Answer:

5 feet & 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is to find the lengths of 2 sides of the rectangle</em>.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let shorter side be "x"

Let longer side be "y"

From the question, we can write:

y = 3x

also

y - x = 10

Now, putting the first on second equation, we get:

y - x = 10

3x - x = 10

2x = 10

x = 10/2 = 5

Now, y = 3x, y = 3(5) = 15

So we can say the lengths of 2 sides of the rectangle is 5 feet & 15 feet

cos(30)=x/8

Rewrite the equation as

x/8=cos(30)

Multiply both sides of the equation by

⋅

x/8=8⋅cos(30)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Find the solution set of the following quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

<h3> 1) $x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$ </h3><h3> 2) $x_1=-\dfrac13\,,\quad x_2=-3$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2 - 7x + 9 = 0\quad\implies\quad a=1\,,\ b = -7\,,\ c=9\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4\cdot1\cdot9}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-36}}2\\\\x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$

<h3>2)</h3><h3> $3x^2 + 10x=-3\\\\3x^2+10x+3=0\quad\implies\quad a=3\,,\ b =10\,,\ c=3\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot3\cdot3}}{2\cdot3}= \dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{100-36}}6\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-10+\sqrt{64}}6=\dfrac{-10+8}6=-\dfrac13\,,\qquad x_2=\dfrac{-10-8}6=-3$ </h3>
