Answer:

k can either be

12

or

−

12

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation

0=x2+4x+4

. We can solve this by factoring as a perfect square trinomial, so

0=(x+2)2→x=−2 and−2

. Hence, there will be two identical solutions.

The discriminant of the quadratic equation (b2−4ac) can be used to determine the number and the type of solutions. Since a quadratic equations roots are in fact its x intercepts, and a perfect square trinomial will have

2 equal, or 1

distinct solution, the vertex lies on the x axis. We can set the discriminant to 0 and solve:

k2−(4×1×36)=0

k2−144=0

(k+12)(k−12)=0

k=±12

I need help, this is geometry
Artemon [7]

Answer:

∠P = 39º

∠Q=120º

∠R = 21º

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R=180º (sum of ∠s in a triangle)

2x-3+6x-6+x=180º (substitution)

9x-9=180º (algebra)

9x=189º (algebra)

x=21º (algebra) (this is ∠R)

(2x-3)=39º (algebra) (this is ∠P)

6x-6=120º (algebra) (this is ∠Q)

Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field that has a length of 40 yards and a width of 30 yards. How far did Tanya run?
Yuliya22 [10]

Tanya run 50 yards across the diagonal of the rectangular field.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

  • Length of the rectangular field = 40 yards
  • width of the rectangular field = 30 yards

Step 2 :

Measure of the diagonal = √(length^2 + width^2 )

Step 3 :

Diagonal = √(40^2 + 30^2 )

               = √(1600 + 900)

               = √2500

               = ±50

Step 4 :

Since distance cannot be negative, The measure of diagonal = 50 yards.

∴ Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field is 50 yards.
