What is the solution to the equation below? √x-4=x-10

Mathematics
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Isolate the square root on the left hand side

 Radical already isolated

  √x-4 = x-10

Step 2: Eliminate the radical on the left hand side

Raise both sides to the second power

    (√x-4)2 = (x-10)2

    After squaring

    x-4 = x2-20x+100

Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation

    Rearranged equation

    x2  - 21x  + 104 = 0

    This equation has two rational roots:

      {x1, x2}={13, 8}

Step 4: Check that the first solution is correct

    Original equation

    √x-4 = x-10

    Plug in 13 for  x

     √(13)-4 = (13)-10

     Simplify

     √9 = 3

     Solution checks !!

    Solution is:

     x = 13

Step 5: Check that the second solution is correct

    Original equation

    √x-4 = x-10

    Plug in 8 for  x

     √(8)-4 = (8)-10

     Simplify

     √4 = -2

     Solution does not check

     2 ≠ -2

One solution was found :

     x = 13

Let W be part of the solid sphere of radius 4, centered at the origin, that lies above the plane z = 2. Set up an integral in cy
andriy [413]

Answer:

V = ∫∫∫rdrdθdz integrating from z = 2 to z = 4, r = 0 to √(16 - z²) and θ = 0 to 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the radius of the sphere R = 4, we have R² = r² + z² where r = radius of cylinder in z-plane and z = height² of cylinder.

So, r = √(R² - z²)

r = √(4² - z²)

r = √(16 - z²)

Since the region is above the plane z = 2, we integrate z from z = 2 to z = R = 4

Our volume integral in cylindrical coordinates is thus

V = ∫∫∫rdrdθdz integrating from z = 2 to z = 4, r = 0 to √(16 - z²) and θ = 0 to 2π

Find the horizontal asymptote of of the graph of y=(-3x^6+5x+3)/9x^6+6x+4
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

  y = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

As x gets large, the value of the expression approaches the ratio of the highest-degree terms in numerator and denominator:

  y = -3x^6/(9x^6) = -3/9

  y = -1/3

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.
stellarik [79]

well, looking at the picture of this vertically opening parabola, it has a vertex at 0,0 and it passes through 2,1 hmm ok

~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ y = a(x-0)^2+0\qquad \stackrel{\textit{we also know that}}{x=2\qquad y = 1}\qquad \implies 1=a(2-0)^2+0 \\\\\\ 1=4a\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=a~\hspace{10em} \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{4}x^2}

Estimate the answer to 26.6 x 24.4/ 5.67 x 4.02.
NeTakaya
For this question, we must use BIDMAS

Brackets
Indices
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

26.6  x  24.4  /  5.67  x 4.02

First, round all the values to their first significant figure

30 x 20 / 6 x 4

The first occurring operation in BIDMAS is Division
20/6 = 3 1/3

Now do the multiplication

30 x 3 1/3 x 4 = 400

Or you can round to the nearest whole number (although it can be more difficult if doing sums in your head)

27 x 24 / 6 x 4
27 x 4 x 4
27 x 16 = 432

The more accurately you round, the closer the estimation is to the actual answer (≈460)

1 Sig Fig = 400
Whole number = 432
