Using the Quadratic Formula, which of the following is the solution to the quadratic equation x2 + 2x - 3 = 0?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x=1 or x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula is [tex]-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2[/tex]

a=1 b=2 c=-3

Substitute

[tex](-2+-\sqrt{2^{2}-4(1)(-3) }) /2\\(-2+-\sqrt{4+12}) /12\\(-2+-\sqrt{16}) /2\\(-2+-4) /2\\x=\frac{-2+4}{2} \\x=\frac{-2-4}{2} \\\\\\Simplify\\x=\frac{2}{2} \\\\x=\frac{-6}{2} \\\\Simplify\\x=1\\x=-3[/tex]

Simplify 8x^4/x^3+7x^4 and Find the excluded values​

Answers

So first what we do is we need to get the excluded values. So to get them we have: 8x^4/x^3+7x^4.

Lets factor out the second part. x^3+7x^4 = (x^(3/4)+7x))^4

So then we get 8x^4/(x^(3/4)+7x)^4

8x^4/(x^(3/4)+7x)^4

Solve the equation, 2x + 1 = 3, for x. Which of the following properties of equality did you apply? Question 11 options: A) Addition and division B) Addition and multiplication C) Subtraction and multiplication D) Subtraction and division

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+1=3

-1 on both sides: 2x=2, then divide by two. You get x=1

For this you would use D, subtraction and division

Answer:

x = 1

D) Subtraction and Division

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 1 = 3

(2x + 1) - 1) = (3) - 1   ←

2x = 2

(2x)/2 = (2)/2  ←

x = 1

Racquetballs are sealed in a pressurized container to maintain the rebound percentage
of the balls. A racquetball has a rebound percentage of 83% when it is taken out of the
pressurized can. Suppose a racquetball is dropped from a height of 3 meters onto a
racquetball court. Use the rebound rate given to predict the height of the ball after the
first 5 bounces​

Answers

Answer:

1.182 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the initial height is 3 meters, we know that after each rebound it recovers 83% of the original height, therefore:

First bounce:

3 * 0.83 = 2.49

Second bounce:

2.49 * 0.83 = 2.0667

We can deduce a formula here:

hn = 3 * (0.83) ^ n

where is the bounce number, we know that the bounce number that we want to find the height is 5, therefore:

h5 = 3 * (0.83) ^ 5

h5 = 1.182

which means that at the fifth bounce, the height is 1.182 meters.

They are lines that lie exactly on top of one another because they have the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Answers

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given lines are

[tex]2x-4y=8[/tex]

[tex]4x+2y=8[/tex]

Let's rewrite each equation in the form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

[tex]2x-4y=8\\2x-8=+4y\\y=\frac{2x-8}{4} \\y=\frac{x}{2}-2[/tex]

[tex]4x+2y=8\\2y=8-4x\\y=\frac{8-4x}{2}\\ y=4-2x[/tex]

Now, let's use the perpendicular rule

[tex]m_{1} \times m_{2} =-1\\\frac{1}{2} \times (-2)=-1 \implies -1=-1[/tex]

As you can observe, the slopes satisfy the perpendicular rule, that means the lines are perpendicular.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice because it states the rule of perpendicularity between the given lines.

Examine the diagram.

A triangle has angles A, 60 degrees, 55 degrees. A line is at the top of the triangle and forms angles B, C, and 65 degrees. Angle C is opposite to angle with measure 60 degrees.

The diagram shows parallel lines cut by two transversal lines creating a triangle. Which statement can be made from the diagram?
mAngleB + mAngleC + 55° = 180°
mAngleA + 60° + 55° = 180°
mAngleC = 55°
mAngleA = 55°

Answers

Answer:

mAngleA + 60° + 55° = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

As two angles of the triangle are 60° and 55°, the measure of ∠A is:

180° - (60° + 55°) = 65°

So the angles C and B measure 60° and 55°.

∠C is opposite to 60°, so is 60° as well, therefore m∠B = 55°

Statements:

mAngleB + mAngleC + 55° = 180°

Incorrect, it gives 170°

mAngleA + 60° + 55° = 180°

Correct as mAngleA is 65°

mAngleC = 55°

Incorrect, it is 60°

mAngleA = 55°

Incorrect, it is 65°

If a boy 5 feet tall casts a shadow 14 feet long, what will be the length of the shadow of a tree that is 25 feet high?

Answers

Answer:

70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be answered by using proportions based on similar triangles.

Notice that a person and its shadow on the ground form a right angle (therefore they can be considered the two "legs" of a right angle triangle)

The same runs for the tree and its shadow.

Since the inclination of the rays of the sun are the same at the same time for both objects (the boy and the tree), their hypothenuses form the same angles with the ground and therefore belong to similar triangles.

We can create the following proportion to solve for the shadow of the tree (ST) using the information provided: the height of the boy (HB), the shadow of the boy (SB), and the height of the tree (HT)

[tex]\frac{SB}{HB} =\frac{ST}{HT}\\\frac{14}{5} =\frac{ST}{25}\\\frac{ST}{25}=\frac{14}{5} \\ST=\frac{14*25}{5}\\ST=70\,\,ft[/tex]

Measure of Angle 2 - m< 2 = m< 4, ( Considering They Are Vertical Angles ),\\m< 2 = 145 degrees\\\\3. Measure of Angle 3 - m< 3 = m< 1, ( Vertical Angles ),\\m< 3 = 35 degrees\\\\4. By Alternate Interior Angles Theorem - m< 5 = m< 3,\\m< 5 = 35 degrees\\\\5. By Vertical Angles Theorem - m< 6 = m< 4,\\m< 6 = 145 degree\\\\[/tex]
