A) Car A travels x km for every litre of petrol while car B travels

Mathematics
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago

Answer:   16 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

A:   1l          x  km

B:   1l         x+5   km

Running 400 km   A used   400/x  litres

Running  400 km  B used  400/(x+5)  litres

400/x- 400/(x+5)= 4

400*(x+5)- x*400-4*x*(x+5)=0

400*x+2000-400*x-4*x²-20*x=0

2000-4*x²-20*x=0     difide by 4 both sides of equation

500-x²-5*x=0

Lets solve the equation using discriminant:

D=5²-(-1)*4*500=2025

sqrt(D)=45

x1= (5+45)/(-2)= -25          x2=(5-45)/(-2)=20

x1=-25     x2=20

x1<0 so is not the solution of the problem ( number of litres can't  be negative)

So A uses  litr per x=20 km     and B uses 1 litr per 20+5=25 km

Running 400 km B uses 400/25=16 litres

Brainlist to whoever shows me how to solve this step by step.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-4, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient (+2) is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors of the equation, and the constant term (-8) is their product.

Since you're familiar with the divisors of 8, you know that the two factors of -8 that total +2 are -2 and +4. These are the constants in the binomial factors:

  f(x) = x^2 +2x -8

  f(x) = (x -2)(x +4)

The roots of f(x) are the values of x that make these factors be zero. They are x=2 and x=-4.

The roots of f(x) are -4 and 2.

_____

Above is the solution by factoring. We can also "complete the square" to find the roots. Anytime we're looking for roots, we want the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

  x^2 +2x -8 = 0

  x^2 +2x = 8 . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

  x^2 +2x +1 = 8 +1 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient: (2/2)² = 1

  (x +1)² = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . write as squares

  x +1 = ±√9 = ±3 . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -1 ± 3 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The roots are x=-4, x=2.

Anybody know the answers to this frl it’s due in 15 mins
hammer [34]

Answer:

4. j(11) = 8

I think it is linear

5. g(-3) = 18

No, it's a parabola since x is to the second power

6. f(-7) = 5

No, I think it's an absolute value function

7. h(0) = 13

I think it is linear, just the slope is 0
