Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

A square's diagonal has a length equal to √(2) times the length of its sides. So if the side length is <em>x</em>, then the diagonal is such that

√(2) <em>x</em> = 10 cm

→   <em>x</em> = 10/√(2) cm ≈ 7.07 cm

The perimeter of a square is 4 times its side length, so the perimeter is

4 (10/√(2) cm) = 40/√(2) cm ≈ 28.3 cm

which makes 28.4 cm the closest answer.

A rectangle is constructed with its base on the​ x-axis and two of its vertices on the parabola y equals = 100 100 minus −x squa
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is constructed with its base on the x axis and two of its vertices on the parabola

y=100-x^2

This parabola has vertex at (0,100) and symmetrical about y axis.

Any general point above x axis can be written as (a,b) (-a,b) since symmetrical about yaxis.  

Hence coordinates of any rectangle are

(a,0) (-a,0), (a, 100-a^2), (-a, 100-a^2)

Length of rectangle = 2a and width = 100-a^2

Area of rectangle = lw = 2a(100-a^2)=200a-400a^3

To find max area, use derivative test.

A' = 200-800a^2\\A"=-1600a

Hence maxima when first derivative =0

i.e. when a =2

Thus we find dimensions of the rectangle are l =4 and w = 96

Maximum area = 4(96) = 384

In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the complement (not below 8)?
Damm [24]

Answer 2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck: 13 ordinal cards (Ace -10, jack, Queen, King)and 4 of them

- one to each sute (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades ) and so we have 4x13=52

There are 8 card that fit the question (4 each of access and kings).

so if you in a random draw the odds of drawing one of those 8 card out of the total number of 52 is 8/52

which we simplify

8/2=2/13
