What is the solution set of -|x| = -8?

1 answer:

7 0

|x| this means absolute value making what ever number in the inside positive UNLESS you have a negative out front. Ex |8|=8. -|8|=-8. |-8|=8

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 2 x + 1 = 17.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation

$x^2 +2x +1 = 17$

subtracting 17 from both sides

$x^2 +2x +1 = 17\\x^2 +2x +1 -17= 17-17\\x^2 +2x - 16 = 0\\$

the solution for quadratic equation

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ is given by

x = $x = -b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} /2a \\\\and \ \\-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} /2a$

________________________________

in our problem

a = 1

b = 2

c = -16

$x =( -2 + \sqrt{2^2 - 4*1*-16}) /2*1 \\x =( -2 + \sqrt{4 + 64}) /2\\x =( -2 + \sqrt{68} )/2\\x = ( -2 + \sqrt{4*17} )/2\\x = ( -2 + 2\sqrt{17} )/2\\x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\$

thus value of x is

$x = - 1 + \sqrt{17}\\and\\x = - 1 - \sqrt{17}\\$

A car moved at a speed of 90km/hr for 3 minutes.What distance did it cover?

aniked [119]

Answer:

270kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, all you have to do is the speed · time

In these types of distance time and word problems, you multiply the other factors, 90 and 3, The time(T) · The speed(S)

So. 90(S) · 3(T) = 270(D)

Prove that<br>{(tanθ+sinθ)^2-(tanθ-sinθ)^2}^2 =16(tanθ+sinθ)(tanθ-sinθ)

USPshnik [31]

First, expand the terms inside the bracket you will get

$(( \tan {}^{2} (x) + 2 \tan(x) \sin(x) + \sin {}^{2} (x) - ( \tan {}^{2} (x) - 2 \tan(x) + \sin {}^{2} (x) ) {}^{2} = 16( \tan(x) + \sin(x) )( \tan(x) - \sin(x) )$
