That trinomial can't be factored. You would have to complete the square to factor it and even then your answer would be an imaginary number. 

x² + x + 12 = 0
x² + x = - 12
x² + x + 1/4 = - 12 + 1/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 11 3/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 47/4

(x + 1/2)² = - 47/4 
x + 1/2 = +/- √(- 47/4) 
x + 1/2 = +/- \frac{47}{4}i

x = 1/2 +/- \frac{47}{4}i

If the constant was a negative, it would be factor-able (is that a word?).

Answer:

The \ area \ of \ the \ figure = 4\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \pi + 18 \ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the figure is made up of portion of a square and a semicircle, we have;

BC ≅ AB = 6 cm

The area of semicircle BC with radius BC/2 = 3 is 1/2×π×r² = 1/2×π×3² = 4.5·π cm²

Triangle ABC = 1/2 × Area of square  from which ABC is cut

The area of triangle ABC = 1/2×Base ×Height = 1/2×AB×BC = 1/2×6×6 = 18 cm²

The area of the figure = The area of semicircle BC + The area of triangle ABC

The area of the figure = 4.5·π cm² + 18 cm² = \dfrac{9 \cdot \pi +36}{2} \ cm^2.

0.75y-1.5y+0.5=5 I need answers to this asap
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0.75y−1.5y+0.5=5

0.75y+−1.5y+0.5=5

(0.75y+−1.5y)+(0.5)=5(Combine Like Terms)

−0.75y+0.5=5

−0.75y+0.5=5

Step 2: Subtract 0.5 from both sides.

−0.75y+0.5−0.5=5−0.5

−0.75y=4.5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.75.

Hope this helps!
