Answer:

5+√97/4

Also 5-√97/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic formula is x=-b+-√b^2-4ac/2a

This means that we should plug the values for A B AND C into the formula

We can work out that

<u><em>A = 2</em></u>

<u><em>B=-5</em></u>

<u><em>C=-9</em></u>

Once we have put these into the formula we get

5+√97/4 (all over 4) aka 3.71

Also 5-√97/4 (all over 4) aka -1.21

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{5-\sqrt{97}}{4}\ or\ x=\dfrac{5+\sqrt{97}}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{The quadratic formula:}\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{If}\ \Delta>0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\text{If}\ \Delta=0,\ \text{then the equation has one solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\\\text{If}\ \Delta

\text{The equation}\ 2x^2-5x-9=0\\\\a=2,\ b=-5,\ c=-9\\\\\Delta=(-5)^2-4(2)(-9)=25+72=97>0\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{97}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-(-5)-\sqrt{97}}{2(2)}=\dfrac{5-\sqrt{97}}{4}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-5)+\sqrt{97}}{2(2)}=\dfrac{5+\sqrt{97}}{4}

The variable x is twice the value of the variable y and the sum of x and y is 42 solve for x and y.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Write two equations with the given information:

1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)

2) x + y = 42

Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:

2y + y = 42

Simplify:

3y = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 42 / 3

y = 14

Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:

x = 2y

x = 2(14)

x = 28

X = 28 and y = 14

If tan tetha =8/15,find the value of sin tetha+cos tetha all divided by cos tetha (1-cos tetha)​
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:  195.5 or 12 7/32

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no letter tetha in the table so I use α instead. However it is not sence to final result.

The expression is:

(sinα+cosα)/(cosα*(1-cosα))

Lets divide the nominator and denominator by cosα

(sinα/cosα+cosα/cosα)/(cosα*(1-cosα)/cosα)= (tanα+1)/(1-cosα)=

=(8/15+1)/(1-cosα)= 23/(15*(1-cosα))    (1)

As known cos²α=1-sin²α   (divide by cos²α both sides of equation)

cos²a/cos²α=1/cos²α-sin²α/cos²α

1=1/cos²α-tg²α

1/cos²α=1+tg²α

cos²α=1/(1+tg²α)

cosα=sqrt(1/(1+tg²α))= +-sqrt(1/(1+64/225))=+-sqrt(225/(225+64))=

=+-sqrt(225/289)=+-15/17   (2)

Substitute in (1) cosα  by (2):

1st use cosα=15/17

1) 23/(15*(1-cosα)) =23/(15*(1-15/17))= 23*17/2=195.5

2-nd use cosα=-15/17

2)23/(15*(1-cosα)) =23/(15*(1+15/17))= 23*17/32=12 7/32

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

60in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 24 in

Width = 18 in

Diagonally, we need to find using the Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

D^2= 24^2+18^2

D^2= 576+324

D^2= 900

Square both sides

D= √900

D= 30 in

For both sides

=30*2= 60in
