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

Or

(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.

The first triangle is an enlargement of the second.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

large triangle:

base = 6.64 cm

hypotenuse = 8.31 cm

small triangle:

base = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

large triangle:

tan 37 = 5/base

0.7536 = 5/base

base = 6.64 cm

using the Pythagorean theorem:

hypotenuse² = 5² + 6.64²

hypotenuse² = 25 = 44.02 = 69.02

hypotenuse = 8.31 cm

small triangle:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

base² = 5² - 3²

base² = 25 - 9 = 16

base = 4 cm
