Answer:
Option C
+ or - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic equation will have equal roots if its Discriminant is equal to zero.
the discriminant in this case is
considering the equation,
a = 9, b= 8k, c=8
Replacing the variables in the original equation with their respective values, we will have:
Note: The values of k are meant to be + or -2.12 as seen from the workings
However, these are not in the options given. the closest choice to it
is + or - 3
Answer:
1) ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by (SSS)
2) ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by (SAS)
3) ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by (HL)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Since BC ≅ DC and DF ≅ BF where CF ≅ CF (reflective property) we have;
ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by Side Side Side (SSS) rule of congruency
2) Since DF ≅ BF and FA ≅ FE where ∠DFE = ∠BFA (alternate angles)
Therefore;
ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by Side Angle Side (SAS) rule of congruency
3) Since FA ≅ FE and DF ≅ BF then where EB = FE + BF and AD = FA + DF
Where:
EB and AD are the hypotenuse sides of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively
We have that;
EB = AD from FE + BF = FA + DF
Where we also have BC ≅ DC
Where:
BC and DC are the legs of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively
Then we have the following relation;
ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by Hypotenuse Leg (HL).
