Let us assume for starters that it is true.
The area of the square is s^2, so that is where you start.
(1 + 2*sqrt(2) ) ^2 = 1 + 4*sqrt(2) + 8 Taking 1 away form that does not leave you with 8.
Let's start again.
If all sides are reduced by 1 , but the square is retained, then the length of the side is 2sqrt(2). Now we have
s^2 = (2sqrt(2) )^2 = 4 * 2 = 8
The question is really not worded clearly enough to give an answer. I think it's true, but the language has to be twisted a bit.
Answer: I'd answer true, but don't be surprised if it is not interpreted the way I did on my second try.
Answer:
Answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because there were 14 chocolate cupcakes to 21 vanilla cupcakes which in ratio form is 14 to 21 and simplified is 2 to 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Given:
−3x2+12x+1=0
This is in the form:
ax2+bx+c=0
with a=−3, b=12 and c=1
In order to decide which method to use, we can first examine the discriminant:
Δ=b2−4ac=122−4(−3)(1)=144+12=156
Since Δ>0 we can tell that the quadratic has 2 distinct real solutions, but because it is not a perfect square we can also tell that those solutions are irrational.
So there is no rational factorisation and we can discount the use of an AC method or similar.
We can use the quadratic formula or we can complete the square.
If we choose to use the quadratic formula, then we find:
x=−b±√b2−4ac2a
x=−b±√Δ2a
x=−(12)±√1562(−3)
x=−12±2√39−6
x=2±√393
When completing the square, note that b=12 is already divisible by a=−3 and by
