What is the factored form of the expression?<br><br> d^2 = 36d + 324

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$(x-43.45)(x+7.45)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic equation $d^{2}=36d+324$ i.e. $d^{2}-36d-324=0$

As, the roots of the quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ are given by $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ .

So, from the given equation, we have,

a = 1, b = -36 , c = -324.

Substituting the values in $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get,

$x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{(-36)^{2}-4\times 1\times (-324)}}{2\times 1}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{1296+1296}}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{2592}}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm 50.9}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36+50.9}{2}$ and $x=\frac{36-50.9}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{86.9}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-14.9}{2}$

i.e. x = 43.45 and x = -7.45

Thus, the roots of the equation are 43.45 and -7.45.

Hence, the factored form of the given expression will be $(x-43.45)(x+7.45)=0$

It is C, if it falls 14 ft. and it travels back up 7 ft. and then falls another 7 ft, and stops at the ground now you add it all up 14+7+7=28. hope that helps you.

Explain how 2 plus 2 Equals 4

aivan3 [116]

You have 2+2 in each 2 there are 1's so

2=(1+1) 2=(1+1) =4
4=1+1+1+1
2+2=4
think of 2's as 1's when adding did you know 2x2= 4 as well.
