Unit 6 homework 2 need help

Mathematics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]2 years ago

∆PQR and ∆SQT are similar, so corresponding sides occur in fixed ratios with one another. This means

SQ / PQ = ST / PR

Solve for x :

8 / ((x + 5) + 8) = (x - 9) / 21

8 / (x + 13) = (x - 9) / 21

168 = (x - 9) (x + 13)

168 = x² + 4x - 117

x² + 4x - 285 = 0

(x + 19) (x - 15) = 0

⇒   x = -19   or   x = 15

But x can't be smaller than 9, otherwise ST = x - 9 would be a negative length. So x = 15.

What is the simplest form of the expression 2x(x â’ 6) â’ 7x2 â’ (13x â’ 3)? A. 5x2 â’ 25x 3 B. -5x2 â’ 25x 3 C. -5x2 x 3 D. -5x
kobusy [5.1K]

The simplest form of the given expression can be written as -5x² + 25x - 3.

The given parameters:

2x(x + 6) - 7x²  + (13x - 3)

The given expression can be simplified as follows;

2x(x + 6) - 7x² +  (13x - 3)

= 2x² + 12x -  7x² + 13x - 3

<em>collect similar terms together</em>

= (2x² - 7x²)  + (12x + 13x) - 3

= -5x² + 25x - 3

Thus, the simplest form of the given expression can be written as -5x² + 25x - 3.
