Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

(x-8)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

using quadratic formula we have

x=  \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c}}{2*a}

we have:

x^2-x-56=0

a= 1 b=-1 c=-56

so we have:

x=(-(-1)+-sqrt(1^1-4*(1)*(-56)))/(2*1)

x=1+-sqrt(1-4*(-56))/(2)

x=(1+-sqrt(225))/2

x=(1+-15)/2

so we have the roots:

x1=(1+15)/2 =8

x2=(1-15)/2=-7

so the answer is (x-8)(x+7)

x^2-x-56

Think of two numbers that will equal to -x and -56.

Use the 7 and 8 times table.

(x-8)(x+7)

Because - negative number * + positive number= - negative number

(x-8)(x+7)= 0

x-8= 0

Move -8 to the other side. Sign changes from -8 to +8.

x-8+8= 0+8

x= 8

x+7= 0

Move +7 to the other side. Sign changes from +7 to -7.

x+7-7= 0-7

x= -7

Answers:

x= 8 , x= -7

3x^2 Type of expression coefficients and constant
Contact [7]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

3x²

This term represents a monomial expression. Mono- means one. This term is by itself. It has no other term added or subtracted to it.

The coefficient of this term is 3 because it is the number that the variable is connected to.

There are no constants because this is a monomial expression.

Pleasseee hellp for brainleist answer and extra points if you correct the 2 first top rows
andrew-mc [135]
So close! But instead of adding the multiplication sign after the number you need to add them before. Good job though! :)

A homogeneous rectangular lamina has constant area density ρ. Find the moment of inertia of the lamina about one corner
frozen [14]

Answer:

I_{corner} =\frac{\rho _{ab}}{3}(a^2+b^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the concept of calculus;

the moment of inertia of the lamina about one corner I_{corner} is:

I_{corner} = \int\limits \int\limits_R (x^2+y^2)  \rho d A \\ \\ I_{corner} = \int\limits^a_0\int\limits^b_0 \rho(x^2+y^2) dy dx

where :

(a and b are the length and the breath of the rectangle respectively )

I_{corner} =  \rho \int\limits^a_0 {x^2y}+ \frac{y^3}{3} |^ {^ b}_{_0} \, dx

I_{corner} =  \rho \int\limits^a_0 (bx^2 + \frac{b^3}{3})dx

I_{corner} =  \rho [\frac{bx^3}{3}+ \frac{b^3x}{3}]^ {^ a} _{_0}

I_{corner} =  \rho [\frac{a^3b}{3}+ \frac{ab^3}{3}]

I_{corner} =\frac{\rho _{ab}}{3}(a^2+b^2)

Thus; the moment of inertia of the lamina about one corner is I_{corner} =\frac{\rho _{ab}}{3}(a^2+b^2)

If the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 39 millimeters and the length of one leg is 15 millimeters what is the le
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

36 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

From Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the two other legs

In mathematical terms;

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

Let a represent the hypotenuse = 39 mm and the length of one leg, say c, is 15 mm

Slotting in the values of a and b

39^2 = b^2 + 15^2

1521 = b^2 + 225

collect like terms

1521 - 225 = b^2

1296 = b^2

Take the square root of both sides

36 = b

Therefore b = 36 mm
