Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine CD
Since, C is a point on BD, the relationship between the given parameters is;
Substitute the values of BD, BC and CD
Collect Like Terms
Divide both sides by -4
To determine the length of CD;
Substitute 3 for x in
Hence;
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic expression in this form, the first step is to multiply the number in front of with the last term, the constant (with the sign in front as well). This is the "multiplied number".
Step 2 is to come up with 2 numbers which when multiplied is equal to the "multiplied number" in step 1 above and also add to the number in front of .
For this problem, we would need 2 numbers that
They already found the 2 numbers as expressed in the form shown . The 2 numbers are +32 and -5.
<em><u>Do they add up to 27, as required?</u></em>
Yes, 32-5=27
<u><em>Do they come to -90 when multiplied?</em></u>
No, 32 * -5 = -160
Hence, they add up, BUT NOT multiplied.
So the answer choice B is right.
