What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 7 = 0, where x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c all over 2 times a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}[/tex]  or  [tex]x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0[/tex]

Required

Solve for x using:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

First, we need to identify a, b and c

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

So, by comparison with [tex]x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex]     [tex]b = -5[/tex]      [tex]c = -7[/tex]

Substitute these values of a, b and c in

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-(-5) \± \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * -7}}{2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{25 +28}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{53}}{2}[/tex]

Split the expression to two

[tex]x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}[/tex]  or  [tex]x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}[/tex]

To solve further in decimal form, we have

[tex]x = \frac{5 + 7.28}{2}[/tex]  or  [tex]x = \frac{5 - 7.28}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12.28}{2}[/tex]  or  [tex]x = \frac{-2.28}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 6.14[/tex] or [tex]x = -1.14[/tex]

Find the simple interest earned for principal of $2,000 at and 8% rate for 5 years.

Answers

Answer:

$2800.00

Step-by-step explanation:

A total accrued amount 800 = principal (P) $2000 + interest (I)

R Rate of interest per year decimal - 0.08

X Rate of interest per year percentage - 8%

T time period months or years - 5 years

Equation will be A = P (1 + RT)

first convert X to R = percentage to decimal

X = R/100 = 8%/100 = 0.08 per year

Solving:

A = 2000 (1 + (0.08 x 5)) = 2800

A = $2800

On a​ team, 6 girls and 5 boys scored a total of 57 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 6 girls and the number of points scored by the 5 boys is 27. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. Find the number of points scored by each girl and each boy.

Answers

Answer:

The number of points scored by girls = x = 7 points

The number of points scored by boys = y = 3 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of points scored by girls = x

The number of points scored by boys = y

On a​ team, 6 girls and 5 boys scored a total of 57 points.

6 × x + 5 × y = 57

6x + 5y = 57....... Equation 1

The difference between the number of points scored by the 6 girls and the number of points scored by the 5 boys is 27.

6x - 5y = 27.......... Equation 2

6x + 5y = 57....... Equation 1

6x - 5y = 27.......... Equation 2

We Add the Equations together

12x = 84

x = 84/12

x = 7 points

6x + 5y = 57....... Equation 1

6(7) + 5y = 57

42 + 5y = 57

5y = 57 - 42

5y = 15

y = 15/5

y = 3 points

Hence:

The number of points scored by girls = x = 7 points

The number of points scored by boys = y = 3 points

PLA ANSWER I DONT KNOW THIS

Answers

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

I can give you two solutions

First solution:

In [tex]\triangle FBA[/tex] we know that

[tex]\angle BFA + \angle FAB + \angle ABF=180\\\\90+x+\angle ABF =180\\\\\angle ABF =90-x[/tex]

same case for [tex]\angle EBC[/tex] in [tex]\triangle ECB[/tex]

so we have that

[tex]\angle ABC = \angle ABF + \angle FBE +\angle EBC\\\\\angle ABC = 90-x+45+90-x\\\\\angle ABC = 180+45-2x[/tex]

we leave it like that because it's convenient

Now by properties of parallelograms we know that opposite sides add up to 180

[tex]\angle FAB + \angle ABC = 180\\\\x+180+45-2x=180\\\\x+45-2x=0\\\\45-x=0\\\\x=45[/tex]

so one angle is 45  and the other one is 135

Solution 2

if we look at DEBF we can say that it's a cyclic quadrilateral

because opposite sides add up to 180

in our case

[tex]\angle DFB = 180 -\angle BFA = 180-90 = 90\\\\\angle DEB = 90\\\\\Rightarrow \angle DFB + \angle DEB = 180\\\\[/tex]

so for the other to angles is also true

[tex]\angle FDE + \angle EBF = 180\\\\\angle FDE +45 = 180\\\\\angle FDE = 135[/tex]

so that's the measure of one angle of the parallelogram

the other angle x is

[tex]\angle EDF + \angle FAB = 180\\\\135+x=180\\\\x=45[/tex]

A shop keeper purchased 200 bulbs for Rs.10 each. However 5 bulbs were fused and had to
be thrown away. The remaining were sold at Rs.12 each. Find the gain or loss %

Answers

Answer: 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

A shop keeper purchased 200 bulbs for Rs.10 each. Therefore, the cost price:

= 200 × 10

= 2000

Since 5 bulbs were fused and had to

be thrown away and the remaining were sold at Rs.12 each. Therefore, selling price would be:

= 195 × 12

= 2340

Gain would be:

= 2340 - 2000

= 340

Gain percent would be:

= Gain / Cost price × 100

= 340/2000 × 100

= 17%

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points)

(10 points)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

for f(x) slope between points (-1,-6) and (1,0)

m= y2-y1/x2-x1 = -6-0/-1-1 = -6/-2= 3

for g(x) slope m=4 because we compare to equation y=mx+b the given equation g(x)=4x-5

The slope of f(x) is 3 and the slope g(x) is 4 so the line of g(x) is steeper

part B

The y intercept for g(x) is  (0, -5)

The equation of f(x) can be found

y-y1 =m(x-x1) take any point for example point (1,0)

y-1 =3(x-0)

y=3x+1 so the y-intercept is at (0,1)

The y-intercept for f(x) is greater at y=1 then the one of g(x) at y=-5
