Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x²-2x-1
and y=-3x+5
x²-2x-1=-3x+5
x²+x-6=0
x²+3x-2x-6=0
x(x+3)-2(x+3)=0
(x+3)(x-2)=0
x=-3,2
when x=-3
y=-3×-3+5=9+5=14
when x=2
y=-3×2+5=-6+5=-1
so solutions are (-3,14) and (2,-1)
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
