Step-by-step explanation:
The x- and y-intercepts are easily found:
<u><em>X-intercept</em></u>
Set y = 0 and divide by the coefficient of x.
-x +0 = 8
x = -8
__
<u><em>Y-intercept</em></u>
Set x = 0 and divide by the coefficient of y.
0 -2y = 8
y = -4
__
Now, we have two points on the graph: (-8, 0) and (0, -4). A third point can be one that is halfway between these: (-4, -2). The graph is attached.
A) The length of the longer leg is x-1
b) Based on the area, the other leg is 2*30/(x -1). Based on the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is √(x^2 -(x -1)^2).
c) Equating the two expressions for the shorter leg, we have
.. 60/(x -1) = √(2x -1)
.. 3600/(x -1)^2 = (2x -1)
.. (2x -1)(x^2 -2x +1) = 3600
.. 2x^3 -5x^2 +4x -3601 = 0
d) There is one positive real root, at x=13. A graphical solution works well.
The three sides of the triangle are 5 in, 12 in, 13 in.
