Answer: a= -7/2 or a= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Find the 7th term in the sequence <br> 1/3,1,3,9
Setler79 [48]
Y = 3x

Proof:

3(1) = 3

3(3) = 9


5. 9(3) = 27

6. 27(3) = 81

7. 81(3) = 243


The 7th term is 243.

Find the dimensions of a rectangle, length 7m less than three times the width and the area of the rectangle is 66m^2.
zhuklara [117]

  We know: length of a rectangle is 7m less than three times the width.

So let's set the length to l, width to w.

And we can get that l = 3w-7.

We also know that the area of the rectangle is 66 m^2.

Thus, l*w= 66.

So we have:

function 1: l=3w-7

function 2: l*w=66

plug function 1 to 2.

(3w-7)*w=66

3w^2-7w-66=0

w=6 and -11/3.

And the width of a rectangle can not be negative.

So: w=6.

Plug w=6 back to function 1 or 2, either way is correct and can give you the length. In this case, I will plug it back to function 1.

l=3*6-7=11.

So: the width of the rectangle is 6, and the length of the rectangle is 11.
