Answer:

Not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x² - 6x - 7 = 0

The following equation can be solved correctly by factoring Thus,

x² - x + 7x - 7 = 0

x(x - 1) +7(x - 1) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 7) = 0

(x - 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0

x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

x = 1

(x + 7) = 0

x + 7 = 0

x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

x = -7

Therefore, the solution would be x = 1 or x = -7

Lateena solution is therefore NOT CORRECT because she used a wrong method.

Find the radius of a circle that has an area of 6.76 cm². Use it for pi.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

<h2>radius = 1.47 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where

r is the radius

From the question

Area = 6.76 cm²

To find the radius substitute the value of the area into the above formula and solve for the radius

That's

$6.76 = \pi \: {r}^{2}$

Divide both sides by π

We have

${r}^{2} = \frac{6.76}{\pi} \\ r = \sqrt{ \frac{6.76}{\pi} }$

r = 1.46689291

We have the final answer as

radius = 1.47 cm

Hope this helps you
