You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:
The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with
Plug in everything you know and solve for :
Height because dependent variable is the measurement
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 6x - 9
Subtract 6x from each side
x^2 -6x = -9
Add 9 to each side
x^2 -6x+9 = 0
Factor
what 2 numbers multiply to 9 and add to -6
-3*-3 = 9
-3+-3 =-6
(x-3)(x-3) = 0
Using the zero product property
x-3 =0 x-3=0
x=3 with multiplicity 2
Let, snake catches the mouse in t hours. Till then mouse is travelling from
( t + 1.5 ) hours.
Distance, travelled by mouse in t hours is, .
To catch the mouse snake had to travel the same distance d in t hours.
So,
Therefore, snake will catch mouse in 1.5 hours.
