Answer:

x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

8 x^2 - 2 x - 15 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.

x = (2 ± sqrt((-2)^2 - 4×8 (-15)))/(2×8) = (2 ± sqrt(4 + 480))/16 = (2 ± sqrt(484))/16:

x = (2 + sqrt(484))/16 or x = (2 - sqrt(484))/16

Simplify radicals.

sqrt(484) = sqrt(4×121) = sqrt(2^2×11^2) = 2×11 = 22:

x = (2 + 22)/16 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 + 22)/16.

(2 + 22)/16 = 24/16 = 3/2:

x = 3/2 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 - 22)/16.

(2 - 22)/16 = -20/16 = -5/4:

Answer: x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Find the area of the parallelogram with vertices: (2,2,0),(5,3,0),(4,7,0),and(7,8,0).

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

13 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the vertices of parallelogram are

A(2,2,0),B(5,3,0),C(4,7,0) and D(7,8,0)

Side AB= $B-A=-=$

Side AD=D-A= $-=$

We know that

Area of parallelogram=Magnitude of product of adjacent sides

$AB\times AD=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&1&0\\5&6&0\end{vmatrix}$

$AB\times AD=$

$\mid AB\times AD\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$

$\mid AB\times AD\mid=\sqrt{0+0+(13)^2}$

Where x=Component along x-axis

y=Component along y- axis

z=Component along z-axis

$\mid AB\times AD\mid=13$ Square units

Hence, the area of parallelogram=13 square units

The point C(2,3) is translated along a vector that is parallel to the line y=3x-2. The translation vector has magnitude square r

qaws [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation vector v can be resolved into its x and y components, where x² + y² = 10 (Pythagoras' Theorem) and y = 3x

(parallel to y = 3x - 2, slope = 3).

We have x² + (3x)² = 10,

=> x² + 9x² = 10, 10x² = 10, x = 1 or x = -1.

When x = 1, y = 3. When x = -1, y = -3.

Therefore 2 possible translation vectors

are (1, 3) or (-1, -3).

First new C' = (2 + (1), 3 + (3)) = (3, 6).

Second new C'= (2 + (-1), 3 + (-3)) = (1, 0).

The possible images are (3, 6) and (1, 0).
