Answer:

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 3 = 0 \\ 2( {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2} x - \frac{3}{2} ) = 0 \\ 2( {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2} x + {( \frac{5}{4} )}^{2} ) - \frac{3}{2} - {( \frac{5}{4} )}^{2} ) = 0 \\ ( {(x + \frac{5}{4} )}^{2} = \frac{49}{16} \\ x + \frac{5}{4} = ± \frac{7}{4} \\ x = 0.5 \: \: and \: \: 3[/tex]

Answer:

x= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]     or     x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{x^{2} +kx=(x+\frac{k}{2})^{2} -(\frac{k}{2})^{2} }[/tex]

First ensure that the coefficient of x² is 1.

x² +[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x -[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]= 0

[x +([tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] ÷2)]² -([tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] ÷2)² -[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]= 0

(x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex])² -([tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex])² -[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]= 0

(x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex])²- [tex]\frac{25}{16}[/tex] -[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]= 0

(x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex])² -[tex]\frac{49}{16}[/tex]= 0

(x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex])²= [tex]\frac{49}{16}[/tex]

x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{49}{16} }[/tex]                (square root both sides)

x +[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]= ±[tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

x= -[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]       or       x= -[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] -[tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

x= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]             or       x= -3

Answer:

22 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

loses 50% of it's mass per 22 years

so after 22 years the mass would be 44 grams

22 years later would leave 50% of 44 grams = 22 grams

Answer:

The polynomial x3 + 8 is equal to (x + 2)(x2 – 2x + 4)

Step-by-step explain

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 26 = x + 50

Subtract x on both sides of the equation.

4x - 26 = 50

Add 26 on both sides.

4x = 76

Now, divide by 4 on both sides.

x = 19

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-26=x+50

5x = 76 +x

4x = 76

x = 19

Answer:

third side = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

third side is hypoenuse as it is opposite to 90 degree.

using pythagoras theorem

(perpendicular)^2 + (base)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

2^2 + (2[tex]\sqrt{3[/tex] )^2 = hypotenuse^2

4 + 4*3 = hypotenuse^2

16 = hypotenuse^2

[tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] = hypotenuse

4 = hypotensue

Answer:

Kiera has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts. (2:5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, you would have to make the number of nuts the same in each to accurately compare them.

It starts with Kiera's 2 cups of raisins and 5 cups of nuts. So it will be 2:5 (raisins first then nuts.)

Desmond will be 3:6 (have to make it the same order, raisins and then nuts.)

So I multiplied both the 2 and the 5 in 2:5 by 6 first.

Then multiply both the 3 and 6 in 3:6 by 5 to make the number of nuts the same in both.

So Kiera will have 12:30 and Desmond will have 15:30.

Then you can conclude that Kiera has the lower ratio.

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{1+\sqrt{41}}{5},\\x=\frac{1-\sqrt{41}}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula states that the solutions for a quadratic is standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] are equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex].

In [tex]5x^2-2x-8=0[/tex], we can assign the values:

Thus, we have:

[tex]x=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(5)(-8)}}{2(5)},\\x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{164}}{10},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{2+ \sqrt{164}}{10}, x=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}=\frac{1+\sqrt{41}}{5}\\x=\frac{2- \sqrt{164}}{10}, x=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}=\frac{1-\sqrt{41}}{5}\end{cases}[/tex]

Answer:

(1+√41)/5, (1-√41)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

quadratic formula is (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

in this equation,

a = 5

b = -2

c = -8

plug in the values

(2±√(4 - 4(5)(-8))/10

(2±√(4 + 160)/10

(2±√(164)/10

(2±2√(41))/10

1. (2+2√41)/10

(1+√41)/5

2. (2-2√41)/10

(1-√41)/5

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that angle ZXY is the bisected angle which was split into angle 1 and 2

Also note that bisectors split angles into to separate congruent angles ( So if angle ZXY was bisected into angle 1 and angle 2 then angle 1 = angle 2 )

If angle 2 = 30 then angle 1 also = 30

Like stated multiple times angle ZXY is made up of angle 1 and 2

Hence, Angle ZXY = Angle 1 + Angle 2

Angle ZXY = 30 + 30 = 60

Answer:

7.61 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Haley hikes 3 miles north and 7 miles east.

We need to find the shortest distance from the campground to the waterfall. Let the distance is D.

