Step 1: x²-15=2x
step 2: x²-2x-15=0
step 3: (x-5)(x+3)=0
step 4: x-5=0 or x+3=0
step 5: x=5 of x=-3
Answer:
D) 40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the distance between the mall and the house. The figure formed is a right triangle. The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:
a² + b² = c²
The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
Take the square root of each side:
√289 = √(c²)
17 = c
This makes the total distance
15+8+17= 40 miles
Answer:
a) None
b) (0, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is the point at which the line cuts through the x-axis, while the y-intercept in the point at which the line cuts through the y-axis.
a) The line does not cut through the x-axis, thus it has no x-intercept.
b) The line cuts through the y-axis at y= -2, making its y-intercept (0, -2).
