2x²-5x-12=0 (simplify solution set)

Answer:

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.

So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's find a, b, c:

  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

Now let's solve the equation.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x^2−5x−12=0

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12

2x^2+−5x+−12=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

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

x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-12)} }{2(2)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{121} }{4}

x=4 or x=\frac{-3}{2}

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2

-6= b/18 please help me solve it
irina [24]
-6 = \frac{b}{18}   Multiply both sides by 18
-108 = b   Switch the sides to make it easier to read
b = -108

13+(x+8) plz i need help
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

21+x

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this does not equal anything, we can't solve for x. Instead, we can just simplify the equation. Since there is a + sign to the left of the parentheses, it shows that we do not need to distribute.

13+(x+8)

21+x

Hope this helps!! Have a nice day ^^

A diver is standing on a platform 24 feet above the pool. He dives form the platform with an initial upward velocity of 8 feet p
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

It should be t = 1.5 seconds  if your equation is  h(t)  = -16*t^2 + 8t + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t)  = -16*t^2 + 8t + 24

We want  to solve for t when h(t) = 0.

This is a parabolic equation so basically we can use the quadratic formula to solve this.

h(t)  = -16*t^2 + 8t + 24

0 = h(t)  = -16*t^2 + 8t + 24

take out the 8

0 = -2t^2 + t + 3

0 = -2t*t  - 2t  + 3t + 3

0 = -2t * (t + 1)  +  3*( t + 1)

0 = (-2t + 3) * ( t + 1)

so time cannot be negative, so we choose  0 = (-2t + 3),   t = 3/2 seconds

or  t = 1.5 seconds
