is in the shape of a rect

angle and measures 8 feet wide by 17 feet long. The painter uses metal piping along the diagonal to secure the scaffolding. Which measurement is closest to the length of the diagonal piping?

20 points!!! Please Help<br><br> Does the equation x2 - 4x + y2 = -3 intersect the x-axis?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Yes, twice

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will intersect the x-axis when y = 0, so we have

x² - 4x = -3    now solve this quadratic for x...

  x² - 4x + 3 = 0    

factor...

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0,

so at x = 1 and x = 3, the function crosses the x-axis

2. Write a quadratic function that has -intercepts (- 3, 0) and (4, 0) and passes through the point (5, 8)
Reptile [31]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2-x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Function</u>

Standard Form of Quadratic Function

The standard representation of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a,b, and c are constants.

When the zeros of f (x1 and x2) are given, it can be written as:

f(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)

Where a is a constant called the leading coefficient.

We are given the two roots of f: x1=-3 and x2=4, thus:

f(x)=a(x+3)(x-4)

We also know that f(5)=8, thus:

f(5)=a(5+3)(5-4)=8

Operating:

a(8)(1)=8

Solving:

a=1

The function is:

f(x)=1(x+3)(x-4)

Operating:

\boxed{f(x)=x^2-x-12}

Which reason justifies step 2 in the proof
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ∠N≅∠S, line l bisects TR at Q.

To prove: ΔNQT≅ΔSQR

Proof:

From  ΔNQT and ΔSQR

It is given that:

∠N≅∠S (Given)

∠NQT≅∠SQR(Vertical opposite angles)

and TQ≅QR ( Definition of segment bisector)

Thus, by AAS rule,

ΔNQT≅ΔSQR

Hence proved.

Statement                                                 Reason

1. ∠N≅∠S                                                    given

2. ∠NQT≅∠SQR                            Vertical angles are congruent

3.  line l bisects TR at Q.                            given

4. TQ≅QR                                      Definition of segment bisector

5. ΔNQT≅ΔSQR                           AAS theorem

Hence proved.

Thus, option D is correct.

CIO and MAP are
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Measure of CIO = 30°

Measure of MAP = 150°

Complement of smaller angle = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that <CIO and <MAP are supplementary, therefore:

m<CIO + m<MAP = 180°

Let x be m<CIO

m<MAP = 5x

Thus:

x + 5x = 180

Solve for x

6x = 180

Divide both sides by 6

x = 30°

The smaller angle = m<CIO = x = 30°

The bigger angle = m<MAP) = 5x = 5(30) = 150°

Complement of the smaller angle = 90 - 30 = 60°
