What is -3+4|8n+10|=53?

1 answer:

5 0

Add three to both sides: 4|8n+10|=56
divide by 4: |8n+10|=14
so 8n+10 could be 14 or -14
if it's 14, n=0.5
if it's -14, n=-3.5

An eagle changes it’s elevation by an average of -14.2 meters every second for 4.8 seconds. What is the change in elevation of t

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the eagle's elevation is 100 meters above.

We can multiply -14.2 by 0.8.

We now get -11.36.

We can add this to (-14.2*4).

We now get -11.36 + -56.8.

We can add those together to get the answer.

-11.36 + -56.8 = -68.16.

Then we can add that to 100 (since it is negative).

100 + (-68.16) = 31.84.

The eagle's elevation would be 31.84 meters if its starting position was 100 meters, meaning that the equation would be (a - 68.16).

If the square of a number is added to 8 times the number, the result is 100.

klasskru [66]

$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

If the square of a number is added to 8 times the number, the result is 100. Find x.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

Let's take the number as 'x'.

Square of x = x²
8 times x = 8x

We are given that, 8x + x² = 100

Now, let's solve for x.

__________________

$8 x + x ^ { 2 } = 100$

Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x²+bx=c.

$x^{2}+8x=100$

Divide 8, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get 4. Then add the square of 4 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left-hand side of the equation a perfect square.

$x^{2}+8x+4^{2}=100+4^{2}$
