X*a = 244 is equation (1)
x+a = 2 is equation (2)
Solve equation (2) for 'a' to get
x+a = 2
a = 2-x
Call this equation (3)
We will plug equation (3) into equation (1)
x*a = 244
x*(a) = 244
x*(2-x) = 244
Notice how the 'a' is replaced with an expression in terms of x
Let's solve for x
x*(2-x) = 244
2x-x^2 = 244
x^2-2x+244 = 0
If we use the discriminant formula, d = b^2 - 4ac, then we find that...
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4*1*244
d = -972
indicating that there are no real number solutions to the equation x^2-2x+244 = 0
So this means that 'x' and 'a' in those two original equations are non real numbers. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then the answer is simply "no solution". At this point you would stop here.
If you have learned about complex numbers, then the solution set is approximately
{x = 1 + 15.588i, a = 1 - 15.588i}
which can be found through the quadratic formula
Note: it's possible that there's a typo somewhere in the problem that your teacher gave you.
First you do 150 divided by 20, which equals 7.5, so then you would do 7.5 times 6 and that equals 45 minutes. Hope that helped!
Hello,
which principle?
f(x)=-x²+2x
==>f'(x)= -2x+2
You mean maybe this
f(x+h)=-(x+h)²+2(x+h)= -(x²+2hx+h²)+2x+2h
f(x)=-x²+2x
The length of going from one side of the circle to the (opposite) other side.
First, find the area of the plot:
25*10=250
1000/250 is 4
the population density is 4 squirrels per square foot.
