OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

solve for AB

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

I am still confused!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18^2 = x(x+12) where x = AB ;) can u solve it?

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

I am getting answers but they are not any of the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on a sec let me get the answer for u, what is ur answer please?

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 2 answers, one negative which can be ignored and the other is 12.97 or round it to 13

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

okay!that is an option! Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know how to get it tho?

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

no, can you please explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used this [ -b +- sqrt(b2 - 4ac) ] / 2a is that what u used too?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm wait... shoot... AC is not 12...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

better delete it @jdoe0001 so it doesnt confuse her ;)

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

Okay! thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jewlzme17 the equation becomes x^2 +12x -324 = 0 using the above formula "[ -b +- sqrt(b2 - 4ac) ] / 2a" a = 1 b = 12 c = -324 substitue and find the 2 values for x ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x of course is what u looking for = AB

OpenStudy (jewlzme17):

That is using the quadratic formula! okay! that makes it so much more easier! Thank you!
