Solve each equation 3x^2=80

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}

4. Name the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = -35, d=4​
eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1) and we are given enough info to fill in:

a_n=-35+4(n-1) and

a_n=-35+4n-4 and

a_n=-39+4n or in linear format:

a_n=4n-39 where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.

The second term:

a_2=4(2)-39 so

a_2=8-39 and

a_2=-31

The third term:

a_3=4(3)-39 and

a_3=12-39 so

a_3=-27 and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.

That means that the fourth term will be -27 + 4 which is -23.

The fifth term then will be -23 + 4 which is -19. You can check yourself by filling in a 5 for n in the equation and solving:

a_5=4(5)-39 and

a_5=20-39 so

a_5=-19

geniusboy [140]
Not sure if this is very clear
Patty = 45.8%
Bun = 20.8%
Cheese = 8.3%
Sauce = 12.5%
Pickles = 4.2%
Veggies = 8.3%

EXPLANATION :

The equation to find a percentage is part(the broken down calories) over whole ( the total calories) is equal to % which we replace with x (since we’re trying to find the %) over 100 because all percents are out of 100. So for simple terms, p/w = %/100.
What I did was put 550/1200 = x/100, cross multiply, leaving you with 1200x=55000, then divide 55000/1200, giving you 45.8.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

He would get there at 1:15 (I did this in my head, may be wrong)

Step by step solution:

We know the motorist left home at 10. We can divide the 260/80 and we get 3 hrs, we still have 20 km left over, keep on dividing and you get 1:15 p.m.

ILL MARK AS BRAINLIST IF U GET IT RIGHT it’s khan
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y are proportional, they can be expressed as y = rx, where r is the proportionality constant. Thus, we can solve for r by doing y/x in any given point.

\frac{8}{1.6} = \frac{15}{3}  = \frac{22}{4.4} = 5
