Answer:
A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
(x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2
x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses
2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms
x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30
(x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic
x = -6 or +5
The solution is x = 5.
_____
Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
24x = 3 * 8 * x
3 = 3 * 1
Greatest common factor = 3
24x +3 = 3*8x + 3*1
=3(8x + 1)
More information is needed to solve the problem.
Answer:
10x^2 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2 times 2x will equal the area of 'Potatoes.'
5x times 2x is 10x^2.
2 times 2x is 4x.
I cannot provide an exact value because x hasn't been identified.
I hope this helps.
4^x + 6^x = 9^x
4^x + 6^x - 9^x = 0
2^2x + (2×3)^x - 3^2x = 0
2^2x + 2^x×3^x - 3^2x = 0
(⅔)^2x + (⅔)^x - 1 = 0
let t = ( ⅔)^x
t² + t - 1 = 0
t = (-1+√5 ) / 2
(⅔)^x = (-1+√5 ) / 2
x = Log base ⅔ ((-1+√5 ) / 2 )
x = 1.18681
