How to solve your problem

x^{2}-21=100

Quadratic formula

Factor

1

Move terms to the left side

x^{2}-21=100

x^{2}-21-100=0

2

Subtract the numbers

x^{2}\textcolor{#C58AF9}{-21}\textcolor{#C58AF9}{-100}=0

x^{2}\textcolor{#C58AF9}{-121}=0

3

Use the quadratic formula

x=\frac{-\textcolor{#F28B82}{b}\pm \sqrt{\textcolor{#F28B82}{b}^{2}-4\textcolor{#C58AF9}{a}\textcolor{#8AB4F8}{c}}}{2\textcolor{#C58AF9}{a}}

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

x^{2}-121=0

a=\textcolor{#C58AF9}{1}

b=\textcolor{#F28B82}{0}

c=\textcolor{#8AB4F8}{-121}

x=\frac{-\textcolor{#F28B82}{0}\pm \sqrt{\textcolor{#F28B82}{0}^{2}-4\cdot \textcolor{#C58AF9}{1}(\textcolor{#8AB4F8}{-121})}}{2\cdot \textcolor{#C58AF9}{1}}

4

Simplify

Evaluate the exponent

Multiply the numbers

Add the numbers

Evaluate the square root

Add zero

Multiply the numbers

x=\frac{\pm 22}{2}

5

Separate the equations

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.

x=\frac{22}{2}

x=\frac{-22}{2}

6

Solve

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution

x=11

x=-11

Find two consecutive whole numbers that square root 105 lies between
tatiyna
When you are finding 2 consecutive numbers that a square root falls between, you have to think about what the closest whole numbers are, for example, if you have the sq root of 17, it would fall between 4² (16) and 5² (25).

So, in this case, √105 would fall between 10² (100) and 11² (121)

Fit a quadratic function to these three points:<br> (-2,8), (0, -4), and (4, 68)<br> Respuesta
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

For the point (-2, 8)  ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:

a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8

4a - 2b + c = 8      For (0, -4) we have:

0 + 0 + c = -4   so c = -4.    For (4, 68) we have:

16a + 4b + c = 68  

So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):

4a - 2b - 4 = 8

16a + 4b - 4 = 68

4a - 2b = 12

16a + 4b = 72    Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:

8a - 4b = 24  

Adding the last 2 equations:

24a = 96

a = 4

Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:

4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8

-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4

b = 2.

A boat maker wanted to build a canoe 6 ft long and 2 1/2 wide but decided that those dimensions were too small. The boat maker w
Sati [7]
The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5    with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5    with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8

What is the domain of f?
Sedbober [7]

The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs for the function. For example, the domain of f(x)=x² is all real numbers, and the domain of g(x)=1/x is all real numbers except for x=0.
