Solve x^2 + 6x = 7 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation? {–7, 1}

Mathematics

marishachu [46]2 years ago
3 0

Add 9 to both sides to form a perfect square trinomial:

x² + 6x = 7

x² + 6x + 9 = 16

x² + 2•x•3 + 3² = 16

(x + 3)² = 16

(recall that (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²)

Now solve for x. Taking square roots on both sides, we get

x + 3 = ± √16

x + 3 = ± 4

x = -3 ± 4

so the two solutions are x = -7 and x = 1.

Two particles are projected simultaneously towards each other from opposite ends of a straight
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The problem with this question is that it is missing an important number, which is the length of the tube. Assuming that the tube is 10 meters long (=1,000 centimeters long)

time (in        distance traveled         distance traveled       distance

seconds)     by particle A in cms     by particle B in cms    between both

                                                                                              particles in cms

1                               97                            49                     854

2                               93                            47                     714

3                               89                            45                     580

4                               85                            43                     452

5                               81                            41                     330

6                               77                            39                     214

7                               73                            37                     104

8                               69                            35                     0

   

After 8 seconds both particles should meet. Particle A traveled 664 centimeters and particle B traveled 336 centimeters.

What is the equation for the line of symmetry in this figure?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of symmetry is the line along which the figure could be rotated and nothing would change (the orig. figure and the reflected figure would overlap completely). You see the midpoint of the left side of the figure is (-2,3) while the midpoint of the right side of the figure is (1,3). This would make the line passing through these two y = 3

Answer:

  neither; they are the same distance from the line

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of point (x, y) from line ax+by+c=0 is given by ...

  d = |ax +by +c|/(√a² +b²)

Since we're using the same line for both points, we only need to evaluate ...

  d = |ax +by +c|

Subtracting y can put the equation in the desired form:

  1/2x -y +4 = 0

__

For point A, the expression of interest evaluates to ...

  |(1/2)(-2) -(6) +4| = |-1-6+4| = 3

For point B, the expression of interest evaluates to ...

  |(1/2)(4) -(3) +4| = |2-3+4| = 3

These values tell us the points are the same distance from the line.

_____

The attached graph shows that circles of the same radius centered on A and B are both tangent to the line. Hence the distances are the same.
