Answer:

The number of ducks are 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are x ducks in a pond.

The number of swans in the pond is equal to the square root of the number of ducks.

Means swans = \sqrt{x}

If the total number of swans and ducks in the pond is 12.

x+ \sqrt{x} =12

=> \sqrt{x} =12-x

Squaring both sides, we get

x=x^{2} +144-24x

=> Taking everything on one side and equating to 0

x^{2} -x-24x+144=0

=> x^{2}-25x+144=0

=> Solving this we get, x = 9 and x = -16

So, we have number of ducks as 9.

And number of swans = \sqrt{9} =3

Using the quadratic formula to solve 2x2 = 4x – 7, what are the values of x? 2 plus-or-minus StartRoot 10 EndRoot i 1 plus-or-mi
ioda

Answer:

x = 1 +/- \frac{i\sqrt{10} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is:

2x^2 = 4x - 7\\\\2x^2 - 4x + 7 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

From the question:

a = 2, b = -4, c = 7

Therefore:

x = \frac{4 +/- \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7} }{2 * 2}\\\\x = \frac{4 +/- \sqrt{(16 - 56)} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{4 +/- \sqrt{-40} }{4}\\

=> x = 1 +/- \frac{i\sqrt{10} }{2}
