Answer:

Height = 8

Base = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Base=x+6

Height=x

Area of a triangle is 1/2bh.

1/2·x·(x+6)=56

x²+6x=112

x²+6x-112=0

(x+14)(x-8)=0

x=-14 or x=8

Since x can’t equal a negative number, it must be 8.

Height=x = 8

Base=x+6 = 8+6 = 14

3x−12≥15 2x−5≤9 5x+8≤53 3x−5≥16

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x−12≥15

3x ≥ 15 + 12

3x ≥ 27

or x≥ 9

B) 2x−5≤9

2x ≤ 9 +5

2x ≤ 14

or x ≤ 7

C) 5x+8≤53

5x ≤ 53 -8

5x ≤ 45

or x ≤ 9

D) 3x−5≥16

3x ≥ 16 + 5

3x ≥ 21

or x ≥ 7

Have a good day!

HURRY!!! How is completing the square beneficial? (in quadratic equation)

givi [52]

"Completing the square" is a step in the solution of quadratic equations. It can be accomplished without the guesswork or trial-and-error associated with methods like factoring, and it always leads to a solution. It is the method by which the quadratic formula is derived.

suppose that you have 3000$ to invest. which investment yields the greater return over a 10 year period: 8.04% compounded daily

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Option A: 8.04% compounded daily

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = P\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}\qquad where\\\\\bullet A = \text{accrued amount (principal plus interest earned)}\\\bullet P = \text{principal (amount invested)}\\\bullet r = \text{rate (in decimal form)}\\\bullet n=\text{number of times compounded in one year}\\\bullet t=\text{time (number of years)}\\\\\\Option\ A:\\A = \text{unknown}\\P=3000\\r=8.04\%\rightarrow 0.0804\\n=\text{daily}\rightarrow 365\\t=10\\\\A=3000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.0804}{365}\bigg)^{365\times 10}\\\\.\ =\$ 6,702.79$

$Option\ B:\\A = \text{unknown}\\P=3000\\r=8.1\%\rightarrow 0.081\\n=\text{quarterly}\rightarrow 4\\t=10\\\\A=3000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.081}{4}\bigg)^{4\times 10}\\\\.\ =\$ 6,689.37$

Option A results in the greater amount of money.
