Answer:

x = - 7, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since

7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

(05.01)Which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle in the figure below?
Marina86 [1]

Equation of shaded triangle is \frac{1}{2} (14\times8).

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = 14 ft

Breadth of the rectangle = 8 ft

Area of the rectangle = length × breadth

                                    = 14 × 8

In this rectangle the diagonal splits the rectangle into two equal halves.

Area of the shaded triangle = Half of area of rectangle

                                              $=\frac{1}{2} (14\times8)

Area of the shaded triangle = \frac{1}{2} (14\times8)

Hence the equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded

triangle is \frac{1}{2} (14\times8).

A 15-foot log is split into 2 pieces. How long are the pieces if the longest piece is 1.5ft shorter than two of the shorter piec
Allisa [31]

Answer:

8.25 ft & 6.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know it's split into two pieces, right? So normally that would be 7.5 ft each. But one is 1.5 ft longer than the other. So as a result, I divided that by 2 to add 0.75 ft to piece one and subtract 0.75 ft from piece two's length. So, the longer piece is 8.25 ft, and the shorter one is 6.75 ft.
