Similarities: They both are polynomials of degree 2, both of their graphs is a parabola, both have either 2 or 0 real solutions, they are both continuous functions over R
<span>(DOS= difference of two squares, PST=perfect square trinomial </span>
<span>Differences: PST has three terms, whereas the difference of squares has 2. PST's factors are both the same, whereas DOS's elements are conjugates of each other. DOS can always be factored into two distinct polynomials with rational coefficients, whereas PST has two same polynomial factors.</span>
Answer:
x = -1
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Since it gives you "y", plug in the number given into the equation:</em></u>
y = -6x - 5
1 = -6x - 5
<u><em>Then, add 5 to both sides:</em></u>
1 = -6x - 5
+5 + 5
________
6 = -6x
<em><u>Divide both sides by -6:</u></em>
6 = -6x
-1 = x
So now you have, x = -1 and y = 1
Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔBRD and ΔQCD are similar, hence the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
note that BD = 26 + 39 = 65
substitute values into the ratio equation
= 
( cross- multiply )
65x = 39(x + 18)
65x = 39x + 702 ( subtract 39x from both sides )
26x = 702 ( divide both sides by 26 )
x = 27
