What are the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago

Answer:

x = approx. 1.24 or -7.24

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to factor directly so we should use the quadratic formula or complete the square. I'm going to go with completing the square.

x²+6x-9=0

x²+6x=9

x²+6x is the same as x²+2·3·x, in order to make this into the algebraic identity (A+B)²=A²+2AB+B², we must add B², or in this case 3² to both sides. (A is x, B is 3)

x²+6x+9=18

(x+3)²= 18

x+3= ±√18

x= ±4.24 -3 (approximately 4.24)

First solution for  x = 4.24-3 = 1.24

Second solution for x = -4.24-3 = -7.24

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

A = 236,000 (1.04)^t

population in 2009 : 335,902 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:  

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:  

p = original population  

r = growing rate (decimal form) = 4/100 = 0.04

t= years passed from 2000

A = population after t years  

Replacing with the values given:  

A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04)^t

A = 236,000 (1.04)^t

Population in 2009.

t = 2009-2000 = 9  

A = 236,000 (1.04)^9

A = 335,902 people

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

−4x+7y+5=0<br> x−3y=−5<br> ​ <br><br> How many solutions does the system have?
xeze [42]

   

Solution:  

Using Substitution Method:

-4x+7y=-5   (Equation 1)

x-3y=-5       (Equation 2)

get the value of x from Equation 2

x=3y-5     (Equation 3)  

Put the value of x from Equation 3 in Equation 1

-4(3y-5)+7y=-5

-4(3y)+20+7y=-5

-12y+7y=-5-20

-5y=-25

Negative sign on both sides cancels each other

y=25/5

y=5

Putting value of y in equation 3

x=3(5)-5

x=15-5

x=10

Therefore,   [x,y]=[10,5]

Using Elimination Method

-4x+7y=-5   (Equation 1)

x-3y=-5       (Equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 with -4 in order to eliminate the x term

-4(x-3y)=-5*4

-4x+12y=20     (Equation 3)

Adding Equation 1 and 3

-4x+7y=-5    

-4x+12y=20    

+    -     = -   (Change Of Sign with x and y terms)

-----------------

0x-5y = -25

-5y=-25

y=5  

Substituting y’s value is Equation 1

-4x+7(5)=-5

-4x+35=-5

-4x=-40

Cancellation of negative sign on both sides

x=40/4

x=10

[x,y]=[10,5]
