7 times a number is 18 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.

1 answer:

7 0

So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)

PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

D.) If soccer balls are sold for $2.05 or $14.61 each, the store will break even but will not make a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume x = selling price of each soccer ball

y = daily profit earned from selling of soccer balls

Given that

Y= $-6x^2+100x-180$

where,

a = -6

b = 100

c = -180

Now we have to applied the formula which is as follows

x $= \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$

$= \frac{-100\pm\sqrt{100^2-4\times -6\times -180}}{2\times -6}$$

$= \frac{-100\pm\sqrt{10,000 - 4,320}}{-12}$$

$= \frac{-100\pm\sqrt{5.680}}{-12}$$

$= \frac{-100 + 75.3658}{-12}$$

$= \frac{24.6342}{-12}$

x^1 = -2.05285

Now

x^2 $= \frac{-100 - 75.3658}{-12}$$

$= \frac{- 175.3658}{-12}$

x^2 = 14.6138

Based on this the option D is most appropriate as per the given situation
