Exercise 139
Step 1
1 of 2
The $y$-intercept has $x=0$ and is thus equal to the constant term of the equation:

$$
y=-15
$$

The $x$-intercept has $y=0$:

$$
0=x^2-2x-15
$$

Factorize:

$$

$y$-intercept: $(0,-15)$

$x$-intercepts: $(5,0)$ and $(-3,0)$

Exercise 140
Step 1
1 of 2
a. If $x=b$ is an $x$-intercepts, then the equation has a factor $(x-b)$. The equation is then of the form:

$$
y=a(x-1)(x+1)
$$

We also know that $(0,-1)$ is a point on the graph:

$$
-1=a(-1)(1)=-a
$$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-1$:

$$
1=a
$$

Replace $a$ with 1 in the equation:

$$
y=(x-1)(x+1)
$$

b. If $x=b$ is an $x$-intercepts, then the equation has a factor $(x-b)$. The equation is then of the form:

$$
y=a(x+2)(x-5)
$$

We also know that $(0,10)$ is a point on the graph:

$$
10=a(2)(-5)=-10a
$$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-10$:

$$
-1=a
$$

Replace $a$ with $-1$ in the equation:

$$
y=-(x+2)(x-5)
$$

Result
2 of 2
a. $y=(x-1)(x+1)$

b. $y=-(x+2)(x-5)$

Exercise 141
Step 1
1 of 2
a.
$$
x^2-6x-12=0
$$

Add 21 to both sides of the equation:

$$
x^2-6x+9=21
$$

Factorize:

$$
(x-3)^2=21
$$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation:

$$
x-3=pm sqrt{21}
$$

Add 3 to both sides of the equation:

$$
x=3pm sqrt{21}
$$

b.
$$
x^2-3=4x
$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides of the equation:

$$
x^2-4x-3=0
$$

Add 7 to both sides of the equation:

$$
x^2-4x+4=7
$$

Factorize:

$$
(x-2)^2=7
$$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation:

$$
x-2=pm sqrt{7}
$$

Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

$$
x=2pm sqrt{7}
$$

Result
2 of 2
a. $x=3pm sqrt{21}$

b. $x=2pm sqrt{7}$

Exercise 142
Step 1
1 of 2
a. The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes:

$$
P(freshman)=dfrac{64}{212}=dfrac{16}{53}approx 0.302=30.2%
$$

$$
P(sophomore)=dfrac{112}{212}=dfrac{28}{53}approx 0.528=52.8%
$$

Determine the probability using the addition rule:

$$
P(freshmantext{ or }sophomore)=P(freshman)+P(sophomore)-P(freshmantext{ and }sophomore)
$$

$$
=dfrac{16}{53}+dfrac{28}{53}-0=dfrac{44}{53}approx 0.83=83%
$$

b. Determine the probability using the addition rule:

$$
P(bandtext{ or }chorus)=P(band)+P(chorus)-P(bandtext{ and }chorus)
$$

Replace the known probabilities with their values:

$$
75%=dfrac{114}{212}+dfrac{56}{212}-P(bandtext{ and }chorus)
$$

Add $P(bandtext{ and }chorus)$ to both sides of the equation:

$$
P(bandtext{ and }chorus)+dfrac{3}{4}=dfrac{170}{212}
$$

Subtract $dfrac{3}{4}$ from both sides of the equation:

$$
P(bandtext{ and }chorus)=dfrac{170}{212}-dfrac{3}{4}=dfrac{11}{212}approx 0.052=5.2%
$$

Result
2 of 2
a. About 83%

b. About 5.2%

Exercise 143
Step 1
1 of 3
a. The tangent ratio is the opposite side divided by the opposite rectangular side:

$$
x=tan^{-1}dfrac{5}{8}approx 32text{textdegree}
$$

b. The cosine ratio is the adjacent rectangular side divided by the hypotenuse:

$$
theta = cos^{-1}dfrac{10}{11}approx 24.6text{textdegree}
$$

Step 2
2 of 3
c. The sine ratio is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse:

$$
theta = sin^{-1}dfrac{4}{5}approx 53text{textdegree}
$$

d. The cosine ratio is the adjacent rectangular side divided by the hypotenuse:

$$
theta = cos^{-1}dfrac{9}{10}approx 25.8text{textdegree}
$$

Result
3 of 3
a. 32$text{textdegree}$

b. 24.6$text{textdegree}$

c. 53$text{textdegree}$

d. 25.8$text{textdegree}$

Exercise 144
Step 1
1 of 2
The sine ratio is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse:

$$
sin{40text{textdegree}}=dfrac{h}{600}
$$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 600:

$$
386approx 600sin{40text{textdegree}}=h
$$

Result
2 of 2
About 386 ft

$$

b. The two triangles are similar because of AA and are congruent because of AAS.

$$

Step 2
2 of 3
c. It is not possible to determine if the triangles are congruent and/or similar. because the known congruent angle does not lie in between the known congruent sides.

a. AA

b. AAS

c. Not possible to determine if triangles are congruent

Exercise 146
Step 1
1 of 2
a. (i) and (ii) are possible, but (iii) is not possible, because the longest side can be at most the sum of the other two sides (but not equal to the sum).

b. Yes, interchange the pipe with length 3 and the pipe with length 4.

c. The largest angle always opposite the longest side.

Result
2 of 2
a. (i) and (ii)
b. Yes
c. Opposite the longest side
