A quadratic equation is shown below:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago
4 0
Part A)

The given equation is:

25 x^{2} +10x+1=0

The radicand or discriminant(d) of the equation will be:

d=(10)^{2}-4(25)(1) \\  \\ 
d=100-100 \\  \\ 
d=0

Since the discriminant is equal to 0, the given quadratic equation has only 1 root. In other words we can say the the given equation is a perfect square. 


Part B)

The given equation is:

4 x^{2} -4x+1=0

We can solve this expression by factorization. Factors of middle term are to be made in such a way that their product equals the product of first and third term and sum is equal to the middle term i.e. product should be 4x² and sum should be -4x.
So the two such terms are -2x and -2x. Using the factors and simplifying the equation by taking common we get:

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

If x - 4 , x + 2 and 3x + 6 form a geometric sequence, find x.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

  • A geometric sequence always has terms that are separated by a common ratio. For example 3 9 27 81 243 ....
  • Each term is multiplied by a common number and the term before it. In this case the common term is 3.
  • To get the next term after 9, you multiply 9 by 3.
  • To get the common ratio divide the second term by the first and then the third term by the second

Equation

(x + 2)/(x - 4) = (3x + 6)/ (x + 2)

Solution

I would begin this problem by taking out the common factor on the top right term. You'll see why in a second.

(x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)/ (x + 2)   Notice the two binomials on the right cancel.

  • (x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3/1                       Cross multiply
  • (x + 2)*1 = 3*(x - 4)                       Remove the brackets on the right.
  • x + 2 = 3x - 12                             Add 12 on both sides.
  • x + 2 + 12 = 3x - 12 + 12              Simplify
  • x + 14 = 3x                                  Subtract x from both sides
  • 14 = 3x - x
  • 2x = 14                                        Divide by 2
  • x = 14/2
  • x = 7

Peter's salary is twice Anne's salary and half of David's salary. Then the average salary of Anne and David is _ of Peter's sala
satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Average of salary of Anne and David is 1.25 of Peter's Salary

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In the question, relations between salaries of Peter, Anne, and David is given. From the given relations, we need to make few equations and calculate the average of Anne and David in terms of Peter's Salary.

Let us assume Peter's Salary as P.

Then we can calculate Anne's salary A = \frac{P}{2}.

Also David's salary = D = 2 \times P

Average of Anne's and David's salary = \frac{A+D}{2}

Average of Anne's and David's salary  = \frac{\frac{P}{2} + 2 \times P}{2}

Average of Anne's and David's salary  = \frac{5 \times P}{4}

Average = 1.25 \times P

The function m=30-3r represents the amount m (in dollars) of money you have after renting r video games.
san4es73 [151]
The domain of the equation are all the possible values of the independent variables that would make the equation reasonable, possible or true. In this item, the independent variable is r. This could take a value of 0 up to the point when m is equal to zero.
        m = 30 - 3r = 0
              r = 10

The domain is therefore [0, 10]. 

The range is the value of the dependent variable which would be from 0 to the point when no video game is played. This is, [0, 30]. 

The function is discrete because r and m cannot take every value in the number line.
