Answer:

Values of x will be [5 + √(-2)] and [5 - √(-2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas soled the equation (x² - 10x + 27) = 0 by completing the square.

x² - 2(5x) + 27 = 0

x² - 2(5x) + 25 - 25 + 27 = 0

(x - 5)² - 25 + 27 = 0

(x - 5)² + 2 = 0

(x - 5)² = - 2

(x - 5) = ±√(-2)

x = 5 ±√(-2)

Therefore, values of x will be [5 + √(-2)] and [5 - √(-2)].

Where,
A: initial height
b: growth rate
x: time
Substituting values we have:
y = 6 (2) ^ x
Answer:
An equation that best represent how tall the sunflower will b in x weeks is:

Write an equation for the line in point slope form through the points (2, −6) and (−1, −8).

igomit [66]

Let point A be $(2, -6)$ and point B $(-1, -8)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-8 - (-6)}{-1 - 2} = \frac{-8 + 6}{-1 -2} = \frac{-2}{-3} = \frac{2}{3}$

Use the point-slope formula and whichever point you want as , in this case I'll use

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\y - (-6) = \frac{2}{3}(x - 2)\\y + 6 = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3}\\y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3} - 6\\y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{14}{3}$

the length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width.if the perimeter of the rectangle is 146,find the area of the rectangle

raketka [301]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where L is its length and W is its width

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

∵ The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width

- Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units and multiply

x by 2 and subtract 5 from the product to find its length

∴ W = x

∴ L = 2x - 5

- Use the formula of the perimeter above to find its perimeter

∵ P = 2(2x - 5 + x)

∴ P = 2(3x - 5)

- Multiply the bracket by 2

∴ P = 6x - 10

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units

∴ P = 146

- Equate the two expression of P

∴ 6x - 10 = 146

- Add 10 to both sides

∴ 6x = 156

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 26

Substitute the value of x in W and L expressions

∴ W = 26 units

∴ L = 2(26) - 5 = 52 - 5

∴ L = 47 units

Now use the formula of the area to find the area of the rectangle

∵ A = 47 × 26

∴ A = 1222 units²

∴ The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²

Anne is currently h years old. bill is currently 2h years old and Charles is currently eight years old. find an expression for e

Margarita [4]

Ann's age after h years is 2h

Bill's age after h years is 3h

Charles' age after h years is 8 + h

The sum of their ages after h years is 6h + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Anne is currently h years old

Bill is currently 2h years old

Charles is currently eight years old

We need to find an expression for each person’s age after h years and then find an expression for the sum of their ages after h years

∵ Ann is h years old now

∵ Her age after h years = her age now + h

∴ Her age after h years = h + h

∴ Her age after h years = 2h

Ann's age after h years is 2h

∵ Bill is 2h years old now

∵ His age after h years = his age now + h

∴ His age after h years = 2h + h

∴ His age after h years = 3h

Bill's age after h years is 3h

∵ Charles is 8 years old now

∵ His age after h years = his age now + h

∴ His age after h years = 8 + h

Charles' age after h years is 8 + h

Add their ages after h years

∵ The sum of their ages after 8 years = 2h + 3h + 8 + h

- Add like terms

∴ The sum of their ages after 8 years = (2h + 3h + h ) + 8

∴ The sum of their ages after 8 years = 6h + b

The sum of their ages after h years is 6h + 8
