Answer:

x=\dfrac{3+ \sqrt{29}}{2}, \quad \dfrac{3- \sqrt{29}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Formula</u>

x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0

<u>Given quadratic equation</u>:

x^2-3x-5=0

<u>Define the variables</u>:

\implies a=1, \quad b=-3, \quad c=-5

<u>Substitute</u> the defined variables into the quadratic formula and <u>solve for x</u>:

\implies x=\dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)}

\implies x=\dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+20}}{2}

\implies x=\dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}

Therefore, the exact solutions to the given <u>quadratic equation</u> are:

x=\dfrac{3+ \sqrt{29}}{2}, \quad \dfrac{3- \sqrt{29}}{2}

Answer:

\boxed {\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{2}} \boxed{\frac{3-\sqrt{29}}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Formula</u> :

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

We are given the equation x² - 3x - 5 = 0.

Here,

  • a = 1
  • b = -3
  • c = -5

<u>Solving</u> :

  • 3 ± √3² - 4(1)(-5) / 2(1)
  • 3 ± √29 / 2

<u>Hence, the solutions are</u> :

\boxed {\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{2}} \boxed{\frac{3-\sqrt{29}}{2}}

  • f = b -24

Step-by-step explanation:

The word problem describes two relationships between the numbers of cookies baked. When b and f represent the numbers of cookies baked by Bill and Felicia, respectively, those relationships are ...

  1. Bill bakes 3 times as many cookies as Felicia. (b = 3f)
  2. Felicia bakes 24 fewer cookies than Bill. (f = b-24)

Exercise 41

Answer:

514 m = width of the river to the nearest meter

Step-by-step explanation:

You must memorize the definitions of the trig functions and then these types of problems are easy.

You have a right triangle where the 100 m is the adjacent side to the 79° angle.  You are looking for the side opposite the 79° angle.  So, you need to use the tan function which is defined as opposite side/adjacent side

Let x = the length of the opposite side (width of river)

Tan 79 = x/100

100 tan 79 = x

x = 514 m = width of the river to the nearest meter

Answer:

y = x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line can be written as y = mx + b (slope-intercept form)

Let's find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b)

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x

Using two points on the line, (0, 3) and (1, 4),

Slope (m) = (4 - 3)/(1 - 0) = 1/1

m = 1

y-intercept (b) = 3 (the coordinate of the point where the y-axis is intercepted by ye line)

To write the equation, substitute m = 1 and b = 3 into y = mx + b

y = 1(x) + 3

y = x + 3
