Im assuming you mean 2x^2-3x-9=0 ?
If so, you have to factorise the equation
(2x-3) (x+3) = 0

2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 1.5

x + 3 = 0
x = -3

x is either 1.5 or -3

So  factor

if you have ax^2+bx+c then to factor find
x+y=b
xy=ac
so

a=2
b-03
c=-9
2 times -9=-18

factor -18
-1,18
-2, 9
-3, 6


now add and find the one that adds to -3


-1+18=17
-2+9=7
-3+ 6=3, could work, if signs are reversed

so the numbers are -6 and 3

split -3 up
2x^2-6x+3x-9
group
(2x^2-6x)+(3x-9)
undistribute
(2x)(x-3)+(3)(x-3)
reverse distributive property
ab+ac=a(b+c)
(2x+3)(x-3)


so we can't do anything else because it isn't an equation so it has non meaning

if it does equal zero then
xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so

(2x+3)(x-3)=0 so
2x+3=0 and x-3=0 so

2x+3=0
subtract 3 from both sides
2x=-3
divide by 2
x=-1.5

x-3=0
add 3 to both sides
x=3



x=-1.5 or 3

Consider parallelogram VWXY below.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  • 56°, 84°, 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of a parallelogram</u>

  • Two adjacent angles are supplementary
  • Opposite angles are congruent
  • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent

Use the properties to find the required parameters

1) <u>Find m∠YXV</u>

  • m∠YXV + m∠VXW + m∠VWX = 180°
  • m∠YXV + 40° + 84° = 180°
  • m∠YXV = 180° - 124°
  • m∠YXV = 56°

2) <u>Find m∠Y</u>

  • m∠Y = m∠W = 84°

3) <u>Find x</u>

  • 2x = 6
  • x = 6/2
  • x = 3

A jet climbs at a steady rate at an angle of inclination of 0.5 degree during game off what will its he height be after a 2.2 km
Aneli [31]
A right triangle will be formed with 2.2 km as the hypotenuse, 0.5 degrees as the angle, and an unknown height (see attachment).

Recall the trigonmetric ratios sine, cosine, and tangent that can be used for right triangles.
Sin<span>θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
</span>Cos<span>θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse
</span>tan<span>θ = opposite side / adjacent side
</span>θ (theta) refers to the angle (not the right angle). In this case, θ is the given angle of 0.5°.

In this problem, you will use sine because there is a side opposite to the angle (the unknown side h) and the hypotenuse, and sine relates those two sides.

Let the variable h represent the unknown opposite side, the height.
sin(0.5°) = h / (2.2km)
h = (2.2km)sin(0.5<span>°)
h = 0.019 km

Hope I helped! If you have questions on any of the steps, please comment below.</span>
