Solve x^2 + x - 12 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

x₁ = -4

x₂ = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+ x + 12 = 0

x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)

x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2

x = {-1±√49} / 2

x = {-1±7} / 2

x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4

x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Check:

x₁

-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0

16 - 4 - 12 = 0

x₂

3² + 3 - 12 = 0

9 + 3 - 12 = 0

What is the total cost of a $12.60 item plus 7% sales tax?
Ulleksa [173]
To take a percent, move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left. 7% = 0.07

Then multiply:

12.60 • 0.07 = 0.88

12.60 + 0.88 = 13.48

The total cost is: $13.48

What are the first five terms of an arithmetic sequence if a 17 = ‒40 and a 28 = ‒73? A. 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 B. 8, 5, 2, ‒1, ‒4 C.
Allisa [31]
The common difference
(-73 - -40)/(28 - 17) = -3
Term a1: -40 - (-3*(17-1)) = 8
Term a2: 8+-3=5
Term a3: 2

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

1). a = 9.42 m

2). b = 6.37 m

3). c = 4.48 m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

By applying tangent rule in triangle ADE,

tan47 = \frac{h}{c}

c = \frac{h}{\text{tan}47}

c = \frac{4.8}{\text{tan}47}

c = 4.476

c ≈ 4.48 m

Now we apply the same rule in triangle ACE,

tan37° = \frac{h}{b}

b = \frac{h}{\text{tan}37}

b = \frac{4.8}{1.0724}

b = 6.37 m

Now apply the tangent in triangle ABE,

tan27° = \frac{h}{a}

a = \frac{h}{\text{tan}27}

a = \frac{4.8}{0.5095}

a = 9.42 m

The sum of seven angles of an octagon is 132 degrees each. Find the measure of the eighth angle.
Sauron [17]

the sum of the angles in an ngon (a polygon with n sides) is (n-2)*180

so an octagon has 8 sides and has a sum total of (8-2)*180=1080 degrees

if each of 7 angles is 132, then 1080=?+7*132

1080=?+924

156=?

the 8th angle is 156 degrees
