Solve the quadratic equations by completing the square. x^2-4x=-1

Answer:

2 ± √3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solving quadratic equation by completing squares:  </h3>

           x² - 4x = -1

  • Divide the coefficient of x by 2.

                 4 ÷ 2 = 2

  •  Now, square the result and add that to both sides of the equation.

          2² = 2* 2 = 4

          x² - 4x + 4 = -1 + 4

          x² - 4x + 4 = 3

         x² - 2 * x * 2 + 2² = 3

  •     Compare it with a² - 2ab + b² . Now , a = x and b = 2

            (x - 2)² = 3

  •     Take square root both sides

             x - 2 = ±√3

                    x = 2 ± √3

<h3>Solutions: x = 2 +√3   ;  2 - √3</h3>

Find the derivative of the function. y = sin−1(6x + 1)
liraira [26]

If you don't know the derivative of the inverse of sine, you can use implicit differentiation. Apply sine to both sides:

y=\sin^{-1}(6x+1)\implies\sin y=6x+1

(true for <em>y</em> between -π/2 and π/2)

Now take the derivative of both sides and solve for it:

\cos y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=6

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=6\sec y

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac6{\cos\left(\sin^{-1}(6x+1)\right)}

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac6{\sqrt{1-(6x+1)^2}}

a box of crackers has a volume of 48 cubic inches. what is the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3
earnstyle [38]
For this case what you need to know is that the original volume of the cookie box is:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 h: height.
 We have then:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h) = 48 in ^ 3
 The volume of a similar box is:
 V = (w * (2/3)) * (l * (2/3)) * (h * (2/3))
 We rewrite:
 V = ((w) * (l) * (h)) * ((2/3) * (2/3) * (2/3))
 V = (w) * (l) * (h) * ((2/3) ^ 3)
 V = 48 * ((2/3) ^ 3)
 V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
 Answer:
 the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3 is:
 V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3

two hundred tickets for the school play were sold. tickets cost $2 for students and $3 for adults. the total amount collected wa
Gre4nikov [31]
A system of equations is good for a problem like this.
Let x be the number of student tickets sold
Let y be the number of adult tickets sold
x + y = 200
2x + 3y = 490
x = 200 - y
2(200 - y) + 3y = 490
400 - 2y + 3y = 490
400 + y = 490
y = 90
The number of adult tickets sold was 90.
x + 90 = 200 --> x = 110
2x + 3(90) = 490 --> 2x + 270 = 490 --> 2x = 220 --> x = 110
The number student tickets sold was 110.
