An altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles. As a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments. The length of the altitude is 18 inches, and the length of the base is 17 inches. Find the triangle's perimeter. Round to the nearest tenth of an inch.

To find the extreme values of a function f(x.y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x,y)=xy

What is best way to getting answer for my exam is

On #16 : explain how factoring a trinomial, ax^2+ bx+ c, when a does not equal 1 different from factoring a trinomial when a = 1.
