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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
4 0

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

The diagonals of a rhombus have lengths of 12 centimeters and 16 centimeters. what is the length of one side of the rhombus
Yuki888 [10]
<span>Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other. This means this rhombus is composed of four right triangles with legs of length 6 cm and 8 cm, with their hypotenuses forming the perimeter of the rhombus. The Pythagorean theorem a^2+ b^2 = c^2 can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse. 6^2+8^2 = 36+64 = 100. The square root of 100 is 10, so the length of a side of the rhombus is 10 cm.</span>

Math help.... Please....
garri49 [273]
First, you want to solve for the equation for this problem, would be: 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
While N = The amount of nickels, and D = The amount of dimes. 

Since N = 164, and D = 123. It would add up to 287 coins. 164 + 123 = 287. 
Now that you have the number for those two variables, solve the equation for when N = 164, and D = 123. 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
<span>0.05(164) + 0.10(123) = 20.50 
</span><span>8.2 + 12.3 = 20.50 
</span>20.50 = 20.50 
So, there is 164 nickels, and 123 dimes for your answer.
