I need help answering this question!! Why does the equation (x-4)^2 – 28 = 8 have two solutions?

Mathematics

Answer:

For your first answer it is because they are two different ways to solve the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

For Example!

<h2>Solution 1:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = 8

The 8 is positive making it a different equation (this is like absolute value). (I am assuming you know the answer to the probelm)

<h2>Solution 2:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = -8

The 8 could be negative meaning that when you add the 28 to the right side it is -8+28 which will be a negative!

On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. He used 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plant
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a) 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) She need is \frac{43}{12} kg and she don't have enough to left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4\frac{1}{2} kg of plant food. He used 1\frac{2}{3} kg on his strawberry plants and used \frac{1}{4} kg for his tomato plants.

To find :

a) How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left? Write one or more equations to show how you reached your answer.

Solution :

Sheldon bought plant food 4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2} kg.

He used strawberry plants 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} kg.

He used tomato plants \frac{1}{4} kg

Kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left is given by,

L=\frac{9}{2}-(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4})

L=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{23}{12}

L=\frac{54-23}{12}

L=\frac{31}{12}

L=2\frac{7}{12}

Therefore, 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time. He will use the same amounts of plant food as before. How much plant food will he need? Does he have enough left to do so?

Solution :

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times.

i.e. Strawberry plants used is 2(\frac{5}{3})=\frac{10}{3} kg.

His tomato plants one more time i.e. \frac{1}{4} kg.

Total plant she need is \frac{10}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{43}{12}

As \frac{31}{12}

No she don't have enough to left.

What is the height of the building pictured below if its shadow is 100 ft. long?
Evgen [1.6K]
Yeah.. baby, do the SOH CAH TOA with the hula hoop

\bf &#10;sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% cosine&#10;cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}&#10;&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}&#10;

so.. hmmm we have in the picture, an angle, and two sides,
actually, is the "adjacent" side, and the "opposite"

so.. which  of those ratios give us only
the angle
the adjacent side
the opposite side?

ahhha!, is Ms tangent
so  \bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan(42^o)=\cfrac{h}{100}

solve for "h"

What is m∠V?
Bezzdna [24]
We know that
Applying the law of cosines

c²=a²+b²-2*a*b*cos C------> cos C=[a²+b²-c²]/[2*a*b]

in this problem

a=7.6 in

b=8.6 in

c=7.4 in

C=angle V

 cos C=[7.6²+8.6²-7.4²]/[2*7.6*8.6]----> 0.5887

C=arc cos (0.5887)--------> C=53.93°-------> C=53.9°


the answer is

angle V is 53.9°

1. Charlie bought a new computer for $450 with his credit card. He plans to pay the minimum payment
atroni [7]

Given:

Charlie bought a new computer for $450 with his credit card.

He plans to pay the minimum payment  of $25 per month.

To find:

The rate of change.

Solution:

Let y be the remaining amount of loan after x months.

Initial amount of loan = $450

Payment of one month = $25

Payment of x months = $25x

Now,

Remining amount = Initial amount of loan - Payment of x months

y=450-25x     ...(i)

The slope intercept form is

y=mx+b     ...(ii)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

From (i) and (ii), we get

m=-25

Therefore, the rate of change is -25 dollars.
