Solve the following equation algebraically: x^2=20

Mathematics

amid [387]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 20

x² - 20 = 0

x² -  (√20)² =0

by identity : a² - b² =  ( a - b )( a + b) in this exercice : a = x and b =√20

( x - √20)(x + √20) = 0

x - √20 = 0  or  x + √20 = 0

x = √20 or x =  - √20

but : 20 = 4×5

20 = √(4×5) =√4×√5 = 2√5

Answer:

x = ± 2\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 20 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{20} = ± \sqrt{4(5)} = ± 2\sqrt{5}

Explain how rates and ratios are related. Be sure to include examples to support you response.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Both rates and ratios are a comparison of two numbers. A rate is simply a specific type of ratio. The difference is that a rate is a comparison of two numbers with different units, whereas a ratio compares two numbers with the same unit. For example, in a room full of students, there are 10 boys and 5 girls. This means the ratio of boys to girls is 10:5.

Your friend is trying to grow her hair as long as her cousin's hair. The table (attached) shows their hair lengths (in inches) i
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a)  y = 1/2x + 5/2

    y = 2/5x + 29/5

b)  hair will be 19 inches for both at 33 months

Step-by-step explanation:

a) rate of growth of friend's hair:  (3, 4) (8, 6.5)  

(6.5 - 4) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2.5/5 or 1/2

find the y-intercept of equation for growth of friend's hair:

y = mx + b

4 = 1/2(3) + b

4 = 3/2 + b

8/2 - 3/2 = b

5/2 = b

equation for growth of friend's hair:

y = 1/2x + 5/2

rate of growth of cousin's hair:  (3, 7) (8, 9)  

(9 - 7) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2/5

find the y-intercept of equation for growth of cousin's hair:

y = mx + b

9 = 2/5(8) + b

9 = 16/5 + b

45/5 - 16/5 = b

29/5 = b

equation for growth of cousin's hair:

y = 2/5x + 29/5

b) y = 1/2x + 5/2

   y = 2/5x + 29/5

1/2x + 5/2 = 2/5x + 29/5

5/10x + 25/10 = 4/10x + 58/10

1/10x = 33/10

10x = 3300

x = 33
