A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the equation
X2 - 2x - 8 = 0. Where did the student go wrong?
Step 1. Factor the polynomial into (x - 4) and (x - 2)
Step 2. X-4 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
Step 3. x = 4 and x = 2
A. in Step 2
B. in Step 1
C. The student did not make any mistakes, the solution is correct
D. in Step 3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:(b) step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The wrong step in the student's workings is step 1

How to determine the wrong step?

The equation is given as:

x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

Expand the equation

x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8 = 0

Factorize the equation

x(x + 2)- 4(x + 2)

Factor out x + 2

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

The above means that the factored equation of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 is (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

This means that the step 1 of the student's step is wrong and incorrect

In triangle DEF, CG = (x + 5) units and DG = (3x - 2) units.

Triangle D E F has centroid G. Lines are drawn from each point to the midpoint of the opposite side to form line segments D C, E B, F A.

[Figure may not be drawn to sacle]

What is DG?

12 units
17 units
34 units
51 units

Answers

A centroid is the intersection point of the medians of a triangle. The required length of DG is 2.4 unit.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a two dimensional shape bounded by three sides. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The longest side of a triangle is always less than the sum of other two sides.

Given that,

There is a triangle ΔDEF.

The centroid of the given triangle is G.

The medians of the triangle are DC, EB and FA.

CG = (x + 5)

DG = (3x - 2)

Here, CG and DG are parts of the median DC.

Since, centroid of a triangle divides its each medians into the ratio of 2 : 1

in the direction from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The following expression can be written for the given problem,

DG/CG = 1/2

=> (3x - 2)/ (x + 5) = 1/2

=> 2(3x - 2) = x + 5

=> 6x - x = 5 + 4

=> x = 9/5

=> x = 1.8

Thus, DG = (3x - 2)

                = 3 × 1.8 - 2

                = 2.4

Hence, the length of DG is given as 2.4 unit.

A cone has a diameter labeled twelve centimeters and a height labeled thirty-two centimeters. Find the area of a vertical cross section through the center of the base of the cone.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A=0.0192[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter labeled twelve centimetres D =12cm => 0.12

height labeled thirty-two centimetres H= 32cm => 0.32

Generally the vertical cross section of this cone is a triangle

Mathematically solving

Area of vertical cross section through the center of the base of the cone is given by [tex]A=1/2 D*height[/tex]

[tex]A=R*H[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]A=\frac{0.12}{2} *0.32[/tex]

[tex]A=0.06 *0.32[/tex]

If one of the diagonals of a rectangle is 20cm and the difference between the length and the width is 4cm. What is the area of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

192cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the rectangle is expressed using the formula:

d = √l²+w²

l is the length

w is the width

Given d = 20

20 = √l²+w²

400 = l²+w² .... 1

Since the difference between the length and the width is 4cm, then;

l - w = 4 ... 2

l = 4 + w

Substitute equation 2 into 1;

400 = (4+w)²+w²

400 = 16 +8w + w² +w²

400 = 16 + 8w + 2w²

2w²+8w - 384 = 0

w²+4w - 192 = 0

w = -4±√4²-4(-192)/2

w = -4±√16+768/2

w = -4±28/2

w = -4+28/2

w = 24/2

w = 12

Since l = w+4

l = 12+4

l = 16

Area of the rectangle = 16 * 12

Area of the rectangle = 192cm²

Irrational numbers cannot be written as a fraction, or the ratio of two whole numbers.

You would have to find a GCF (greatest common factor) and multiply it out of the radical.

ex.

[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] = 2 x 2 x 2

when you have to multiplier numbers then you can combine two of them to take outside the radical, meaning 2x2x2

2[tex]\sqrt{2\\}[/tex]

so [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] would be closest to the positive 2 on the number line and 2 notches.

[tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex]

is an irrational number, so it might fall into 3.3 if turned into a decimal.

A regular octagonal pyramid. Each side of the base is 6 cm long. it has a height of 10cm. Find the surface area of the pyramid​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  470.16 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The apothem of the base is used for two purposes: to find the area of the base, and to find the slant height of each face.

The apothem of the base for side length s is ...

  s/2 = a·tan(π/8)

  a = s/(2·tan(π/8)) ≈ 7.24 cm

The slant height of a triangular face is found using the Pythagorean theorem. The apothem of the base and the height are legs of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the slant height. For slant height x, we have ...

  x² = 10² + a² = 100 +52.46

  x ≈ √152.46 ≈ 12.35

__

The area of the 8 triangular faces will be ...

  A = 1/2Px . . . . where P is the perimeter of the pyramid

The area of the base will be ...

  A = 1/2Pa

So, the total surface area is ...

  A = 1/2P(a + x) = (1/2)(8)(6 cm)(7.24 +12.35 cm) ≈ 470.16 cm²

The answer is 470.16 cm²
