Answer:

x=-\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

y^2=5x-----(1)

Which is the equation of a parabola along x-axis,

From equation (1),

(y-0)^2=\frac{4}{4}\times 5(x-0)

(y-0)^2=4(\frac{5}{4})(x-0)-----(2)

We know that, the standard form of a parabola along x-axis is,

(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)

Where, the directrix is,

x = h-p

By comparing equation (2),

The directrix of the given parabola is,

x = 0 - \frac{5}{4}\implies x = -\frac{5}{4}

DENIUS [597]

Let g be the number of grandchildren, and d be the number of dogs. They both have only one head, so the number of heads is

g+d=33

Grandchildren have 2 legs, while dogs have 4. So, the total number of legs is

2g+4d=84

From the first equation (the one for the heads) we can derive

g=33-d

Substitute this into the second to get

2g+4d=84 \implies 2(33-d)+4d=84 \iff 2d=18 \iff d=9

So, there are 9 dogs and (from the first equation

g=33-9=24

Find one value of x that is a solution to the equation:<br>(x^2– 8)^2 + x^2 – 8 = 20<br>x=​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 + x^2 + (x^2 - 8)^2 = 20

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 56 = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 36 = 0

Substitute y = x^2:

y^2 - 15 y + 36 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(y - 12) (y - 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

y - 12 = 0 or y - 3 = 0

Add 12 to both sides:

y = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x^2 = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y = 3

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x^2 = 3

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)
