Aldo drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 8 hours. When Aldo drove h

ome, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. If his average rate was 21 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Aldo live from the mountains? Do not do any rounding.

8x = 5(x+21)
8x = 5x +105
3x = 105
x = 105 /3
x = 35

8 x 35 = 280 miles away

What is the discriminant of 3x^2 - 10 = -2?
Tatiana [17]
The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of 
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)

3x^2-8

So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8

In Exercises 10 and 11, points B and D are points of tangency. Find the value(s) of x.<br>​
Lemur [1.5K]

In both cases,

AB^2=AD^2

(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)

So we have

10.

(4x+7)^2=(6x-3)^2

16x^2+56x+49=36x^2-36x+9

20x^2-92x-40=0

5x^2-23x-10=0

(5x+2)(x-5)=0\implies\boxed{x=5}

(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)

11.

(4x^2-18x-10)^2=(x^2+x+4)^2

16x^4-144x^3+244x^2+360x+100=x^4+2x^3+9x^2+8x+16

15x^4-146x^3+235x^2+352x+84=0

(x-7)(3x+2)(5x^2-17x-6)=0\implies\boxed{x=-\dfrac23\text{ or }x=7}

(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
