What is the length of line PS

PQ^2 = PR \times PS

(4x + 4)^2 = (3x + 3)(3x + 3 + 21)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= (3x + 3)(3x + 24)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= 9x^2 + 81x + 72

7x^2 - 49x- 56 = 0

7(x^2 - 7x - 8)= 0

(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0

x - 8 = 0~~~or~~~x + 1 = 0

x = 8~~~or~~~x = -1

x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.

x = 8

PS = 3x + 3 + 21

PS = 3x + 24

PS = 3(8) + 24

PS = 24 + 24

PS = 48

If f(x) = 2x6 + 3x5 – 1, then what is the remainder when f(x) is divided by<br> x + 1?
Alchen [17]
<h3>Answer:   -2</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We use the remainder theorem. This is the idea where if we divide P(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is P(k).

Comparing x+1 to x-k shows that k = -1

It might help to rewrite x+1 as x-(-1) to get it into the form x-k better.

Plug this k value into the function

f(x) = 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 3(-1)^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(1) + 3(-1) - 1

f(-1) = 2 - 3 - 1

f(-1) = -1 - 1

f(-1) =-2

The remainder is -2

We can confirm this through synthetic division or polynomial long division.

Thethree sides of a triangle measure 810 and 12 units is this a right angle?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The given triangle is NOT A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the three given sides of the triangle are:

8 units, 10 units and 12 units

Now, for any triangle to be a right angle:

by the PYTHAGORAS THEOREM:

(Base)^2 + (Perpendicular)^2  = (Hypotenuse)^2

The longest of all sides id the hypotenuse.

⇒ H  = 12 units

Let us assume, B = 8 units, P = 10 units

Now, here checking the condition:

(8)^2  + (10)^2  = 64  + 100  = 164  \neq (12)^2  = 144\\\implies (B)^2  + (P)^2  \neq (H)^2

Hence, the given triangle is NOT A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE.

How do you do this I have no idea and this thing has to be 20 characters long so all right
Ronch [10]
-3(5/6)v - 1 = -6(3/4)

To start off, we can simplify by multiplying the fractions with their whole numbers.

-15/6x - 1 = -18/4

Further simplify

-5/2x - 1 = -9/2

Now we can multiply everything times 2 to get rid of the fractions

-5x - 2 = -9

Now we will isolate the x value. Add 2 to both sides.

-5x = -7

Finally, divide all by -5 to get the final answer.

x = 7/5

Hope I helped you out!
