Find a positive number that equals 42 when added to it's square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago
5 0

if the number is x, then

the positive number, when added to its square (remember, its=posessive and it's is a constraction), equals 42


this can be writen as x+x^2=42

perfect, we need to solve by making one side 0 and then factoring since if ab=0, we can assume and solve for a and b by saying that a=0 and b=0

minus 42 from both sides

x^2+x-42=0

now, either use the quadratic formula or complete the square or factor

I will factor

find what 2 numbers multiply to get -42 and add to get 1 (since the linear coefient is 1 and the constant is -42)

those numbers are -6 and 7

x^2+x-42=0

factor

(x-6)(x+7)=0

set each to 0

x-6=0

x=6


x+7=0

x=-7, false since we wanted a positive number



the number is 6

Find the surface area of the pyramid. the surface area of the pyramid is __in squared.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

561.08in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

S A = lw + l \sqrt{(\frac{w}{2})^{2}  + h^{2}  } + w \sqrt{(\frac{l}{2})^{2} + h^{2}  }

SA = 14(14) + 14 \sqrt{(\frac{14}{2})^{2} + 11^{2}  }+ 14 \sqrt{(\frac{14}{2})^{2} + 11^{2}  } = 561.08in^{2}
