Answer:

-3.5 or -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+19x+40=-2

2x^2+19x+40+2=0

2x^2+19x+42=0

2x^2+(12+7)x+42=0

2x^2+12x+7x+42=0

2x(x+6)+7(x+6)=0

(x+6)(2x+7)=0

either,

x+6=0

x=-6

or,

2x+7=0

2x=-7

x=-7/2

x=-3.5

Evaluate: (9/64)^1/2

Anna [14]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

$(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

$a^{\frac{1}{2} }$ = $\sqrt{a}$

Hence

$\frac{9^{\frac{1}{2} } }{64^{\frac{1}{2} } }$

= $\frac{\sqrt{9} }{\sqrt{64} }$ = $\frac{3}{8}$

Solve. 3(x + 1) - 2x = -6 * x = 1 x = 5 x = -7 x = -9

Vadim26 [7]

The answer is x=9 because if you do 3x+-2 that gives you 1 and 1 divided by 9 is 9 and you get that by getting rid of your 6 first and adding it to the 3 from 3(x+1)

Find the value of x.

Artemon [7]

${5}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {8}^{2}$

$25 + {x}^{2} = 64$

Subtract both sides 25

$25 - 25 + {x}^{2} = 64 - 25$

${x}^{2} = 39$

Thus :

$x = \sqrt{39}$

$x = 6.245$

Find (fog)(x) when f(x)=x^2-7x+12 and g(x)=3/x^2-16

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$f( \frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 } ) = ({\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }})^{2} - 7(\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }) + 12 \\ = \frac{9}{ {x}^{4} - 32 {x}^{2} + 256 } - \frac{21}{ {x}^{2} - 16} + 12$
