Solve for x:
2 (6 - x) = x (x + 5)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 - 2 x = x (x + 5)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 - 2 x = x^2 + 5 x
Subtract x^2 + 5 x from both sides:
-x^2 - 7 x + 12 = 0
Multiply both sides by -1:
x^2 + 7 x - 12 = 0
x = (-7 ± sqrt(7^2 - 4 (-12)))/2 = (-7 ± sqrt(49 + 48))/2 = (-7 ± sqrt(97))/2:
Answer: x = (-7 + sqrt(97))/2 or x = (-7 - sqrt(97))/2

A cylinder and cone have the same height and radius. The height of each is 5 cm, and the radius is 2 cm. Calculate the volume of

never [62]

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder is 62.8 cm and the volume of a cone is 20.9 cm³ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder = \pi r^{2} h$

$Volume\ of\ a\ cone = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$

Where r is the radius and h is the height .

As given

A cylinder and cone have the same height and radius. The height of each is 5 cm, and the radius is 2 cm.

$\pi = 3.14$

Thus

$Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder =3.14\times 5\times 2\times 2$

= 62.8 cm³

Thus the volume of a cylinder is 62.8 cm³ .

$Volume\ of\ a\ cone = 3.14\times 2\times 2\times frac{5}{3}$

$Volume\ of\ a\ cone =\frac{5\times 3.14\times 2\times 2}{3}$

$Volume\ of\ a\ cone =\frac{62.8}{3}$

= 20.9 (Approx) cm³

Thus the volume of a cone is 20.9 cm³ .

Therefore the volume of a cylinder is 62.8 cm and the volume of a cone is 20.9 cm³ .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that D is the midpoint, then 2x + 7 = 4(x-3). Doing the algebra on that gives us

2x + 7 = 4x - 12 and

19 = 2x so

x = 9.5

A given polygon has an area of 42 square feet. If the polygon is enlarged by a linear scale factor of 5, what is the area of the

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

1050 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Enlarging the polygon by a factor of 5 has the effect of increasing the area by a factor of 5², that is 25

new area = 25 × 42 = 1050 ft²
