Find the value of k and x2<br> x^2+ 13x + k = 0, x1=-9
Anarel [89]

Given:

The quadratic equation is:

x^2+13x+k=0

x_1=-9

To find:

The value of k and x_1.

Solution:

We have,

x^2+13x+k=0                ...(i)

Putting x=-9, we get

(-9)^2+13(-9)+k=0

81-117+k=0

-36+k=0

k=36

Putting k=36 in (i), we get

x^2+13x+36=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+9x+4x+36=0

x(x+9)+4(x+9)=0

(x+9)(x+4)=0

x=-9,-4

Here, x_1=-9 and x_2=-4.

Therefore, the required values are k=36 and x_2=-4.

The total rainfall in Forks, Washington, this October was 8 3/8 in. In September, 60% less rain fell than in October.
lakkis [162]
Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.

This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.

8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10

67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35

28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 =   7
40 ÷ 2 = 20

In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.

PLEASE HELP ;)<br> Who did it right?<br><br> Find the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=8
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Marissa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find perpendicular slope you basically take the slope of the given line and reverse whatever sign it had previously. (If it was negative, it would become positive. If it was positive it would become negative.)

By doing -A/B it make the previous slope negative.

Brandon only flipped the fraction which would just result in the slope being slightly steeper, or in this case, less steep than the previous line, rather than making it perpendicular.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Please help me with my homework I don't understand it ​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Part A:

0.1111111111111 = 1/9

Part B:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

When I put 0.111111111 into my calculator I get a conversion of 1/9.

Part B:

The fraction 1/9 means that for every 9 kids he surveyed, 1 of them replied "yes."

So covert 1/9 into x/27

27/9 = 3 which means 9 goes into 27, 3 times.

Multiply 1 by 3.

1 x 3 = 3

Put into fraction form

3/27

This means 3 students out of 27 answered "yes."
