Answer:

See explanation, and ask for more details if unclear!

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect square of this equation is x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}, since the square would be (x-\frac{1}{2})^2. 1/4=4/16, meaning that you can set up the equation in the following way:

(x^2-x+\frac{1}{4})-\frac{1}{16}=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{16}

Take the square root of both sides:

x-\frac{1}{2}=\pm \frac{1}{4}

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x=\frac{1}{2}\pm \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{4}. Hope this helps!

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - x + 3/16 = 0

Subtract 3/16 from each side

x^2 - x + 3/16 - 3/16 =  -3/16

x^2 -x = -3/16

Take the coefficient of x

-1

Divide by 2

-1/2   call this a

Square it

(-1/2)^2 = 1/4

Add it to each side

x^2 - x +1/4 =- 3/16+1/4

Changing to the "square"

( x +a)^2 =  - 3/16+1/4

getting a common denominator

( x -1/2) ^2 = -3/16+ 4/16

 ( x -1/2) ^2 =1/16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(  ( x -1/2) ^2)  = ± sqrt(1/16)

x -1/2 = ± 1/4

Add 1/2 to each side

x -1/2 + 1/2 = 1/2 ± 1/4

x = 1/2 ± 1/4

Separate into 2 equations

x = 1/2 + 1/4                 x = 1/2 - 1/4

    2/4 +1/4                          2/4 -1/4

        3/4                                    1/4

Dan and Juanita are arguing, again! Dan says the revenue function for the
Gwar [14]

Find

R(V)

  • p(x)×x
  • x(-3/2x+112)
  • -3/2x²+112x

Now

  • y=-3/2x²+112x

Find vertex x coordinate

  • -b/2a
  • -112/-2(-3/2)
  • -37.3

Put in equation

  • y=-3/2(-37.3)²+112(-37.3)
  • y=-2086.9-84+4177.6
  • y=$6264.6
  • y=$62.64M

As a is negative parabola is facing downwards hence vertex is minimum .

So minimum value is $62M which is far more than given .

The area of the cross section of a sphere at the largest point is 100π square miles. what is the total surface area of this sphe
Firlakuza [10]

The cross-section of a sphere  is a circle . The  area of a circle can be calculated by the formula A= \pi\r^{2} Where r is the radius of the circle.

Given :\pir^{2}   = 100\pi

Solving for r we have:

r^{2} = \frac{100\pi }{\pi}=   100

Or r= 10.

The area of a sphere is calculated by the formula :

SA = 4\pi  R^{2}

Substituting r value we have:

SA= 4\pi\ 10 ^{2}    = 400\pi

The total surface area of this sphere is 400π .

The current of a river is 3 miles per hour. A boat travels to a point 176 miles upstream and 176 miles back in 19 hours. What is
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

If sin A = 6 over 13, then which of the following is correct?
Inessa [10]
Answer is B. CSC A= 13 over 6
You need to learn these basic rules:
Sin is opposite csc
Cos is opposite sec
Tan is opposite Cot
In saying this, CsC is the reciprocal for Sin. You would have to switch the numerator and denominatior to get your answer
