Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 9x + 1 = 0 Give answer to 3 significant figures
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Either, (9+√69)/6 or (9-√69)/6

Step wise:

3x²-9x+1=0-------------------(i)

comparing equation onw with (ax²+bx+c=0), we get,

a=3, b=-9, c=1

now,

using Quadratic Formula,

(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a=x

{-(-9)±√(-9)²-4.3.1}/2.3=x

(9±√81-12)/6=x

(9±√69)/6=x

Taking +(ve) sign                   Taking -(ve) sign

(9+√69)/6=0                           (9-√69)/6=0

∴(9+√69)/6=0                         ∴(9-√69)/6=0

[∵They cannot be further solved]

Steve got his car fixed for $557. After taxes it cost him $594. What was the tax rate to the nearest %?
I am Lyosha [343]
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

In 2010, the number of houses built in Town A was 25 percent greater than the number of houses built in Town B. If 70 houses wer
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The number of houses built in Town B is 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2010, the number of houses built in Town A was 25 percent greater than the number of houses built in Town B.

Also, 70 houses were built in Town A during 210.

Let the number of houses built in Town B be 'x'.

So, according to the question;

Number of houses built in Town A = Number of houses built in Town B + 25% of the houses built in Town B

70 = x + (25\% \times x)

70 = x(1+0.25)

x=\frac{70}{1.25}

x = 56

Hence, the number of houses built in Town B is 56.
