5:8
X:7

Cross multiply :
= 7(5)=8x

35=8x
Now divide both sides by 8
35/8= x
x= 4.375

Given that f(x) = 19x2 + 152, solve the equation f(x) = 0

telo118 [61]

Option A

The solution is:

$x = \pm 2i \sqrt{2}$

Solution:

$f(x) = 19x^2+152$

We have to solve the equation f(x) = 0

Let f(x) = 0

$0=19x^2+152$

Solve the above equation

$19x^2 + 152 = 0$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}152\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\19x^2+152-152=0-152\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ equation\\\\19x^2 = -152\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}19\\\\\frac{19x^2}{19} = \frac{-152}{19}\\\\x^2 = -8$

Take square root on both sides

$x = \pm \sqrt{-8}\\\\x = \pm \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{8}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x = \pm i\sqrt{8}\\\\x = \pm i \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2}\\\\x = \pm 2i\sqrt{2}$

Thus the solution is found

The coordinates of three vertices of a triangle are (3, 5), (-1, 5), and (-1, -3). What is the area of the triangle?

Marina86 [1]

If you would graph the triangle, one of the legs would be 8 and another would be 5 and the area of a triangle is bxh/2 so the equation is 8x5/2=20un².
Hope this helped! :)
