Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x^2 - 36 = 5x is a quadratic equation and can be solved thus: x^2 - 36 = 5x x^2 - 5x - 36 = 0 x^2 + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0 x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0 (x - 9)(x + 4) = 0 x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 x = 9 or x = -4 Therefore, the positive solution of x^2 - 36 = 5x? is 9.

Answer:

x=9, x=-4(rejected)

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the equation given then equate it to 0.

do the factorisation cross method. since the question asking for positive value then automatically the negative value will be rejected.

The town of Madison has a population of 25000 The population is increasing by a factor of 1.12 each year.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$P(t) = 25,000*1.12^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

The populational growth is exponential with a factor of 1.12 each year. An exponential function has the following general equation:

$y(x) = ab^x$

Where 'a' is the initial population (25,000 people), 'b' is the growth factor (1.12 per year), 'x' is the time elapsed, in years, and 'y(x)' is the population after 'x' years.

Therefore, the function P(t) that models the population in Madison t years from now is:

$P(t) = 25,000*1.12^t$

N Example 3, the points are(0,3500) and (5,1750). Write an equation that represents the distance y (in feet) remaining after x m

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350$

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500$

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

$0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10$

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

Triangle ptg has side lengths of 18 27 cm and 13 cm what type of triangle is it

diamong [38]

Angle PTG = arccos((18^2 + 13^2 - 27^2) / (2 x 18 x 13)) = arccos(-236 / 468) = arccos(-0.5043) = 120 degrees.

The triangle is an obtuse triangle (because one of the angles is greater than 90 degrees) and a scalene triangle (because all the sides are not equal).
