Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle= ½ ×base ×height

Since the length of the base and the height of the triangle is equivalent to the length of a side of the square, s,

area of triangle

= ½ ×s ×s

= ½s²

Given that the area of the triangle is 12.5 units²,

½s²= 12.5

Multiply both sides by 2:

s²= 12.5(2)

s²= 25

Square root both sides:

s =  \sqrt{25}

s= 5 units

(reject negative value since s > 0)

(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0
seraphim [82]

Answer:

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0

Subtract 20 from each side

(x – 2)^2 + 20 -20=0 -20

(x – 2)^2 =- 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x – 2)^2) =±sqrt(- 20)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 20)

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 1) sqrt(20)

We know the sqrt (-1) = i

x-2  = ±i sqrt(4*5)

x-2 = ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

x = 2 ±i 2 sqrt(5)

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

Evaluate the following expressions using the chip method. SHOW ALL WORK!!!
Mila [183]

Answer:

  • a. -7
  • b. -20
  • c. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a. -9+2, in this case, it is -7 because you take the bigger number and subtract it by the lower number. If the bigger number is negative your answer will be negative, if the bigger number is positive it will be positive it is just really a basic subtraction problem just add the sign.
  • b. In multiplication +++=+ ++-=- and a -+-=+ do your problem without thinking about the signs and then add the signs with the formula I showed you.
  • c. ---=+

Hope this helps :)!

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4,-1). When the y-value is 0, the xvalue is 2
yaroslaw [1]
The standard form for this parabola is x = a(y-k)^2 + h because this is a sideways-opening parabola. Our h and k values for the vertex are (-4, -1). And it goes through (2,0). We just need to solve for the a. Filling in accordingly, 2 = a(0+1)^2-4 so 2 = a - 4. a = 6. A above.

correct answer is 6!
