Answer:

\large {\textsf{A and C}}\ \implies x_1=-2,\ x_2=-\dfrac{3}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we can use two methods to solve for the values of x (roots) of the given equation. Those methods are: using the quadratic formula and factoring.

Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0

<u>Given equation:</u> 2x² + 7x + 6 = 0

⇒ a = 2, b = 7, c = 6

Method 1: Using the Quadratic Formula

<u>Quadratic Formula:</u> x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

<u>Step 1:</u> Substitute the values of <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> into the quadratic formula.

\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2-4(2)(6)}}{2(2)}\\\\

<u>Step 2:</u> Simplify

\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{7^2}-4(2)(6)}}{\bold{2(2)}}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4\bold{(2)(6)}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{49\bold{-4(12)}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{49-48}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{1}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm1}{4}

<u>Step 3:</u> Separate into two possible cases and solve for the values of x.

\implies x_1=\dfrac{-7-1}{4}\implies \dfrac{-8}{4}\implies \boxed{-2}\\\\\implies x_2=\dfrac{-7+1}{4}\implies \dfrac{-6}{4}\implies\boxed{-\dfrac{3}{2}}

Method 2: Solve by Factoring

In order to be able to solve this equation by factoring, let's rewrite the <em>middle term</em> by finding the factors that give a product of the first and last terms (a • c = 12) and give us the sum of the middle term (b = 7).

Factors that give a product of a • c: <em>4 • 3</em> = 12

Factors that give a sum of b: <em>4 + 3</em> = 7

<u>Step 1:</u> Rewrite the given equation with those factors.

2x² + 7x + 6 = 0

⇒ 2x² + 4x + 3x + 6 = 0

<u>Step 2:</u> Factor out 2x and 3.

(2x² + 4x) + (3x + 6) = 0

⇒ 2x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 [ Factor out the the common factor. ]

⇒ (2x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

<u>Step 3:</u> Apply the <em>Zero-Product Property</em> (if m•n = 0, then m = 0 or n = 0).

a) 2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = -3 ⇒ x = -³⁄₂

b) x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2

Therefore, the two roots of this equation are x = -³⁄₂ and x = -2.

Answer:

x = -3/2, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 7x + 6 = 0

(2x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

(2x + 3)

2x = -3

x = -3/2

(x + 2)

x = -2

Find the height of the prism if the length is 9 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the volume of the prism is 315 cubic inches.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Height of prism = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of prism.

Hence,

h =  \frac{vol \: of \: prism}{l \times w}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{9 \times 5}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{45}  \\   \\ h= 7 \: inches

Can someone please help me with this problem
Serjik [45]

Answer:

1. 35

2. 145

3. 55

4. 90

5. 145

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 35: angle 1 and 2 are a linear pair (meaning it is in one line and adds to 180). Since we know angle 2 is 145, ∠1 = 180 - 145

∠1 = 35

2. 145: ∠7 = ∠2 because they are alternate angles and alternate angles are equal

3. 55: ∠7 = ∠5 + ∠4 because vertically opposite angles are equal. We know that ∠5 = 90, hence ∠4 would equal 145 - 90 = 55

4. ∠5 = 90. It is given

5. 145: ∠9 = ∠2 because they are vertically opposite
