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

Express the area of this triangle as monomial.
gladu [14]

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh

b - base

h - height

We have b = 8x and h = 7x. Substitute:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}(8x)(7x)=(4x)(7x)=28x^2

<h3>Answer: 28x²</h3>

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 0.8 ft/s,
shusha [124]

Answer:

-0.133 radians/s is the angle between the ladder and the ground changing when the bottom of the ladder is 8 ft from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x= distance between the wall and ladder

Ф = angle between the ladder and ground

The rate of change is: dx/dt = 0.8 ft/s

We need to find dФ/dt when x = 8 ft/s

From the triangle in the figure we see that:

cos Ф = x/10

=> x = 10 cosФ

Now, the rate of change will be

d(x)/dt = d/dt (10cosФ)

dx/dt = -10 sin Ф dФ/dt

dx/dt = 0.8 (given)

to find dФ/dt

we need to find sin Ф when x = 8

By Pythagoras theorem

(hypotenuse)^2 = (Perpendicular)^2+(base)^2

(10)^2 = (8)^2+ (Perpendicular)^2

100 = 64 +  (Perpendicular)^2

=>  (Perpendicular)^2 = 100-64

(Perpendicular)^2 = 36

Perpendicular = 6

sin Ф = Perpendicular/hypotenuse

sin Ф = 6/10 = 3/5

Putting values in:

dx/dt = -10 sin Ф dФ/dt

0.8 = -10(3/5) dФ/dt

0.8 = -6 dФ/dt

=> dФ/dt = 0.8 / -6

dФ/dt = - 0.133 radians/s

So, -0.133 radians/s is the angle between the ladder and the ground changing when the bottom of the ladder is 8 ft from the wall.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$340

Step-by-step explanation:

85 x 4 = 340.

Because 85 = 1/4, 4/4 = 85 x 4 = 340
