<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Quadratic Formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

x² - 7x - 8

Could someone please draw the triangle based off of this description
Alex_Xolod [135]

The altitudes of equal length, BE and CF gives AB = AC, from which we have;

  • ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle

<h3>How can the RHS rule be used to indicate an isosceles triangle?</h3>

From the given description, we have;

BE = CF

<CFB = <BEC = 90° All right angles are congruent

BC = BC by reflexive property of congruency

BC = The hypotenuse side of triangles ∆BFC and ∆CEB

Therefore;

∆BFC is congruent to ∆CEB by Right angle Hypotenuse Side, RHS, rule of congruency.

Therefore;

BF = CE by Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

Similarly, we have;

∆AEB is congruent to ∆AFC, by Side-Angle-Angle, SAA, rule of congruency

Which gives;

FA = AE by CPCTC

BF + FA = CE + AE, by substitution property of equality

BF + FA = AB

CE + AE = AC

Therefore;

  • AB = AC

Therefore;

  • ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle

What is the equation of this trend line?<br><br> Enter your answers by filling in the boxes.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

k=-2j+24

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points from the graph

(0,24) and (6,12)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{k2-k1}{j2-j1}

substitute

m=\frac{12-24}{6-0}

m=\frac{-12}{6}=-2 ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

k=mj+b

we have

m=-2\\b=24

Note: The y-intercept is given (0,24)

substitute

k=-2j+24

Plot and connect the points A(1,-5), B(-4,-3), C(3,-3), and find the area of the triangle it forms.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  7 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the points are on the horizontal line y = -3, so it is convenient to call that the "base" of the triangle. The length of the base is the difference in the x-coordinates of its end points:

  b = 3 -(-4) = 7

The height is measured perpendicular to the base, so is the vertical distance from the line y=-3 to the third point. That distance is the difference between -3 and the y-coordinate of point A:

  -3 -(-5) = 2

The triangle has a base of length 7 and a height of 2. Its area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(7)(2) = 7 . . . . square units
