When is 2 x -3 equal to x squared minus 5

Mathematics

Alex Ar [27]4 years ago

Solve:  2x - 3 = x^2 - 5 (at least, this is my interpretation of your 2 x -3).

x^2 - 5 - 2x + 3 + 0, or x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0

I will solve this by "completing the square:"

x^2 - 2x +(1)^2 - (1)^2 - 2 = 0, or x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1 - 2 = 0

This is    (x-1)^2 = 3.  Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get:

x-1 = plus or minus sqrt(3).  Then x=1+sqrt(3) or x=1-sqrt(3).  These are the two values of x for which  2x - 3 = x^2 - 5 is true.

Suppose that ∠BNR and ∠RNA are adjacent angles where m∠BNR=12w-19,
wariber [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior adjacent angle is 180 degrees.

Given  

m∠BNR=12w-19,

m∠RNA= ¼(w+199)

m∠BNA=2(12w-19).

Substitute

m∠BNR+m∠RNA=

¼(w+199)+12w-19, = 2(12w-19).

W+796+48W-76 = 96W-152

49W-96W = -152+76-796

-47W = 872

W = 872/47

W = 18.55

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

3 * 10^3 in scientific notation.

3,000 in standard notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide:

3.9 *10^5 / 1.3 * 10^2

= ( 3.9/1.3) * (10^5 / 10^2)

= 3 * 10(5-2)

= 3 * 10^3.

This  equals 3 * 1,000 = 3000.
