Answer:

x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}

or

x = \frac{\pm4\sqrt{15}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Use the quadratic formula: x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

First, let's convert our equation to standard form of a Quadratic: ax² + bx + c = 0

3x² = 80

3x² - 80 = 0

Note, thats the value of b will be 0, as there is no "bx"

Now, solve:

  • x = \frac{-(0) \pm \sqrt{(0)^2 - 4(3)(-80)}}{2(3)}        Plug in values
  • x = \frac{\pm\sqrt{960}}{6}                              Simplify the radical (Discriminant)
  • x = \frac{\pm8\sqrt{15}}{6}                              Pull out perfect squares
  • x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}              Reduce factors

 

The solutions are x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}

Cidnee is weighing combinations of geometric solids. She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces and that 1 cylinder
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:

i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>

4\cdot x +5\cdot y = 32\,oz (Eq. 1)

ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>

x + 8\cdot y = 35\,oz (Eq. 2)

Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot y

(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):

4\cdot (35-8\cdot y) + 5\cdot y = 32

140-32\cdot y +5\cdot y = 32

32\cdot y - 5\cdot y = 140-32

27\cdot y = 108

y = 4\,oz

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot (4)

x = 35 - 32

x = 3\,oz

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Factoring trinomials
Tcecarenko [31]

c^22c^2 + 13c +21 \\4c^2 + 13(2)c + 42\\(2c + 6)(2c+7)\\(c+3)(2c+7)


This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).

Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying  c^2. This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 4c^2, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 4c^2 + 13(2) c + 42 = (2c + ?) (2c + ?)

In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have (2c + 6) (2c +7)

The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.
