Mathematics

1 answer:

geniusboy [140]2 years ago

4 0

Answer: x = 16, x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| > 0, there are two solutions

|a| = 0, there is one solution

|a| < 0, there are no solutions

So, in this problem, we have two solutions.

In absolute value, the expression inside can be equal to itself OR its opposite.

Ex: |y| = y, |y| = -y

So, we can write two equations:

x - 12 = 4, x = 16

-x+12 = 4, x = 8

Check: |16 - 12| = |4| = 4

Check: |8 - 12| = |-4| = 4

What is the nature of the roots of the quadratic equationsbif the value of its discriminant is 0

scoray [572]

If the discriminant is 0, then you'll have exactly one root. This is a double root since the root repeats itself.

Example: y = (x-5)^2 = x^2-10x+25 has a double root at x = 5

Find the area of a regular hexagon if given a side length of 1.9 to the square root of 3.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

28.137 sq. units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a regular hexagon is

$A=\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}a^2$

where, a is the side length.

It is given that the side length of the regular hexagon is $1.9\sqrt{3}$ .

Substitute $a=1.9\sqrt{3}$ in the above formula.

$A=\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(1.9\sqrt{3})^2$

$A=(1.5\sqrt{3})(10.83)$

$A=16.245\sqrt{3}$

$A=28.137$

Therefore, the area of regular hexagon is 28.137 sq. units.
