Answer:

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.

x=  −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac /2a .

a=-2, b=4, c=5.

x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).

x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.

x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.

What is the exact volume of a cylinder that has a height of 1.8 ft and a radius of 6.1 ft?
lozanna [386]
Cylinder area=height times area of base (area of base=area of circle)

height =1.8
radius=6.1
area of circle=pi times r^2


area of circle=pi times 6.1^2=37.21π
times height

1.8 times 37.21π=66.978π

volume=66.978π ft^3

Hurry!
NARA [144]

Ans(a):

Given function is f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}

we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0

so let's solve

x+4≠0 for x

x≠0-4

x≠-4

Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.


Ans(b):

We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)

so we get:

g(x)=f(x)+4

g(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.

Comparision:  

Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).


Ans(c):

To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation

8=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4


8-4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4(x+4)=(3x-1)


4x+16=3x-1


4x-3x=-1-16

x=-17

Hence final answer is x=-17

Twice the difference of a number + -3 is 4 find the number
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to find the hidden number, Which for simplicity's sake we will denote as "n", lets first write out the equation.

"2 x [n + (-3)] = 4"

We can work through this problem backwards. if we need two times the sum of "n" and (-3) to get to 4, the only number that can be multiplied by 2 to get a product of 4 is 2, so "n" + (-3) must equal 2. so, From here, we can figure out that since 5 + (-3) equals 2, "n" Must equal 5. so, if we plug in 5 for "n" the equation looks like this:

"2 x [5 + (-3)] = 4"

So, since the equation makes sense, the answer is, "n = 5"

Help please! (no one was answering it in physics and i really need help)
aivan3 [116]

Let v_0 be the cat's speed just as it leaves the edge of the table. Then taking the point 1.3 m below the edge of the table to be the origin, the cat's horizontal position at time t is given by

x(t)=v_0t

and its height is

y(t)=1.3\,\mathrm m-gt^2

where g is 9.8 m/s^2, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The time it takes for the cat to hit the ground is t with

0=1.3\,\mathrm m-gt^2\implies t=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.3\,\rm m}g}\approx0.36\,\mathrm s

(Unfortunately, this doesn't match any of the given options...)

The cat lands 0.75 m away (horizontally) from the edge of the table, so that its speed v_0 was

0.75\,\mathrm m=v_0(0.36\,\mathrm s)\implies v_0\approx2.08\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

(Again, not one of the answer choices...)

I'm guessing there's either a typo in the question or answers.
