The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments 2 cm and 8cm. Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse? (Round to the nearest whole number)

Altitude =

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

it would be 0.18 because when the other choices are converted they equal those two numbers.   hope this !
