X^2-8x+16=1\\ \\x^2-8x+16-1=0\\ \\x^2-8x+15=0\\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-8)^{2}-4*1*15=64-60=4 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{8- \sqrt{4}}{2}=\frac{8-2}{2}= \frac{6}{2}=3\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{8+ \sqrt{4}}{2}=\frac{8+2}{2}= \frac{10}{2}=5\\ \\Answer : x=3 \ \ or \ \ x = 5

What is the area of OA to the nearest tenth? (Use 3.14 for T.)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

50.2 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a circle is calculated as

A = πr² ( r is the radius , here r = 4 ), thus

A = π × 4² = 16π = 16 × 3.14 ≈ 50.2 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

The speed of a car is x miles per hour.

The total distance the car travels in

30 minutes is y. ....>>> y = 0.5x

The cost to produce a table, y, is two

times the cost to produce a chair, x. ..> y = 2x

The time required to bake a chocolate

muffin, y, is 2 minutes more than the

time required to bake a vanilla muffin, x.....>> y = x + 2

Tina’s age, y, is 5 years more than

her brother Tim’s age, x. .......>> y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation: The only really tricky one is the "speed of the car ..." because the speed is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes so that is 0.5 hour times time

Otherwise, "times" means multiplication and "more than" means addition.
