When 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number, then the negative solution is -1

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that when 6 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 5 times the number

To find: negative solution

Let "a" be the unknown number

Let us analyse the given sentence

square of a number = a^2

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = a^2 - 6

5 times the number = 5 \times a

<em><u>So we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

6 is subtracted from the square of a number = 5 times the number

a^2 - 6 = 5 \times a\\\\a^2 -6 -5a = 0\\\\a^2 -5a -6 = 0

<em><u>Let us solve the above quadratic equation</u></em>

For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Here in this problem,

a^2-5 a-6=0 \text { we have } a=1 \text { and } b=-5 \text { and } c=-6

Substituting the values in above quadratic formula, we get

\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25+16}}{2}=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{5 \pm 7}{2}}\end{array}

We have two solutions for "a"

\begin{array}{l}{a=\frac{5+7}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{5-7}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{12}{2} \text { and } a=\frac{-2}{2}}\end{array}

<h3>a = 6 or a = -1</h3>

We have asked negative solution. So a = -1

Thus the negative solution is -1

Find the surface area of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of y = x2, y = 0, x = 0, and x = 2 ab
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs can be calculated using formula

SA=2\pi \int\limits^a_b f(x)\sqrt{1+f'^2(x)} \, dx

If f(x)=x^2, then

f'(x)=2x

and

b=0\\ \\a=2

Therefore,

SA=2\pi \int\limits^2_0 x^2\sqrt{1+(2x)^2} \, dx=2\pi \int\limits^2_0 x^2\sqrt{1+4x^2} \, dx

Apply substitution

x=\dfrac{1}{2}\tan u\\ \\dx=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{\cos ^2 u}du

Then

SA=2\pi \int\limits^2_0 x^2\sqrt{1+4x^2} \, dx=2\pi \int\limits^{\arctan(4)}_0 \dfrac{1}{4}\tan^2u\sqrt{1+\tan^2u} \, \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{\cos^2u}du=\\ \\=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\int\limits^{\arctan(4)}_0 \tan^2u\sec^3udu=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\int\limits^{\arctan(4)}_0(\sec^3u+\sec^5u)du

Now

\int\limits^{\arctan(4)}_0 \sec^3udu=2\sqrt{17}+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (4+\sqrt{17})\\ \\ \int\limits^{\arctan(4)}_0 \sec^5udu=\dfrac{1}{8}(-(2\sqrt{17}+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln(4+\sqrt{17})))+17\sqrt{17}+\dfrac{3}{4}(2\sqrt{17}+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (4+\sqrt{17}))

Hence,

SA=\pi \dfrac{-\ln(4+\sqrt{17})+132\sqrt{17}}{32}

Each sister bought a gift for their mom. Maggie spent 3 times as much as Karen. Karen spent half as much as Jasmine. Altogether,
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Maggie spent =30

Karen spent = 10

Jasmine spent =20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this we use algebra to solve.we give the sisters unknowns, to help us solve the equation.

we dont know how much jasmine used so we give her the unknown x.you can use any letter but ill us x.

karen used half as much as karen so we give her 1/2x because it was half of jasmine.maggie used 3 times that of karen so w give her 3(1/2x).

maggie =3(1/2x)

Karen =1/2x

jasmine =x

3(1/2x) + 1/2x + x = 60

3/2x + 1/2x + x = 60

2x + x = 60

3x=60

x=20

where we have x =we replace with 20

e.g karen 1/2x => 1/2 x 20 =10

if you need any clarifications please do tell me in the comment section.i would like to help more if you need help.thx

     Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest anwer thx
