\bf \textit{quadratic formula}\\

\begin{array}{lcclll}
2x^2&-5x&-6&=0\\
\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
a&b&c
\end{array}
\qquad \qquad 
x= \cfrac{ - {{ b}} \pm \sqrt { {{ b}}^2 -4{{ a}}{{ c}}}}{2{{ a}}}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
x=\cfrac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}\implies x=\cfrac{5\pm\sqrt{25+48}}{4}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{5\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}\implies x=
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{5+\sqrt{73}}{4}\\\\
\cfrac{5-\sqrt{73}}{4}
\end{cases}

Answer:

y=-6/5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b so first lets get it into correct order by subtracting the 6x to the other side.

6x-6x+5y=-5-6x

This gives you

5y=-6x-5

Now you need to isolate the y since the 5 is being multiplied by the variable "y" we need to divide to to separate. Divide all terms by 5.

5y/5=-6/5x+(-5)/5

This gives you your final answer:

y=-6/5x - 1

Explain how to solve 5x2-3x=25 by completing the square. What are the solutions
Vilka [71]

5x2-3x=25

Divide each term by 5:

x^2 - 3/5x = 5

Make a trinomial square of the left side by taking the square of half of the coefficient of x.

The coefficient of x is -3, so the square would be (-3/10)^2

Add that to both sides of the equation.

Now you have:

x^2 - 3/5x + (-3/10)^2 = 5 + (-3/10)^2

Simplify both sides:

x^2 -3/5x +9/100 = 509/100

Factor the trinomial:

(x-3/10)^2 = 509/100

Solve for x, , take the square root of both sides:

x-3/10 = +/-√509 / 100

Simplify the right side:

x-3/10 = +/-√509/10

Add 3/10 to both sides:

X = +/-√509/10 + 3/10 ( this is the exact form)

You can then find the decimal answer if needed.

Alaine has 1 gallon of paint . She is going to pour it into a tray of paint that measures 10 inches wide ,12 inches long , and 5
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The tray measures 10 * 12 * 2 = 240 cubic inches
Since a gallon is 231 cubic inches, it will just fit into the tray.
The paint will be about a tenth of an inch from the top of the tray.

Write the equation of circle with diameter of 10 units centered at (- 2, 1) .
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(x+2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of a circle with a diameter of 10 units centered on (-2, 1).

Recall that the equation of a circle has the standard form:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (<em>h, k</em>) is the center and <em>r</em> is the radius.

Since our diameter is 10, our radius is 5.

And since the center is at (-2, 1), <em>h</em> = -2 and <em>k</em> = 1.

Substitute:

\displaystyle (x - (-2))^2 + (y - (1))^2 = (5)^2

And simplify. Hence, our equation is:

(x+2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25
