Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12
Answer:
heres an example of substitution in a world problem. hope this helps on some other problens
Answer: AB = 12.5, BC = 15
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Perimeter of ΔBCD = BC + CD + BD. Since it is an isoceles triangle, then BC = CD = BD. So, Perimeter of ΔBCD = 3BC
3BC = 45
<u>÷3 </u> <u>÷3 </u>
BC = 15
Perimeter of ΔABC = AB + BC + AC. Since it is an isosceles triangle with BC as the base, then AB = AC. So, Perimeter of ΔABC = 2AB + BC
2AB + BC = 40
2AB + 15 = 40
<u> -15</u> <u> -15 </u>
2AB = 25
<u>÷2 </u> <u>÷2 </u>
AB = 12.5
I might not understand this correctly because of the misspellings, but if you draw a right angle. There is only 1 right angle... in a right angle.
