Solve for a: a(a-3) =100

1 answer:

5 0

$a(a-3) =100\\
a^2-3a-100=0\\
\Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-100)=9+400=409\\
\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqr{409}\\
a_1=\dfrac{-(-3)-\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{409}}{2}\\
a_2=\dfrac{-(-3)+\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{409}}{2}$

Write the equation of a line that goes through the point (-2, 3) with a slope of 2.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

y = 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b The point (-2,3) gives us an x value and a y value that we can use. We are also give the slope (m). All we need to do is figure out the b (y-intercept) value.

y = mx + b

3 = 2(-2) + b

3 = -4 + b Add for to both sides

7 = b We know have every thing that we need to write the equation. We have the slope (m) which is 2 and the b (y-intercept) that we just figured out is 7

y = 2x + 7
