Answer:

x = - 4, x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4, since

- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

Tell whether each statement is a proportion:

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean equal proportion?

1. 3 : 9 = 6 : 18 TRUE because 3 : 9 = 1 : 3 and 6 : 18 = 1 : 3

2. 28 : 7 = 64 : 16 FALSE because they are just not related.

3. 95 : 100 = 17 : 20 FALSE because the closest they get are 19 : 20 ≠ 17 : 20

4. 60 : 80 = 14 : 16 FALSE because the closest they get are 60 : 80 = 6 : 8 and 14 : 16 = 7 : 8

5. 200 : 300 = 24 : 36 TRUE because 200 : 300 = 2 : 3 and 24 : 36 = 2 : 3

What is the speed (approximately) of a 2.5-kilogram mass after it has fallen freely from rest through a distance of 12 meters?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

15.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:1) Find the gravitational potential energy using the equation :

$PE_g=mgh$

$PE_g=2.5(12)(9.8)\\PE_g=294$

2) Then use the equation for kinetic energy to solve for the velocity:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$294=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(v^2)\\235.2=v^2\\\sqrt{235.2} =v\\15.3 m/s=v$
