5 0

Answer:

x = a/(a² + b²) or x = -1/a  

Step-by-step explanation:

a(a²+ b²)x² + b²x - a =0

Use the quadratic equation formula:

x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

1. Evaluate the discriminant D

D = b² - 4ac = b⁴ - 4a(a² + b²)(-a) = b⁴ + 4a⁴ + 4a²b²  = (b² + 2a²)²

2. Solve for x

\begin{array}{rcl}x & = & \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{-b^{2}\pm\sqrt{(b^{2}+2a^{2})^{2}}}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{-b^{2}\pm(b^{2}+ 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b^{2}+(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\x =\dfrac{-b^{2}+(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} +2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}x = \large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{a}{a^{2} + b^{2}}}}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} +2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-2b^{2}- 2a^{2}}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-2(a^{2}+ b^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\large \boxed{\mathbf{-\dfrac{1}{a}}}\\\\\end{array}

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

<h3>Toni can type words in 3 minutes is 270 words</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the double number line shows that Toni can type 180 words in 2 minutes.

<h3>To find how many words can Toni type in 3 minutes:</h3>

From the given Toni can type 180 words in 2 minutes,

⇒ Toni can type \frac{180}{2}

= 90

<h3>∴ 90 words per minute </h3>

For Toni would be able to type words in 3 minutes is

90\times 3

= 270

<h3>∴ 270 words per minute.</h3><h3>∴ Toni can type words in 3 minutes is 270 words.</h3>

Will mark brainliest!!
Delvig [45]

Answer:

  • 2
  • 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works best for factoring to remove any common factors from the coefficients. Here, they are all even numbers, so have a common factor of 2. After taking that out, you have ...

  2(4x² -4x -3)

To factor this, you are looking for factors of (4)(-3) that have a sum of -4.

  -12 = 1(-12) = 2(-6) = 3(-4)

These pairs have sums of -11, -4, -1. So, we are interested in the factors 2 and -6. We can use those to rewrite the middle term, then factor by pairing.

  = 2(4x² +2x -6x -3) = 2((2x(2x+1) -3(2x+1)) = 2(2x -3)(2x +1)

Of these, the factors that are on your list of choices are ...

  • 2
  • 2x + 1
