Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the definition of an exterior angle of a triangle,

"Measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of measures of the opposite interior angles"

m∠STP = m∠SWT + m∠STW

Substitute the measures of the angles from the picture attached,

15x = (7x + 1) + (7x + 6)

15x = (7x + 7x) + (1 + 6)

15x = 14x + 7

15x - 14x = 7

x = 7

Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.

If P(x)=x^2-1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p-q)(x)

zheka24 [161]

Okay so you do p(x) -q(x) and you get (x)^2-5x hope this helps. (Also hope that trigonometry I'm taking comes through lol)

Complete the steps of the derivation of the quadratic formula step 1: (x+b/2a)^2-b^2-4ac/4a^2=0

CaHeK987 [17]

(x+b/2a)^2-(b^2-4ac)/2a=0
Step 2:
Re-write the expression:
(x+b/2a)^2=(b^2-4ac)/4a^2

Step 3:
get the square root of both sides:
x+b/2a=sqrt[(b^2-4ac)/4a^2]

Step 4:
Simplifying we get:
x+b/2a=sqrt[b^2-4ac]/2a

Step 5
Make x the subject:
x=-b/2a+/-sqrt[b^2-4ac]/2a
