Solve the equation p^2 + 4p = 1 by completing the square.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Sadie uses 9.8 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1 4 of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint. How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?

Answers

Answer:

7.35 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use 1/4 of the 9.8 pints for blue, then the remaining white paint takes up 3/4 of the 9.8 pints of paint. To find how many pints of paint is equal to 3/4 of it, you must multiply that fraction by the amount (9.8).

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] * 9.8 (or 0.75 * 9.8) = 7.35

Therefore, 7.35 pints of the total paint used is white.

There is a unique positive real number x such that the three numbers
log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio.
The number x can be written as m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers.
Find m+n.

Answers

Answer: 17  

Step-by-step explanation:

If the log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio.

Let a = log82x, b = log4x and c = log2x

If a = log8 2x; 8^a = 2x... (1)

If b = log4 x; 4^b = x ... (2)

If c = log2 x; 2^c = x...(3)

Since a, b c are in GP, then b/a = c/b

Cross multiplying:

b² = ac ...(4)  

From eqn 1, x = 8^a/2

x = 2^3a/2

x = 2^(3a-1)

From eqn 2; x = 4^b

x = 2^2b

From eqn 3: x = 2^c

Equating all the values of x, we have;

2^(3a-1) = 2^2b = 2^c

3a-1 = 2b = c

3a-1 = c and 2b = c

a = c+1/3 and b = c/2  

Substituting the value of a = c+1/3 and b = c/2 into equation 4 we have;

(c/2)² = c+1/3×c

c²/4 = c(c+1)/3

c/4 = c+1/3

Cross multiplying;

3c = 4(c+1)

3c = 4c+4

3c-4c = 4

-c = 4

c = -4  

Substituting c = -4 into equation 3 to get the value of x we have;

2^c = x

2^-4 = x

x = 1/2^4

x = 1/16    

Since the number x can be written as m/n, then x = 1/16 = m/n

This shows that m = 1, n = 16

m+n = 1+16

m+n = 17  

The required answer is 17.  

The value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

What is geometric sequence?

Geometric sequence is the sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term with the same number for the whole series.

There is a unique positive real number x such that the three numbers log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio. The progression is,

[tex]\log_82 x,\log_4x, \log_2x[/tex]

The above numbers are in geometric progression. Thus, the ratio of first two terms will be equal to the ratio of next two terms as,

[tex]\dfrac{\log_4x}{\log_82x}=\dfrac{\log_2x}{\log_4x}\\(\log_4x)^2={\log_2x}\times{\log_82x}\\[/tex]

Using the base rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 4}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log8}\\\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2^2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log2^3}[/tex]

Using the Power rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{2\log 2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{3\log2}\\\dfrac{\log x}{4}=\dfrac{\log 2+\log x}{3}\\3\log x=4(\log2x)\\\log x^3=\log(2x)^4\\x^3=16x^4\\x=\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]

The number x can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{m}{n}[/tex]

Here, m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Thus, the value of m+n is,

[tex]m+n=1+16=17[/tex]

Hence, the value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

In the past twenty years, scientists have seen the sea level rise at a rate of approximately 0.13 inches per year. If this rate continues, which best represents the change in sea level over the next 27 months (2.25 years)?

Answers

Answer:

The change in the sea level will be by 0.2925 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all , we will need to write out the rate at which the sea level is rising. This is 0.13 inches, per year. This means that every year, the sea level increases by 0.13 inches.

Since the sea level increases by 0.13 inches every year, in 2.25 years, to get the sea level, we will have to multiply the current rate at which it is rising by that duration of time.

This will be 2.25 years X 0.13 inches/ year = 0.2925 inches

Therefore, the change in the sea level will be by 0.2925 inches

0.2925 inches

There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)

There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.

How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.

The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope

(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2

The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is

(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2

The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.

Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.

Given the fractions 8/15 and 18/35, find the largest number that these fractions can be divided by, so that the quotient will be a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the largest number that these fractions can be divided by to give them a whole number is

a) 8/15 = The largest number is 8/15

b) 18/35 = The largest number is 18/35

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the result obtained by dividing two numbers.

So that the quotient obtained is a whole number we have to find out, what number they can be divided by to give them that.

Let's assume the whole number is 1

a. 8/15

8/15 ÷ x = 1

8/15 × 1/x = 1

8/15x = 1

We would cross multiply

8 = 15x

We would divide both sides by 15

8/ 15 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 8/15 and give it a whole number = 8/15

b) 18/35

18/35÷ x = 1

18/35 × 1/x = 1

18/35x = 1

We would cross multiply

18 = 35x

We would divide both sides by 35

18/ 315 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 18/35 and give it a whole number = 18/35

Answer:

The answer is 2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find the LCM of both denominators. IN this case, the LCM of 15 and 35 is 105. Then we have to find the GCF of these numerators. IN this case, the GCF of 8 and 18 is 2.

Now, put the GCF you found over the LCM.

ANSWER: 2/105

This fraction is the largest number you can divide both numbers by to get a whole number.

Natalie is out for a run. She decides to run a park in town. The length of sides of the park are 15 feet, 1o feet, 12 feet and 14 feet. How many feet will natalie run?

Answers

Answer:

51 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many feet will Natalie run, we just need to sum the four sides of the park that she will run:

Total distance = 15 + 10 + 12 + 14 = 51 feet

So if Natalie runs the sides of the park, she will run a total of 51 feet.

This value is also the perimeter of the park, that is, the sum of all 4 sides of the park.

volume of cone with radius of 6 and heights of 8

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cone, you multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.

The base of a cone is a circle. To find the area of a circle, we square the radius and then multiply it by pi (we will use 3.14). Let's find the base below.

6²=36

36×3.14=113.04

Now, we multiply by the height.

113.04×8=904.32

Finally, we divide by three.

904.32÷3=301.44

Therefore, the volume of this cone is about 301.44 units cubed.

Now you can find the area of cones! I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
