Diego is solving the equation x^2-12x = 21

uysha [10]

Answer:

The solutions to the quadratic equations will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Let us solve the equation by completing the square

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Add (-6)² to both sides

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=21+\left(-6\right)^2$

simplify

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=57$

Apply perfect square formula: (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

i.e.

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=\left(x-6\right)^2$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x-6\right)^2=57$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

solve

$x-6=\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=\sqrt{57}+6$

also solving

$x-6=-\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?

SVEN [57.7K]

So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3

identify the type of sampling used (random, systematic, convenience, stratified, or cluster sampling) in the situation descri

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sampling technique is a method of sampling in which each member for the sample is chosen randomly from the population.
Systematic sampling : It is a kind of random sampling in which the members get selected after a fixed interval but a random starting point.
Convenience sampling : It is a kind of random sampling in which the members get selected on the basis of researchers convenience.
Stratified sampling : It is a kind of random sampling in which the entire population is divided into a finite number of strata , the researcher select members for sample from each strata.
Cluster sampling : It is a kind of random sampling in which the entire population is divided into clusters. Then a random sample of cluster is drawn by researcher.

In the given situation , 784 adults are selected after their telephone numbers were randomly generated by a computer.

Therefore , the type of sampling used here is : random sampling
