Questions and Answers

Use the distributive property to expand the expression $(2x+3)(x-5)$.

$2x^2 - 7x - 15$

Factor the quadratic trinomial $x^2 + 5x + 6$.

$(x + 3)(x + 2)$

Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Let $ABCD$ be a rectangle. Draw diagonal $AC$. Then, $ riangle ABC$ is a right triangle with $AC$ as its hypotenuse. Similarly, $ riangle ADC$ is a right triangle with $AC$ as its hypotenuse. By the Pythagorean theorem, $AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 = AD^2 + DC^2$. Therefore, $AB^2 + BC^2 = AD^2 + DC^2$, so $AB = AD$ and $BC = DC$. Thus, the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Solve the quadratic equation $x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0$ by factoring.

<p>Let $x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0$. Then, $(x + 2)(x + 2) = 0$. Therefore, $x + 2 = 0$, so $x = -2$. Thus, the solution is $x = -2$.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 5 and 12.

<p>Let $c$ be the length of the hypotenuse. Then, $c^2 = 5^2 + 12^2$. Therefore, $c = \/sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \/sqrt{25 + 144} = \/sqrt{169} = 13$. Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 13.</p> Signup and view all the answers
