Solve using quadratic formula for 2x^(2)-10x+5=0
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=\frac{5+\sqrt{15}}{2},\:x=\frac{5-\sqrt{15}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=2,\:b=-10,\:c=5

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-10\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-10\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:2}

\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\cdot \:5}

Apply exponent rule: (-a)^n=a^n, if n is even

\left(-10\right)^2=10^2

=\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot \:2\cdot \:5}

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:2\cdot \:5=40

=\sqrt{10^2-40}

10^2=100

=\sqrt{100-40}

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:100-40=60

=\sqrt{60}

60\:\mathrm{divides\:by}\:2\quad \:60=30\cdot \:2

=2\cdot \:30

30\:\mathrm{divides\:by}\:2\quad \:30=15\cdot \:2

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:15

15\:\mathrm{divides\:by}\:3\quad \:15=5\cdot \:3

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:3\cdot \:5

2,\:3,\:5\mathrm{\:are\:all\:prime\:numbers,\:therefore\:no\:further\:factorization\:is\:possible}

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:3\cdot \:5

=2^2\cdot \:3\cdot \:5

=\sqrt{2^2\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}

Apply Radical Rule:

=\sqrt{2^2}\sqrt{3\cdot \:5}

Apply Radical Rule:

\sqrt{2^2}=2

=2\sqrt{3\cdot \:5}

\mathrm{Refine}

=2\sqrt{15}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-10\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

\mathrm{Separate\:the\:solutions}

x_1=\frac{-\left(-10\right)+2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-10\right)-2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

\frac{-\left(-10\right)+2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

Apply Rule -(-a)=a

=\frac{10+2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:2=4

=\frac{10+2\sqrt{15}}{4}

=\frac{2\left(5+\sqrt{15}\right)}{4}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2

=\frac{5+\sqrt{15}}{2}

\frac{-\left(-10\right)-2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

=\frac{10-2\sqrt{15}}{2\cdot \:2}

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:2=4

=\frac{10-2\sqrt{15}}{4}

=\frac{2\left(5-\sqrt{15}\right)}{4}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2

=\frac{5-\sqrt{15}}{2}

\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}

x=\frac{5+\sqrt{15}}{2},\:x=\frac{5-\sqrt{15}}{2}

Can someone please solve this problem for me
notsponge [240]

Answer:

D. 28.54

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the shaded region, find the area of the circle and divide it in 4. This will the area of the portion with the triangle.

Now, find the area of the triangle and subtract the two. The resulting value will be the area of the shaded region.

Circle:

A = \pi r^2\\A = \pi 10^2\\A = 100 \pi\\A = 314

Divide by 4 for the area of the section with the triangle.

314/4 = 78.5

Triangle:

A = \frac{1}{2}bh\\A = 0.5 (10 )(10)\\A=0.5(100)\\A=50

Subtract the two, 78.5 - 50 = 28.5.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8).
spayn [35]

Answer:

Equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8) is: y = \frac{1}{2}x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points are:

(x_1,y_1) = (12,4)\\(x_2,y_2) = (20,8)

Slope intercept form of line is given as:

y = mx+b

Here m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of a line is calculated by the formula:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Putting the values

m = \frac{8-4}{20-12}\\m = \frac{4}{8}\\m=\frac{1}{2}

Putting the value of slope in slope-intercept form we get

y = \frac{1}{2}x+b

To find the value of b, any one point will be put in the equation

Putting the first point (12,4) in the equation

4 = \frac{1}{2}(12) + b\\4 = 6+b\\b = 4-6\\b = -2

Putting the value of b

y = \frac{1}{2}x-2

Hence,

Equation in slope-intercept form that goes through (12, 4) and (20,8) is: y = \frac{1}{2}x-2
