The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
Parallel lines are equal to each other(congruent). the slope is 4
Answer:
hey
Step-by-step explanation:
The annual discount is 3%, therefore the total discount for 1 year would be:
4300 × 3 ÷ 100 = 129$
Now, you can set a proportion:
discount : annual discount = loan days : days in one year
21 : 129 = x : 360
x = 21 × 360 / 129 = 58.6 days
Hence, the loan duration was 60 days.
3 inches to 6 feet is the possible answer
