A number has the property that its square is equal to 84 more than five times the number. Enter all numbers that have this prope

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The numbers for which the given property hold true are <em>12 </em>and <em>-7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be $x$ .

As per the given statement:

Square of the number ( $x^{2}$ ) is 84 more than five times of the number ( $5x+84$ ).

Writing in the equation form:

$x^{2} =5x+84$

To find:

All the numbers for which above equation holds true.

Solution:

$x^{2} =5x+84$

Let us solve the above equation by rearranging the terms and then let us find the roots of the equation.

It is a quadratic equation(i.e. maximum power of $x$ is 2) so it will have 2 solutions i.e. 2 values of $x$ for which the above equation will hold true.

$x^{2} -5x-84=0$

Let us factorize the equation.

$\Rightarrow x^{2} -12x+7x-84=0\\\Rightarrow x(x -12)+7(x-12)=0\\\Rightarrow (x+7)(x-12)=0\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=12, -7 }$

So, the numbers for which the given property hold true are <em>12 </em>and <em>-7</em>.

Describe how to draw a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -2/-3?

Sophie [7]

First of all you know it wiill be a positive slope as both the rise and the run are negative. a negative divided by a negative equals a positive. so you can plot the points (2,3) and (-2,-3) as they will be points on this line. next you take a straight line and place it so that both points are intercepted. then extend the line outwards.

Margaret's car loan statement said she would pay $7,683.20 in a simple interest for a 5 year loan at 9.8% how much did Margaret

Kobotan [32]

Answer:15,680

Step-by-step explanation:

7,683.207,683.20=(P)(0.098)(5)=0.49P

Dividing both sides by 0.49, we have

P=7,683.200.49=15,680

A point H is 20m away from the foot of a tower on the same horizontal ground. From the point H, the angle of elevation of the po

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a. See Attachment 1

b. $PT = 12.3\ m$

c. $HT = 31.1\ m$

d. $OH = 28.4\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating PT

To calculate PT, we need to get distance OT and OP

Calculating OT;

We have to consider angle 50, distance OH and distance OT

The relationship between these parameters is;

$tan50 = \frac{OT}{20}$

Multiply both sides by 20

$20 * tan50 = \frac{OT}{20} * 20$

$20 * tan50 = OT$

$20 * 1.1918 = OT$

$23.836 = OT$

$OT = 23.836$

Calculating OP;

We have to consider angle 30, distance OH and distance OP

The relationship between these parameters is;

$tan30 = \frac{OP}{20}$

Multiply both sides by 20

$20 * tan30 = \frac{OP}{20} * 20$

$20 * tan30 = OP$

$20 * 0.5774= OP$

$11.548 = OP$

$OP = 11.548$

$PT = OT - OP$

$PT = 23.836 - 11.548$

$PT = 12.288$

$PT = 12.3\ m$ (Approximated)

--------------------------------------------------------

Calculating the distance between H and the top of the tower

This is represented by HT

HT can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

$HT^2 = OT^2 + OH^2$

Substitute 20 for OH and $OT = 23.836$

$HT^2 = 20^2 + 23.836^2$

$HT^2 = 400 + 568.154896$

$HT^2 = 968.154896$

Take Square Root of both sides

$HT = \sqrt{968.154896}$

$HT = 31.1\ m$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

--------------------------------------------------------

Calculating the position of H

This is represented by OH

See Attachment 2

We have to consider angle 50, distance OH and distance OT

The relationship between these parameters is;

$tan50 = \frac{OH}{OT}$

Multiply both sides by OT

$OT * tan50 = \frac{OH}{OT} * OT$

$OT * tan50 = {OH$

$OT * 1.1918 = OH$

Substitute $OT = 23.836$

$23.836 * 1.1918 = OH$

$28.4= OH$

$OH = 28.4\ m$ <em> (Approximated)</em>
