Maya is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Mathematics
1 answer:
kvasek [131]1 year ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.

but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".

we want to find

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²

and now we compare with the original equation :

a²x² = 4x²

a² = 4

a = 2

2abx = 16x

2×2×bx = 16x

4b = 16

b = 4

b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.

so, our equation is

(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0

(2x + 4)² = 13

2x + 4 = sqrt(13)

2x = sqrt(13) - 4

x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2

Jake earns $12 for each hour worked. The equation y = 12x can be used to model this situation, where x represents the number of
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: y is the dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a function is a rule for taking an input and providing an output.

A symbol that stands for an arbitrary input is called an independent variable.

A symbol that stands for an output that depends on the value of a independent variable is called a dependent variable.

y = 12x  } Function

x is the independent variable = arbitrary number of hours worked.

y is the dependent variable because depends on the value of x.

Need help with this plz
madreJ [45]

Answer:

4. x = 16.8

5. x = 35.98

Step-by-step explanation:

For both triangles that you need to work on, use the trigonometric function which is tan and you are dividing opposite by adjacent for the answers.

For number 4, the equation you are setting up is tan 35 = x/24.  Multiply 24 on both sides to get the answer which is 16.8 for the x side.

For number 5, the equation you are setting up is tan 17 = 11/x.  As a result on your calculator, you should get 35.98 for the x side.
