I know of two ways to solve quadratic equations. The first is through factoring. Let us take the example (x^2)+2x+1=0. We can factor this equation out and the factors would be (x+1)(x+1)=0. To solve for the roots, we equate each factor to 0, that is

x+1=0; x+1=0

In this case, the factors are the same so the root of the equation is

x=1.

The other way is to use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is given as [-b(+-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a where, using our sample equation above, a=1, b=2 and c=1. Substitute these to the formula, and you will get the same answer as the method above.

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} }{x} +x(100 - 15x)$

From the question, x=5

So,by substitution,we obtain

$=\frac{2({5}^{2})}{5} +5(100 - 15(5))$

$=\frac{2(25)}{5} +5(100 - 75))$

$=2(5)+5(25)$

$= 10+125$

$= 135$

Hence the answer is 135

The circumference of the equator of a sphere was measured to be 82 82 cm with a possible error of 0.5 0.5 cm. Use linear approxi

True [87]

Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is approximately 8.3083 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference ( $s$ ), in centimeters, and the surface area ( $A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters, of a sphere are represented by following formulas:

$A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot r^{2}$ (1)

$s = 2\pi\cdot r$ (2)

Where $r$ is the radius of the sphere, in centimeters.

By applying (2) in (1), we derive this expression:

$A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot \left(\frac{s}{2\pi} \right)^{2}$

$A_{s} = \frac{s^{2}}{\pi^{2}}$ (3)

By definition of Total Differential, which is equivalent to definition of Linear Approximation in this case, we determine an expression for the maximum error in the calculated surface area ( $\Delta A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters:
