Answer:

Length: 13.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 8 and c= 16

8^2 + b^2 = 16^2

64 + b^2 = 256

b^2 = 256 - 64

b = sqrt 192

b = 13.9

When the solutions are going to be complex, which methods can be used to solve quadratic equations?

yKpoI14uk [10]

You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).

Try an example that will require both.

y = x^2 + 2x + 5

Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.

Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)

y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4

The vertex is at (-1,4)

Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2} - 4*1*5 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 20 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{-16 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm 4i }{2}$
x = -1 +/- 2i

x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.

REASONING IN ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY Fill in the reason that justifies each step

pantera1 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

1a. multiplication property of equality

1b. distributive property

1c. subtraction property of equality

1d. division property of equality

2a. distributive property

2b. addition property of equality

2c. division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The properties that let you do the same thing to both sides of an equation are the properties of equality. These are usually given an additional qualifier according to the operation being performed: addition property ..., subtraction property ..., multiplication property ..., division property .... The property that lets you add or eliminate parentheses is the distributive property (of multiplication over addition).

To answer these questions, you need to compare each line to the previous to see what operation was performed. It will generally be use of one of the properties described above, or "simplification," in which like terms are combined.

1a. both sides are multiplied by 3: multiplication property of equality

1b. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

1c. 18 is subtracted from both sides: subtraction property of equality

1d. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

2a. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

2b. 24 is added to both sides: addition property of equality

2c. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

Verify experimentally that the angle opposite to the longer side is greater than

Veronika [31]

Answer:

If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the angle opposite to the longer side is larger (or greater). You may prove this theorem by taking a point P on BC such that CA = CP.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's how you can prove which side is bigger

which expression simplifies to 41? choose all that apply! question 14 options: 10 2³ ∙ 4 - 1 10 2³ ∙ (4 - 1) (10 2³) ∙ 4 - 1 10

nordsb [41]

The expressions that simplifies to 41 are:

a) 10 + 2³ * 4 - 1

d) 10 + (2³ * 4) - 1

Information about the problem:

a) 10 + 2³ * 4 - 1

b) 10 + 2³ * (4 - 1)

c) (10 + 2³) * 4 - 1

d) 10 + (2³ * 4) - 1

We solve the equations respecting the level of hierarchy:

First the operations in parentheses, then brackets and finally braces.
Of the arithmetic operations, first the multiplication and divisions and then the additions and subtractions.

a) 10 + 2³ * 4 - 1

10 + 8*4 - 1

10 + 32 - 1

42 - 1

41 (it applies)

b) 10 + 2³ * (4 - 1)

10 + 8 * (3)

10 + 24

34 (it doesn't applies)

c) (10 + 2³) * 4 - 1

(10 + 8) * 4 - 1

18*4 - 1

72 - 1

71 (it doesn't applies)

d) 10 + (2³ * 4) - 1

10 + (8*4) - 1

10 + 32 -1

42 - 1

41 (it applies)

<h3>What are algebraic operations?</h3>

We can say that they are the set of numbers and symbols that are related by the different mathematical operation signs such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division among others.
