Answer:

9.48*

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle. The formula for solving the Hypotenuse, or the longest side of the right triangle is A^2 + B^2 = C^2. If we put the numbers from the problem into the formula this is what we get :

3^2 + 9^2 = C^2

9 + 81 = C^2

90 = C^2

9.48 = C

* This is rounded, the exact number is closer to 9.486832980505138. Your class should tell you what to round to.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the line: y=−5/2x+4 that goes through the point (-6, 0).
NikAS [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

the line given slope = x coefficient = -5/2

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

new slope = 2/5

line equation formula = y = mx+ b

m = slope

y= 2/5x + b

from the point given (-6,0)

x = -6

y = 0

0= -12/5 + b

b = +12/5

line equation =

y =  \frac{2}{5} x +  \frac{12}{5}

If ac =x+3 and db=3x-19, find ac
AveGali [126]
We need some sort of diagram to see what they are. Is there any way to say that ac = db? Either equal angles or equal lines. 
x + 3 = 3x - 19 Add 19
x + 3 + 19 = 3x Subtract x
21 = 2x
x = 21 / 2
x = 10.5

ac = 10.5 + 3
x = 13.5

find h and k such that the equation 3x^2 -hx +4k =0, so that the sum of the solutions is -12 and the product of the solutions is
Radda [10]
Let the solutions be a and b.
a = -2; b = -10
a + b = -2 + (-10) = -12
ab = (-2)(-10) = 20

(x - a)(x - b) = 0

(x - (-2))(x - (-10)) = 0

(x + 2)(x + 10) = 0

x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 20 = 0

-h = 12

h = -12

4k = 20

k = 5
