Answer:

\text{The value of }(b^2-4ac)\thinspace is\thinspace 169

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 5x^2 + 7x = 6

we have to find the value of b^2-4ac

Equation: 5x^2+7x-6=0

Comparing above with general quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0

we get, a=5, b=7 and c=-6

b^2-4ac=(7)^2-4(5)(-6)=49+120=169

Hence,

\text{The value of }(b^2-4ac)\thinspace is\thinspace 169

B²-4ac? 

<span>5x²+7x-6 = 0 </span>
<span>the form is ax²+bx+c = 0 </span>

<span>a=5, b=7, c=-6 </span>


<span>The discriminant D = b²-4ac </span>
<span>= 7² - 4(5)(-6) = 49 + 120 </span>
<span>= 169 </span>

The can of tomatoes is three times as tall but one-third as wide as the can of tuna. What is true about the areas of their label
yulyashka [42]
Problem One
Call the radius of the second can = r
Call the height of the second can = h

Then the radius of the first can = 1/3 r
The height of the first can = 3*h

A1 / A2 = (2*pi*(1/3r)*(3h)] / [2*pi * r * h] 

Here's what will cancel. The twos on the right will cancel. The 3 and 1/3 will multiply to one. The 2 r's will cancel. The h's will cancel. Finally, the pis will cancel

Result A1 / A2 = 1/1
The labels will be shaped differently, but they will occupy the same area.

Problem Two
It seems like the writer of the problem put some lids on the new solid that were not implied by the question.

If I understand the problem correctly, looking at it from the top you are sweeping out a circle for the lid on top and bottom, plus the center core of the cylinder. 

One lid would be pi r^2 = pi w^2 and so 2 of them would be 2 pi w^2
The region between the lids would be 2 pi r h for the surface area which is 2pi w h

Put the 2 regions together and you get
Area = 2 pi w^2 + 2 pi w h

After traveling exactly half of its journey from station A to station B, a train was held up for 10 minutes. In order to arrive
Alex17521 [72]
Let's define variables:
 s = original speed
 s + 12 = faster speed
 The time for the half of the route is:
 60 / s
 The time for the second half of the route is:
 60 / (s + 12)
 The equation for the time of the trip is:
 60 / s + 60 / (s + 12) + 1/6 = 120 / s
 Where,
 1/6: held up for 10 minutes (in hours).
 Rewriting the equation we have:
 6s (60) + s (s + 12) = 60 * 6 (s + 12)
 360s + s ^ 2 + 12s = 360s + 4320
 s ^ 2 + 12s = 4320
 s ^ 2 + 12s - 4320 = 0
 We factor the equation:
 (s + 72) (s-60) = 0
 We take the positive root so that the problem makes physical sense.
 s = 60 Km / h
 Answer:
 
The original speed of the train before it was held up is:
 
s = 60 Km / h

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 9xplus7yequals6 that passes through the point ​(9​,negative 7​).
andrew11 [14]

k:\ y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:\ y=m_2x+b_2\\\\k\ ||\ l\iff m_1=m_2\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1

We have:

k:\ 9x+7y=6\ \ \ |-9x\\\\7y=-9x+6\ \ \ \ |:7\\\\y=-\dfrac{9}{7}x+\dfrac{6}{9}\to m_1=-\dfrac{9}{7}\\\\l:\ y=m_2x+b\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff-\dfrac{9}{7}m_2=-1\ \ \ \ |\cdot\left(-\dfrac{7}{9}\right)\\\\m_2=\dfrac{7}{9}\to\ l:\ y=\dfrac{7}{9}x+b

We know. The line <em>l</em> passes throught the point (9, -7). Substitute the coordinates of the poin to the equation of line<em> l </em>:

-7=\dfrac{7}{9}\cdot9+b\\\\-7=7+b\ \ \ \ |-7\\\\b=-14

y=\dfrac{7}{9}x-14\ \ \ \ |\cdot9\\\\9y=7x-126\ \ \ \ |-9y\ |+126\\\\7x-9y=126

Answer: y=\dfrac{7}{9}x-14\to7x-9y=126
