Example:
This suggests two solutions,
and
.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get
which checks out, but
does not because
is defined only for
(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call
an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is
.
Answer:
The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 numbers required are 13*8 and 14 * 8
that is 104 and 117
A chord is a line segment that connects any two points on a circle.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle, which fits the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 +b^2 = c^2. The variables a, b, and c all are sides of the triangle, while a and b are the two legs and c is the hypothenuse.
In this problem, we see that 6 and x are the legs and 10 is the hypothenuse. We put 6 as "a" and x as "b" (but it doesn't matter which is a and b) and 10 is c. Therefore, we have the equation:
6^2 + x^2 = 10^2
which further simplifies to:
36 + x^2 = 100
x^2 = 64
and so x would equal 8 (or -8, but it is impossible to have a side length of -8).
Therefore, the missing side is 8.
