Write in prime factored form.
Cross-cancel
Answer:
Slope = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = change in y/change in x
= (8-5)/(5-2)
=3/3
Answer:
6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
A 45 45 90 right triangle, so ratio of leg : leg: hypotenuse = a: a : a√2 (a = value of leg)
Given: leg = 6
So the ratio of leg : leg: hypotenuse = 6 : 6 : 6 √2
Answer:
x = 6√2
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation shown can be solved this way.
x^2 +(x -4)^2 = 20^2
x^2 +x^2 -8x +16 = 400
2x^2 -8x -384 = 0
x^2 -4x -192 = 0
(x -16)(x +12) = 0
The positive solution is ...
x = 16

Since this makes use of the Pythagorean theorem, you've probably run across the 3-4-5 triangle. You often find scaled versions of it in algebra and geometry problems. Here, it is scaled by a factor of 4 to give a 12-16-20 triangle as half of the display screen.
The 3-4-5 triple is the only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence. So, if the difference in side lengths is 4 and the diagonal is 5×4, you can be pretty certain that x = 4×4 and x-4 = 4×3.
Answer:
d. 16x² + y² = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form of an ellipse is:
x² / a² + y² / b² = 1
If b > a, the ellipse has a vertical orientation.
We can ignore options b and c, since they have minus signs in them.
Convert the other options to standard form:
a. x² / (1/16) + y² / (1/25) = 1
x² / (1/4)² + y² / (1/5)² = 1
1/4 > 1/5
d. x² + y² / 16 = 1
x² / 1² + y² / 4² = 1
1 < 4
e. x² / 16 + y² = 1
x² / 4² + y² / 1² = 1
4 > 1
Of these three options, only d is a vertical ellipse.
