Answer:

  A.  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  (x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2

  x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic

  x = -6 or +5

The solution is x = 5.

_____

Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.

Use the discriminant of the following quadratic equation to state the number and type of solutions. 3x^(2)+4x-5=3x+2
krek1111 [17]
3x^(2)+4x-3x-5-2=0
3x^(2)+x-7=0
Discriminat= b^(2)-4ac= 1^(2)-4(3)(-7)= 1-12(-7)=1+84=85
The discrimination is bigger than 0 (delta>0) therefore there are 2 real solutions

A small theater with 200 seats sells two kinds of tickets for a performance. Premium tickets sell for $20 each and Standard tick
KATRIN_1 [288]
P + s = 200......p = 200 - s
20p + 15s = 3400

20(200 - s) + 15s = 3400
4000 - 20s + 15s = 3400
-20s + 15s = 3400 - 4000
-5s = - 600
s = -600/-5
s = 120 <=== there were 120 standard tickets sold

p + s = 200
p + 120 = 200
p = 200 - 120
p = 80 <=== there were 80 premium tickets sold
