Use completing the square to solve the equation x^2+16x=-44.

Mathematics

Sidana [21]4 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

our equation is x²+16x = -44

  • x²+16x= -44
  • x² is the first term so weill have in the middle 2*x* a number
  • x²+2*x*8 = -44
  • the third term is 8² wich is 64 so we will add it in both sides
  • x²+2*x*8+64 = -44+64
  • (x+8)² = 20

Now that we have completed the perfect square let's solve the equation

  • (x+8)² = 20
  • x+8 = \sqrt{20}or x+8= -\sqrt{20}
  • x = -8+\sqrt{20} or x =  -8- \sqrt{20}

so the first answer is the correct one

64; 8 +/- \sqrt{20}

Rewrite the equation
x^2+16x=-44

Complete the square on the left hand side and add the answer to the right side to balance it
(16/2)^2=(8)^2=64
x^2+16x+64=-44+64

Simplify the equation
(x+8)^2=20

Find the roots of both sides
x+8=4.5 to nearest tenth
x=4.5-8
x=-3.5

Hope it helps

Explain how you would name a sorting rule for 1 square, 1 rectangle, and 1 triangle.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

We can sort them by the number of corners or sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can sort the given figures such as:

1 square, 1 rectangle, and 1 triangle.

by the number of corners each have as we know that a triangle has three corners or the vertex while a square and a rectangle have four corners.

Also a triangle is a polygon which is made up of three sides while a rectangle and a square are made up of four sides.

The time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with l=0.0003
Dvinal [7]

Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

1 - 0.12245642825 = 0.87754

If quadrilateral PQRS is a kite, which statements must be true? Check all that apply.
mel-nik [20]

A kite is a quadrilateral in which two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent (“disjoint pairs” means that one side can’t be used in both pairs).

Then:

  • Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent by definition - QP≅QR and QR is not congruent to RS (one side can’t be used in both pairs);
  • One diagonal (segment QS, the main diagonal) is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal (segment PR, the cross diagonal), so PM≅MR;
  • The opposite angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal are congruent, thus ∠QPS≅∠QRS.
  • ∠PQR is not congruent to ∠PSR, because they are not angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal.

Answer: correct options are A, B and E.

The life of light bulbs is distributed normally. The variance of the lifetime is 900 and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 520 hour
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

0.969

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean lifetime (m) = 520 hours

Variance = 900

Hence, standard deviation (s) = √900 = 30

Probability that bulb will last for at most 576 hours

X ≤ 576

Obtain the standardized score :

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - m) / s

Zscore = (576 - 520) / 30

Zscore = 56 / 30

Zscore = 1.867

P(Z ≤ 1.867) : using the z probability calculator ;

P(Z ≤ 1.867) = 0.96905

Hence, P(Z ≤ 1.867) = 0.969
