Answer:
x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )
x² + 6x = 5
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9
(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Then
x = - 3 - ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
x = - 3 + ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
Answer: (a,a)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A right isosceles triangle which is placed on the coordinate plane such that one of the legs of the triangle lies along the x-axis and the other leg is parallel to the y-axis.
From the given figure one vertex is on origin(0,0) and second on x -axis as (a,0) .ii.e. one side of the triangle is on the x axis with length 'a' and the side parallel to the y axis should perpendicular to the x axis with length 'a'.(∵ two sides are equal in a right isosceles triangle)
So the coordinates should she assign to the third vertex of the right isosceles triangle is (a,a).[as the point lie above the point (a,0), so its x abscissa should be same]