It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]D=\sqrt{3^2+7^2}\\D=7.61\ miles[/tex]

So, the shortest distance from the campground to the waterfall is 7.61 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

(1)

[tex]x - y = 25[/tex]

[tex]2x + 3y = 180[/tex]  

(2)

[tex]2x - 3y = -5[/tex]

[tex]11x + y = 550[/tex]  

(3)

[tex]x - y = 19[/tex]

[tex]-12x + y = 168[/tex]

Solutions

[tex](-17,-36)[/tex]

[tex](47, 33)[/tex]

[tex](51, 26)[/tex]

Required

Match equations with solutions

(1) [tex]x - y = 25[/tex] and [tex]2x + 3y = 180[/tex]

Make x the subject in: [tex]x - y = 25[/tex]

[tex]x = 25 + y[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 25 + y[/tex] in [tex]2x + 3y = 180[/tex]

[tex]2(25 + y) + 3y = 180[/tex]

[tex]50 + 2y + 3y = 180[/tex]

[tex]50 + 5y = 180[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]5y = 180-50[/tex]

[tex]5y = 130[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]y =26[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]x = 25 + y[/tex]

[tex]x = 25 + 26[/tex]

[tex]x = 51[/tex]

So:

[tex](x,y) = (51,26)[/tex]

(2)  [tex]2x - 3y = -5[/tex] and [tex]11x + y = 550[/tex]

Make y the subject in [tex]11x + y = 550[/tex]

[tex]y = 550 - 11x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 550 - 11x[/tex] in [tex]2x - 3y = -5[/tex]

[tex]2x - 3(550 - 11x) = -5[/tex]

[tex]2x - 1650 + 33x = -5[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2x + 33x = -5+1650[/tex]

[tex]35x = 1645[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 47[/tex]

Solve for y in [tex]y = 550 - 11x[/tex]

[tex]y = 550 - 11 * 47[/tex]

[tex]y = 550 - 517[/tex]

[tex]y = 33[/tex]

So:

[tex](x,y) = (47,33)[/tex]

(3)

[tex]x - y = 19[/tex]  and [tex]-12x + y = 168[/tex]

Make y the subject in [tex]-12x + y = 168[/tex]

[tex]y = 168 + 12x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 168 + 12x[/tex] in [tex]x - y = 19[/tex]

[tex]x - 168 - 12x = 19[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x -12x = 168 + 19[/tex]

[tex]-11x = 187[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = -17[/tex]

Solve for y in [tex]y = 168 + 12x[/tex]

[tex]y =168-12 *17[/tex]

[tex]y =-36[/tex]

So:

[tex](x,y) = (-17,-36)[/tex]

Answer:

B. ) 36-48-60

Step-by-step explanation:

From Pythagoras theorem, we can determine the sides of the triangle by testing the options

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Then test the options

B. ) 36-48-60

36^2 + 48^2 = 60^2

3600 + 2304 = 3600

3600= 3600

Since both sides have equal values, then OPTIONS B express a correct sides of the triangle

C.) 6-10-14

6^2 + 10^2 = 14^2

Answer:

x = √3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Given

Opposite = √3

Adjacent = x

Acute angle theta = 45degrees

According to SOH CAH TOA;

tan theta = opp/adj

tan 45 = √3/x

x = √3/tan45

x = 1

x = √3

Hence the value of x in its simplest radical form is √3

Answer:

5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 tiles

P( blue) = blue /total = 5/12

We put the first tile back so there are still 12 tiles in the bag

P(yellow) = yellow/total = 4/12 = 1/3

P( blue, yellow) = 5/12 * 1/3 = 5/36

Given:

The equation is:

[tex]270=3e^{2.4K}[/tex]

To find:

The solution for the given equation to the nearest hundredth.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]270=3e^{2.4K}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]\dfrac{270}{3}=e^{2.4K}[/tex]

[tex]90=e^{2.4K}[/tex]

Taking ln on both sides, we get

[tex]\ln (90)=\ln e^{2.4K}[/tex]

[tex]\ln (90)=2.4K[/tex]                  [tex][\because \ln e^x=x][/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.4.

[tex]\dfrac{\ln (90)}{2.4}=K[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4.4998}{2.4}=K[/tex]           [tex][\because \ln (90)\approx 4.4998][/tex]

[tex]1.874916667=K[/tex]

Round the value to the nearest hundredth (two decimal place)

[tex]K\approx 1.87[/tex]

Therefore, the value of K is 1.87.

The author sold a total of 30240 books following this trend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find 5% of 14400 first;

14400 * 5%

14400 * 5/100

144 * 5

720 (So now we know that they are decreasing by 720 each month; therefore thats the constant)

=> aₙ = a₁ + r(n - 1)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 720(23 - 1)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 720(22)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 15840

=> a₂₃ = 30240

Hope this helps!

The author sold a total of 30240 books following this trend.

Let's find 5% of 14400 first;

[tex]14400 * 5\%\\14400 * 5/100\\144 * 5=720[/tex]

A, is a type of numerical sequence studied by Mathematics, where each term or element counting from the second is equal to the sum of the previous term with a constant.

So using the arithmetic progression we have:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + r(n - 1)\\a_{23} = 14400 + 720(23 - 1)\\ a_{23} = 14400 + 720(22)\\ a_{23} = 14400 + 15840\\a_{23} = 30240[/tex]
