2x^2 − 5x − 1 = 0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.69 or x = -0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x² − 5x − 1 = 0

x = {-b ± √b² - 4ac} / 2a

a = 2

b = -5

c = -1

x = {-b ± √b² - 4ac} / 2a

= {-(-5) ± √(-5)² - 4(2)(-1)} / 2 * 2

= {5 ± √25 - (-8)} / 4

= {5 ± √25 + 8} / 4

= 5 ± √33 / 4

= 5 ± 5.75 /4

x = 5/4 + 5.75/4 or x = 5/4 - 5.75/4

x = 10.75/4 or x = -0.75/4

x = 2.69 or x = -0.19

A square pyramid has a base with a side length
of 8 feet and lateral faces with heights of 6 feet.
What is the lateral area of the pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

160.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the base is 64 since each side is 8, 8x8 is equal to 64. Then you have the lateral faces with a length of 8, and a height of 6, which is 48, but since they are triangles, you divide by 2, finally add 24+24+24+24+64 and your final answer is 160.

Answer: Choice D

=====================================================

Explanation:

A sequence is simply a list of values. There may or may not be a pattern to the list, though usually in a math class your teacher would use a pattern.

A series is where we add partial sums of a certain sequence to form a new sequence. For example, let's say A = {44, 44, 44, ...} is one sequence and we could form a list of partial sums to be B = {44, 88, 132, ...} The 88 is from adding the first two terms of sequence A together. The 132 is from adding the first three terms of sequence A. This process is continued forever.

For a series to be convergent, the terms must approach some finite single value. They likely won't actually reach this value but they should get closer and closer (think of it like an asymptote). When I formed series B shown above, note how the terms keep growing. It turns out they won't stop growing either and that means the series diverges to positive infinity. So we rule out choice B. The same happens for choices A and C as well.

To make sure the series approaches some finite value, the underlying sequence its based on must have the terms approaching 0. Choice D seems to have this happen. The terms of the sequence are getting smaller and smaller. Adding on smaller pieces will produce terms in a series that would likely get us closer to some finite target.

Keep in mind that not all decreasing sequences have a converging series. A famous example would be the harmonic sequence {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...} which its series does not converge. The proof of this lengthy so I'll leave it out.

In the case of choice D, it is a geometric sequence with a = 120 as the starting term and r = 0.8 as the common ratio. The series converges to

S = a/(1-r) = 120/(1-0.8) = 600

What is the exact time t, in years, needed for the balance of an account that earns 5% annual 8. Interest compounded continuously to triple?

Answers

Answer:

It takes 22.52 years for the balance to triple in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous compounding:

The amount of money earned using continuous compounding is given by the following equation:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount of money and r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

Interest rate of 5%.

This means that [tex]r = 0.05[/tex], and thus:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1+0.05)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1.05)^t[/tex]

Time for the balance to triple?

This is t for which [tex]A(t) = 3A(0)[/tex]. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1.05)^t[/tex]

[tex]3A(0) = A(0)(1.05)^t[/tex]

[tex](1.05)^t = 3[/tex]

[tex]\log{(1.05)^t} = \log{3}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{1.05} = \log{3}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{3}}{\log{1.05}}[/tex]

[tex]t =  22.52[/tex]

It takes 22.52 years for the balance to triple in value.

Consider angle θ in Quadrant II, where sinθ = 4/5 . What is the value of cosθ?

Answers

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse

4/5=opposite/hypotenuse

therefore opposite=4 and hypotenuse=5

for adjacent

using pythagoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

opposite^2 + adjacent^2 =hypotenuse^2

4^2 + adjacent^2 =5^2

16 + adjacent^2 =25

adjacent^2 =25-16

adjacent =[tex]\sqrt{9[/tex]

adjacent=3

cos theta=adjacent/hypotenuse

=3/5

therefore the value of cos theta is 3/5

B. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5

C. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 3.5 and 4.0

D. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 3.5 and 4.0

Answers

Answer:

(B). between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

If the value of the function is 0 at x=c, then c is a root or zero of the function. It means the graph of function intersects the x-axis at its zeroes.

From the given table it is clear that the value of function are

 x   |  f(x)  |   Sign

2.0 |  2.8  | Positive  

2.5 |  1.1    | Positive

3.0 | –0.8 | Negative

3.5 | –1.2  | Negative

4.0 | –0.3 | Negative

4.5 |  0.7  | Positive

The sign of values of function changes in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. It means the graph of function must intersect the x-axis in intervals 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. So, the zeros of the function lie between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Solve the equation 6x^2 + 15x + 3= 2x^2 to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in the given equation, by subtracting 2x^2 from both sides:

6x^2 + 15x + 3 = 2x^2

-2x^2                = -2x^2

x = ---------------------------

Here the coefficients of the quadratic are a = 4, b = 15 and c = 3.

Thus, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is 15^2 - 4(4)(3), or +177

and from that we know we'll find two real, unequal roots.

What are trig ratios?

If you know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, you can use trigonometric ratios to estimate the measures of one (or both) of the acute angles.

In a right triangle, the tangent of one of the acute angles is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. In this case, we are looking for the tangent of ∠I.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the third side, HJ, of the right triangle:

HI² = HJ² + IJ²

5² = 4² + 3²

25 = 16 + 9

tan(∠I) = opposite/adjacent = HJ/ JI = 4/3

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:

tan(∠I) ≈ 1.33

Therefore, if the triangle is possible, the value of the tangent of ∠I is 1.33.

Answer: The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5)(2x-1)=3(x+5)

Multiply the parentheses

2x^2 - x + 10x - 5 = 3x + 15

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 9x - 5 = 3x + 15

Move the expression to the left hand side and change its sign, then equate it to 0

2x^2 + 9x - 5 - 3x -15 = 0

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 6x - 20 = 0

Divide each term of the equation by 2

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Rewrite the expression in factorized form

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = 0

Factor the expression

x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) (x - 2) = 0

Separate into possible cases but when the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0.

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

x - 2 = 0———-equation (2)

Solve the equations

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

Make x the subject

x = 0 - 5

x = -5

x - 2 = 0———equation (2)

Make x the subject

x = 0 + 2

x = 2

Hence, the possible values of x are -5 and 2.

What is rational function equation?

A rational equation can be defined as an equation that involves at least one rational expression

A rational function is a function of the form f( x )=P( x ) / Q( x ) ,

f( x ) = P( x ) / Q( x ) , where P( x ) and Q( x ) are both polynomials.

A rational function f ( x )=P( x ) / Q( x )

f( x ) = P( x ) / Q( x ) may have a vertical asymptote

The domain is the set of all real numbers for which Q( x ) ≠ 0

Given data ,

Let the rational equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

( 3 / ( x²+5x+6 ) ) + ( ( x-1) / (x+2) ) = 7 / (x+3)   be equation (1)

On simplifying , we get

A rational function is a function of the form f( x )=P( x ) / Q( x ) ,

f( x ) = P( x ) / Q( x ) , where P( x ) and Q( x ) are both polynomials.

So , multiplying both sides by ( x²+5x+6 ) , we get

3 + x² + 2x - 3 = 7x + 14   be equation (2)

On further simplification , we get

x² - 5x - 14 = 0

On factorizing the equation , we get

x² - 7x + 2x - 14 = 0

Taking the common factors , we get

x ( x - 7 ) + 2 ( x - 7 ) = 0

( x + 2 ) ( x - 7 ) = 0

So , the two solutions of x are x = 7 and x = -2

Hence , the solutions of rational equation are x = 7 and x = -2
