Answer:

  • x = - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given vertices:</u>

  • A(x, 1), B(5,3) and C(4,-3)

<u>Use distance formula to find the side lengths:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{(5 - x)^2+(3-1)^2} = \sqrt{x^2-10x + 25 + 4} = \sqrt{x^2-10x + 29}
  • AC = \sqrt{(4-x)^2+(-3-1)^2} = \sqrt{x^2-8x+16+16} =\sqrt{x^2-8x + 32}

<u>Since AB = AC, compare the squares and solve for x:</u>

  • x² - 10x + 29 = x² - 8x + 32
  • 10x - 8x = 29 - 32
  • 2x = - 3
  • x = - 1.5

\\ \rm\longmapsto AB=AC

\\ \rm\longmapsto \sqrt{(x-5)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(1+3)^2}

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+(-2)^2=(x-4)^2+4^2

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+4=(x-4)^2+16

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2-(x-4)^2=16-4=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2-10x+25-x^2+8x-16=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x+9=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x=12-9=3

\\ \rm\longmapsto x=\dfrac{3}{-2}=-1.5

Pavlova-9 [17]
60
D>0, there are 2 distinct real roots

Explanation:

3x2+6x−2=0
a=3,b=6,c=−2

The formula for discriminant is b2−4acSubstitute the given values.

b2−4ac
(6)2−4(3)(−2)
=60
therefore, D>0, there are 2 distinct real roots

$2.95 notebooks; 5% tax
dimaraw [331]
Turn 5% into a decimal which is 0.05, then multiply by 2.95 = 0.1475
round it off, which is 0.15
so $0.15 is the tax and if ur looking for the total price then add $2.95 to $0.15
