How do I solve x² - 10x-3=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
evablogger [386]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 5±2√7

Step-by-step explanation:

This quadratic cannot be factorised via the factorisation method, so we use the quadratic formula :

x = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} or x = \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

(The reason I did 2 equations is because brainliest does not allow me to do the ± in the equation insert thing )

x = \frac{-(-10) + \sqrt{-10^{2} -4(1)(-3)} }{2(1)} or x = \frac{-(-10) - \sqrt{-10^{2} -4(1)(-3)} }{2(1)}

x = \frac{10  + \sqrt{100+12} }{2} or x= \frac{10  - \sqrt{100+12} }{2}

x = \frac{10  + {4\sqrt{7}} }{2} or x = \frac{10  -  {4\sqrt{7}} }{2}

x = 5+2\sqrt{7} or x = 5 -2\sqrt{7}

Hope this helped and brainliest please

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x^2 - 12x +19                Put brackets around the  1st 2 terms. Take 2

y = 2(x^2 - 6x ) + 19             Take 1/2 of the 6 square it and add inside the brackets

y = 2(x^2 - 6 + (6/2)^2) +19 Subtract 2 *9 from the 19. Express 1st 3 terms as ( )^2

y = 2(x- 3)^2 + 19 - 18

y = 2(x - 3)^2 + 1

Answers

y intercept when x = 0 is y = 19

axis of symmetry x = 3

vertex: (3,1)

Help! Is it parallel, perpendicular, or neither? Thanks *ignore handwriting*
Digiron [165]
These lines are perpendicular!
y = x
y = -x–2
The slopes are reciprocals of each other, so they are perpendicular.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Complete Question:

Pick a city in Maryland and determine the average high temperatures for each month. Record this in a table.

a. Create a box-and-whisker plot for the data.

b. What is the median temperature?

c. 75%of the temperatures are below what value?How  do you know? d. 75% of the temperatures are above what value? How do you know? e. What conclusions can you draw about the temperature in Maryland?

Step-by-step explanation:

TASK 3

The city picked is Baltimore, the year 2017.

The table is attached in picture #1.

a) The box-and-whisker plot is attached in picture #2.

b) The median is the central value of the distribution i.e:  

42.4, 45.3, 46.8 | 54.7, 57.6, 66.0 | 69.1,  76.5,  80.6 | 85.8, 87.8, 90.0 

where we marked with a tally the quartiles.

As we have 12 values,  the average between the two central values will be the median :

M = (66.0 + 69.1) / 2 = 67.1 °F

c) 75% of the temperatures are below 83.2 °F.

Indeed, this value represents the third quartile. The position of the third quartile can be found by the formula:

3/4 · (n + 1) = 3/4 · (12 + 1) = 3/4 · 13 = 9.75

Therefore, since we did not get in integer position, the third quartile will be the average between the numbers in position 9 and 10:

q₀.₇₅ = (80.6 + 85.8) / 2 = 83.2 °F

d) 75% of the temperatures are above 50.8 °F.

Indeed, this value represents the first quartile. Similarly to point c), the position can be found by the formula:

1/4 · (n + 1) = 1/4 · 13 = 3.25

And therefore:

q₀.₂₅ = (46.8 + 54.7) / 2 = 50.8 °F. 

e) Baltimore in 2017 had a median high temperature of 67.1 °F.

25% of the year the high temperatures were warmer than 83.2 °F, with no outlier above 90.0 °F which was the hottest temperature.

25% of the high temperatures were colder than 50.8 °F, with no outlier below 42.4 °F, which was the coldest high temperature.
