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.

What is 2160 minus 1600 long way

lilavasa [31]

Hey there, Lets solve this problem together.

The First step is to line up the numbers.

$= 2160

- 1600$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}$

We calculate $0-0$ the result of which is $0$ 

We calculate $6-0$ the result of which is $6$ .

Since we get a negative number in the next column, we must take 1 from the next column and carry it over to this column. Now the number will be changed to 10.

We calculate $10+1-6$ , and the result is $5$ .

We calculate $2-1-1$ the result of which is $0$ .

Therefore,

$2160 - 1600 = 0560$

A radar gun was used to record the speed of a swimmer (in meters per second) during selected times in the first 2 seconds of a r

Natalka [10]

Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]

the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width

for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8

2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24

3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75

4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7

add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49

5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance
covered 5.49 meters

Let F be the function given by f(x)= 2xe^x. Determine the interval(s) on which the graph is concave down.

Vika [28.1K]

Hello,

y=2xe^x
y'=2(e^x+xe^x)=2(x+1)e^x
y''=2(e^x+(x+1)e^x)=2(x+2)e^x

x |-infinite -2 0 +infinite
e^x | ++++++++++++++++++
x+2 |------------0 +++++++++++
y'' | -----------0 +++++++++++

y''<0 if x<-2
The interval on which the graph is concave down is (-infinite -2[
