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

1 answer:

5 0

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

Mr. Nelson drove for 6 2/3 hours at an average of 57 mph. How far did he drive?

xxMikexx [17]

$6\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{6\cdot3+2}{3}=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\\v=57mph;\ t=\dfrac{20}{3}h;\ s=?$

substitute

$\dfrac{s}{\frac{20}{3}}=57\ \ \ |\cdot\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\s=57\cdot\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\s=19\cdot20\\\\s=380\ miles$

Answer: 380miles.
