Answer:
3.50 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
6-2.25=4.75
4.75-1.25=3.50
Answer: x = 4 and x = -3/2
Procedure:
1) Given: 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
2) Multiply both sides by : 2(2x^2) - 2(5x) - 2(12) = 0
3) Rearrange: (2x)^2 -5(2x) - 24 = 0
4) Notice that the common factor is (2x)
5) Set the parenthesis with the common factor inside:
(2x ) (2x ) =0
6) The first sign is the same sign of the second term of the trinomial, which is negative, the second sign is the product of the signs of the second and the third terms of the polynomial, which is (-)*(-) = + (positive)
(2x - )(2x + ) = 0
7) find two numbers that sum up - 5x and its product is -24.
- 8 + 3 = - 5
(-8)(+3) = -24
=> the numbers in the factors are -8 and +3
(2x - 8) (2x + 3) = 0
That is the factored equation. Now you can solve
8) a) 2x - 8 = 0 => 2x = 8 => x = 8/2 => x = 4
b) 2x + 3 = 0 => 2x = - 3 => x = - 3/2
Answer: the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -3/2
Answer:
C is greater
D is less
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: "No, the triangles are not necessarily congruent." is the correct statement .
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔCDE, m∠C = 30° and m∠E = 50°
Therefore by angle sum property of triangles
m∠C+m∠D+m∠E=180°
⇒m∠D=180°-m∠E-m∠C=180°-30°-50°=100°
⇒m∠D=100°
In ΔFGH, m∠G = 100° and m∠H = 50°
Similarly m∠F +∠G+m∠H=180°
⇒m∠F=180°-∠G-m∠H=180°-100°-50=30°
⇒m∠F=30°
Now ΔCDE and ΔFGH
m∠C=m∠F=30°,m∠D=m∠G=100°,m∠E=m∠H=50°
by AAA similarity criteria ΔCDE ≈ ΔFGH but can't say congruent.
Congruent triangles are the pair of triangles in which corresponding sides and angles are equal . A congruent triangle is a similar triangle but a similar triangle may not be a congruent triangle.
