When you have an expression to the power of (1/2) that means the same thing as having a square root.

Lets call a=x

To get rid of the square root we square both sides getting:

2x^2+5x+2= 3^2

Simplifying this we get: 2x^2+5x+2=9

We can subtract 9 from both sides getting: 2x^2+5x-7

Now when we solve for this we can use the quadratic formula:

(-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)) / 2a

a=2 , b=5 , c=-7

Plugging in we end up with : (-5 +/- sqrt(81)) /4

This simplifies to : (-5 +/- 9) / 4 ..... (-5+ (-9))/4 OR (-5-(-9))/4

we have x= -14/4 , 1

4) An arithmetic sequence has a 7th term of 54 and a 13th term of 94. Find the common difference
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Every nth term takes the form of  a + n*d, where a is the first  term.

So 7th term = (54 = a + 7d), 13th term = (94 = a + 13d).

equate them both:

94 - 13d = 54 - 7d

40 = 6d

d = 40/6

Graph the linear equation. Find three
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
-3y = -2x -6

Y= 2/3x + 2


When x= 3
Y= 2/3(3) + 2
Y= 2+2 = 4

(3,4)


When x= 6
Y=2/3(6)+2
Y= 4+2 = 6

(6,6)


When x= 12
Y= 2/3(12) + 2
Y= 8+2=10

(12,10)
