Find all points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) All points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

or (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,0) be the point on x -axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) .

Then by distance formula , we have

$\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(0-(-7))^2}=14\ \ \ [\ \because distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]$

Taking square on both the sides , we get

$(x-6)^2+7^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+6^2-2(6)x+49=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+36-12x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x=111\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-111=0$

Using quadratic formula : $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-111)}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{144+444}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{588}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{2^2\times7^2\times3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm14\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6\pm7\sqrt{3}$

so, $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

since $\sqrt{3}=1.732$

so, $(6+7(1.732),0)\text{ and }(6-7(1.732),0)$ are the required points.

i.e. (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

How can knowing 4 times 7 help find the product of 8 times 7.

Nadya [2.5K]

Because 4x2 = 8, so 4x7=28, then you times 28 by 2 which equals 56 and 8x7=56

What fraction is equivalent to 20 in simplest fraction form

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

I believe its 20% or 20/100 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i mean, 20% is 20/100 or 1/5. the number already a fraction. the denominator is out of 100.

20% = 20/100

then you change it to simpliest form.

20 / 20 = 1

100 / 20 = 5 = 1/5

Which value must be added to the expression x2 + 12x to make it a perfect-square trinomial?

denis23 [38]

36 is must be added to the expression x² + 12x to make it

perfect-square trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect-square trinomial x² + 2ax + a² = (x + a)², then

1. The first term in the trinomial is square the 1st term in the bracket

2. The middle term in the trinomial is the product of 1st , 2nd

terms of the bracket and 2

3. The 3rd term in the trinomial is square the 2nd term in the bracket

∵ The expression is x² + 12x

∵ We must add the 3rd term which make it perfect-square trinomial

- Divide 12x by 2 to find the product of the 1st term and 2nd term

in the bracket

∵ 12x ÷ 2 = 6x

∴ The 1st term is x and the 2nd term is 6 of the bracket

∵ The 3rd term in the trinomial is square the 2nd term in the bracket

∴ The 3rd term in the trinomial is 6² = 36

∴ x² + 12x + 36 = (x + 6)²

36 is must be added to the expression x² + 12x to make it
