Step-by-step explanation:
Use the difference of squares formula.
Answer:
8,9,10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x-1, x and x+1 be the consecutive integers
(x-1)(x+1) = 5x + 35
x² - 1 - 5x - 35 = 0
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
x² - 9x + 4x - 36= 0
x(x - 9) + 4(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0
x = 9, -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height = h
Let the base = 4h + 7
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h
Area = 93 square inches
1/2 * (4h + 7)* h = 93 Multiply both sides by 2
(4h + 7) * h = 93*2
(4h + 7)*h = 186 Remove the brackets
4h^2 + 7h = 186 Subtract 186 from both sides.
4h^2 + 7h - 186 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve
a = 4
b = 7
c = - 186
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(7^2 - 4*4*(-186) ) /2*4
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 - 16*(-186)) / 8
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 + 2976)) / 8
x1 = (-7 + sqrt(3025)) / 8
x1 = (-7 +55 ) / 8
x1 = (48)/8
x1 = 6
There is another root, but it has to be minus and therefore cannot be used as a length. x2 = - 7.75
h = 6
b = 4*6 + 7 = 31
Check
Area = 1/2 * b * h
Area = 1/2 * 31 * 6
Area = 1/2 *186
Area = 93 which is what we were given so the answer is correct.
To determine the fraction of her classmates with dogs as pets, we simply multiply the two given fractions based from the survey.
Pets = (2/3)(5/6) = 5/9
Thus, there are 5/9 of Ruby;s car.
