Hey there!

x^2 + x = 12

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

x^2 + x - 12 = 12 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!
x^2 + x - 12 = 0

SET the FACTORS to EQUAL to 0

x - 3 = 0 OR x + 4 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 3 or x = -4

Therefore, the answer is:

x = 3 or x = -4

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:

x = 4 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ x² + x = 12

⇒ x² + x - 12 = 0

⇒ x² + 3x - 4x - 12 = 0

⇒ x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ x = 4 and x = -3

Anne wants to fill 12 hanging baskets with compost. Each hanging basket is a hemisphere of diameter 40 cm.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

determine the volume of the 12 basket

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = 40/2 = 20 cm

volume of one hemisphere = (2/3) x (22/7) x (20^3) = 16,761.90 cm^3

volume of the 12 baskets = 16,761.90 cm^3 x 12 = 201,142.86 cm^

2. convert the litres of compost to cm and multiply by the total bags of compost

1 litre = 1000cm

1 bag of compost = 50 x 1000 = 50,000

4 bags of compost = 50,000 x 4 = 200,000 cm

3. compare which figure is higher. the figure gotten in step 1 or 2

201,142.86 cm^3 is greater than 200,000

there is no enough compost

angle 0 is in quadrant 1 with sin0 = 2/5. Use the Pythagorean identity, sin^2 0 + cos^2 0 = 1, to calculate the value of cos0 as

Gwar [14]

We know that
sin²x+cos²x=1
so
clear cos x
cos x=(+/-)√[1-sin²x]

in this problem
Angle 0 is in quadrant 1 -----> cos o and sin o are positive
sin o=2/5
cos x=√[1-(2/5)²]----> cos o=√[1-4/25]----> cos o=√[21/25]---> cos o=√21/5

the answer is
cos o=√21/5
