Answer:

The numbers associated with the triangle are 5.437 and 6.437 centimeters, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are consecutives, when their difference is equal to 1. The area of the triangle is determined by the following formula:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot n \cdot (n+1)

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (n^{2}+n)

A = \frac{n^{2}}{2}+\frac{n}{2}

n^{2}+n = 2\cdot A

Where n is the shortest length of the triangle, measured in centimeters.

And we get the following second-order polynomial:

n^{2}+n -2\cdot A = 0 (1)

If we know that A = 17.5\,cm^{2}, then the shortest length of the triangle is:

n_{1} = 5.437\,cm and n_{2} \approx -6.437\,cm

Since length is a positive variable, the only possible solution is:

n\approx  5.437\,cm

Then, the numbers associated with the triangle are 5.437 and 6.437 centimeters, respectively.

Which values for h and k are used to write the function f of x = x squared 12 x 6 in vertex form?
Nesterboy [21]

The values of h and k when f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 6 is in vertex form is -6 and -30

<h3>How to rewrite in vertex form?</h3>

The equation is given as:

f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 6

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 12x + 6 = 0

Subtract 6 from both sides

x^2 + 12x = -6

Take the coefficient of x

k = 12

Divide by 2

k/2 = 6

Square both sides

(k/2)^2 = 36

Add 36 to both sides of x^2 + 12x = -6

x^2 + 12x + 36= -6 + 36

Evaluate the sum

x^2 + 12x + 36= 30

Express as perfect square

(x + 6)^2 = 30

Subtract 30 from both sides

(x + 6)^2 -30 = 0

So, the equation f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 6 becomes

f(x) = (x + 6)^2 -30

A quadratic equation in vertex form is represented as:

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

Where:

Vertex = (h,k)

By comparison, we have:

(h,k) = (-6,-30)

Hence, the values of h and k when f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 6 is in vertex form is -6 and -30
