Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this use the equation $x^2 -15x - 50 = y$ given in the problem and the value y = 50. Substitute y = 50 then solve for x by factoring.

$x^2 -15x - 50 = 50\\x^2 - 15x -100 = 0$

Find two numbers which multiply to -100 and also add to -15. The numbers are -20 and 5.

So the factored form is (x-20)(x+5) = 0.

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

(x-20) = 0 so x = 20.

(x+5)=0 so x = -5.

This means the temperature is 20 degrees C or -5 degrees C. Only 20 is an option. The solutions is C.

I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?

podryga [215]

You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle. the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth

The sum of two numbers is -25. One number is 101 less than the other. Find the numbers

zlopas [31]

Answer:

-63, 38

Step-by-step explanation:

1st number = x

2nd number = x+101

x+x+101=-25

2x=-126

x=-63

1st number = x = -63

2nd number = x+101 = 38

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given

UNO [17]

Answer:

The point-slope form of the equation is:

$y-\left(-5\right)=-3\left(x-3\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

point (3, -5)

slope = -3

We know the point-slope form of the line equation is

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where m is the slope

substituting the values m = -3 and the point (3, -5)

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-\left(-5\right)=-3\left(x-3\right)$

Thus, the point-slope form of the equation is:

$y-\left(-5\right)=-3\left(x-3\right)$
