Answer:

Below in BOLD.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^2 - 6x - 2 = 0

Quadratic formula for ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is

x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)]/ 2a

Here we have a = 5, b = -6 and c = -2

so x = [-(-6) ± √((-6)^2 - 4*5*-2)]/ 2*5

= [ 6 ± √(36 + 40)] / 10

= 0.6 ± √76 / 10

= 0.6 ± 0.8718

= 1.4718, -0.2718

= 1.5, -0.3 to one decimal place.

x^2 + 3x = 40

x^2 + 3x - 40 = 0

We can factor this one:

(x - 5)(x + 8) = 0

x - 5 = 0 giving x = 5 and

x + 8 = 0 giving x = -8.

Answer x = -8, 5.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$B''C''=3BC$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length of segment B''C'' is equal to the length of segment BC multiplied by the scale factor

step 1

Find the length of segment BC

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the points

B(1,-3),C(-3,-3)

substitute the values

$BC=\sqrt{(-3+3)^{2}+(-3-1)^{2}}$

$BC=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BC=4\ units$

The segment B''C'' is equal to the segment BC multiplied by the scale factor

The scale factor is 3

$B''C''=BC(3)$

$B''C''=3BC$

substitute

$B''C''=3(4)=12\ units$

Identify the conic that is formed by the intersection of the plane described and the double-napped cone.

DerKrebs [107]

<h3>Answer: B) hyperbola</h3>

If the cutting plane was parallel to the circular base of the cones, then we would have a circular cross section (assuming the plane doesnt cut through the vertex). However, we're told than the plane intersects both nappes, or cones, so it's not possible for the plane to be parallel to the base faces. We can rule out choice A.

We can rule out choice C and choice D for similar reasons. An ellipse only forms if the plane only cuts through one cone only, which is the same story for a parabola as well.
