Answer:

Maybe its SSS..

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure which choice it is but they are similar because corresponding sides are in the same ratio:

3/9 = 3/9 = 2/6

(We don't use this notation in the UK).

How can I factorise (2x cubed - 5x + 3) ?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

$2x^3-5x+3=2x^3-2x-3x+3\\\\=2x(x^2-1)-3(x-1)\\\\=2x\underbrace{(x^2-1^2)}_{use\ (*)}-3(x-1)\ \ \ |(*)\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=2x\underbrace{(x-1)}_{(**)}(x+1)-3\underbrace{(x-1)}_{(**)}\\\\=(x-1)[2x(x+1)-3]\\\\=(x-1)\underbrace{(2x^2+2x-3)}_{(***)}\\\\(***)\ 2x^2+2x-3\to a=2;\ b=2;\ c=-3\\\\x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$therefore\\x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4+24}}{4}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{28}}{4}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4\cdot7}}{4}=\frac{-2\pm2\sqrt7}{4}\\\\=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt7}{2}\\\\so,\ the\ answer:\\\\(x-1)\cdot2\left(x-\frac{-1-\sqrt7}{2}\right)\left(x-\frac{-1+\sqrt7}{2}\right)\\\\=\boxed{(x-1)(2x+1+\sqrt7)\left(x+\frac{1-\sqrt7}{2}\right)}=\boxed{\frac{1}{2}(x-1)(2x+1+\sqrt7)(2x+1-\sqrt7)}$

You can model an arch at your school using the equation y=−0.9(x+3)(x−3), where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis represe

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that, the arch meet the ground are the value of x when y = 0

y=−0.9(x+3)(x−3)

<=> 0 = −0.9(x+3)(x−3)

<=> x=3 or x=-3
