Solve for x.


Use the completing the square method.


4x2−7x−8=0


Round decimals to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.5 or -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x

Firstly, we divide through by 4

= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0

Now, we move the two term to the right hand side

x^2 -7/4x = 2

Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;

That would be;

(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64

we now add this value to both sides of the equation

x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64

The right hand side can be rewritten as;

(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64

taking the square root of both sides

x-7/8 = √(177/64)

x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)

x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)

= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017

Which to the nearest tenth is

x = 2.5 or -0.8

Answers

Answer:

20 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must make an inverse proportionality rule, it is inverse because the fewer people there are, the more days must survive. In other words, we know that 2000 people can resist for 15 days, now, if there are no longer 2000 people, but 500 less, that is, 1500 (2000 - 500) how many days can they resist.

people    days

 2000       15

 1500         x

x = 2000 * 15/1500

x = 20

That is, they could last 20 days.

Given: w ∥ x and y is a transversal. Prove: ∠3 and ∠5 are supplementary. Parallel and diagonal lines w and x are cut by horizontal transversal y. On line w where it intersects with line y, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from uppercase left, the angles are: 1, 3, 4, 2. On line x where it intersects with line y, 4 angles are created. Labeled clockwise, from uppercase left, the angles are: 5, 7, 8, 6. Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the .

A certain television is advertised as a 17-inch TV (the diagonal length). If the width of
the TV is 8 inches, how many inches tall is the TV?

Answers

Answer:

15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

where 'c' is the hypotenuse (the longest side) and 'a' and 'b' are the legs (the other sides).

First, draw a diagram for the problem. (See the photo attached below)

We know the other leg is 8 and the hypotenuse is 17. 'a' is the missing side.

a = ?

b = 8

c = 17

Substitute the values into the equation.

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2} + 8^{2} = 17^{2}[/tex]

Rearrange to isolate 'a'

[tex]a^{2} = 17^{2} - 8^{2}\\[/tex]               Square root both sides

[tex]a = \sqrt{17^{2} - 8^{2}}[/tex]             Square each number

[tex]a = \sqrt{289-64}[/tex]             Subtract under the root

[tex]a = \sqrt{225}[/tex]                     Find the square root

[tex]a =15[/tex]                          Final answer

Therefore, the TV is 15 inches tall.

Rafael ha comprado 185,8 kg. de manzanas y 300,2 kg. de naranjas. ¿Cuánto más pesan las naranjas que las manzanas? ¿Cuánto pesa su compra?

Answers

Answer:

a.114.4kg

b. 486kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly , we want to know the value with which the apples weigh more than the oranges

To calculate this, we simply subtract the weight of the oranges from that of the apple

Mathematically, that would be ;

300.2-185.8 = 114.4kg

The total weight of the things bought is calculated by adding both weights together

That would be 185.8 + 300.2 = 486 kg

A room is 20 feet by 25 feet with a 10-foot ceiling. If Mickey paints the walls and the ceiling, how much surface area will he cover? Think, What area ISN'T Micky covering and subtract out that area...

Answers

Answer:

1400ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Room Dimension: 20 ft by 25 ft by 10 ft

Where Length = 20 ft

Width = 25 ft

Height = 10 ft

Required

Surface area of painted walls and ceiling

We'll assume that the room is rectangular in shape and all 4 sides are covered.

This means that Mickey will paint 4 walls and 1 ceiling.

The dimension of the 2 of the 4  walls is as follows;

20ft by 10ft, 25ft by 10ft,

Because opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, the dimension of the remaining 2 walls is: 20ft by 10ft, 25ft by 10ft

Calculating the area of the 4 walls;

[tex]Area = 20ft * 10ft + 25ft * 10ft + 20ft * 10ft + 25ft * 10ft[/tex]

[tex]Area = 200ft^2 + 250ft^2 + 200ft^2 + 250ft^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 900ft^2[/tex]

The dimension of the ceiling is as follows:

20ft by 25ft

Calculating the area of the ceiling

[tex]Area = 20ft * 25ft[/tex]

[tex]Area = 500ft^2[/tex]

So, the area Micky will cover = Area of 4 walls + Area of ceiling

Total Surface Area [tex]= 900ft^2 +500ft^2[/tex]

Total Surface Area = [tex]1400ft^2[/tex]

Hence, Micky will cover 1400ft²

From a point on the ground the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is x°. Moving 150 meters away from that point the angle of elevation was found to be y° .If tan x=3/4 and tan y=5/7 find the height of the tower.​

Answers

Answer:

2250m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Since

Hence,

tan x = 3/4

tan y=5/7

tan x = BA/ CA where BA = height and CA = distance

3/4 = h/ d

4h = 3d

h = 3d/4.......... Equation 1

tan y = BA / DA + 150m

5/7 = h/d + 150

7 × h = 5(d + 150)

7h = 5d + 750............ Equation 2

Since h = 3d/4

7(3d/4) = 5d + 750

21d/4 = 5d + 750

Multiply both sides by 4

21d = 4(5d + 750)

21d = 20d + 3000

21d -20d = 3000

d = 3000

Distance (d) = 3000m

Substitute 3000m for d in equation 1

h = 3d/4

h = 3 × 3000/4

h = 2250m

Answer:

2250m

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

We have:

[tex]\tan x^o=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\tan y^o=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

By definition of tangent, we have:

[tex]\tan x^o=\dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\\\tan y^o=\dfrac{AB}{AC+150}[/tex]

Therefore we have the system of equations:

[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{3}{4}&(1)\\\\\dfrac{AB}{AC+160}=\dfrac{5}{7}&(2)\end{array}\right[/tex]

From (1)

[tex]\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]             cross multiply

[tex]3AC=4AB[/tex]         divide both sides by 3

[tex]AC=\dfrac{4AB}{3}[/tex]

Substitute it to (2):

[tex]\dfrac{AB}{\frac{4AB}{3}+150}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{AB}{\frac{4AB}{3}+\frac{3\cdot150}{3}}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{AB}{\frac{4AB}{3}+\frac{450}{3}}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{AB}{\frac{4AB+450}{3}}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\AB\cdot\dfrac{3}{4AB+450}=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{3AB}{4AB+450}=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]            cross multiply

[tex](3AB)(7)=(5)(4AB+450)\\\\21AB=(5)(4AB)+(5)(450)[/tex]

[tex]21AB=20AB+2250[/tex]         subtract 20AB from both sides

[tex]AB=2250[/tex]

Such a tower height is rather impossible, but this is the solution.
