Answer:

x = - 2, x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10 x  = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² - 10x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2, since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10, thus

(x - 12)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Answer:

x+y= 59,  x-y= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number. We also know that the difference is 13, meaning x-y= -13. Since the sum of the two numbers is 59, x+y= 59

Two trains, Train A and Train B, simultaneously depart Station A and Station B. Station A and Station B are 252.5 miles apart fr
omeli [17]

-- The trains start moving at the same time.

-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.

-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.

-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.  

That's 40min 3.49sec .

-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other.  We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 5x ^ 2 + 20x between x = 0 and x = 0.5
Vitek1552 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change on the interval [a, b] is the ratio ...

  (f(b) -f(x))/(b -a)

For your function and interval, it is ...

  (f(0.5) -f(0))/(0.5 -0)

Since f(0) = 0, this reduces to ...

  average rate of change = 2·f(0.5) = 2(5(0.5)² +20(0.5)) = 2(5/4 +10)

  average rate of change = 22.5
