Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:  -1 ± <em>i</em>√35

                  ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                     6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the quadratic equation,

X =  -b ±√b² - 4ac

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

             2a

From the given equation, -3x² - x - 3 = 0

where a = -3, b = -1, c = -3

Now substitute for the values in the formula above

x = -(-1) ± √(-1)² - 4(-3)(-3)

      ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                   2(-3)

x = 1 ± √ 1 - 36

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = 1 ±  √ -35

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = -1  ±  <em>i√35   this is because it has a negative root.</em>

<em>       ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻</em>

<em>            6</em>

<em> The answer is b</em>

The perimeter of a rectangle is 154 feet. The length of the rectangle is 55 feet. What is the width of the rectangle?
alisha [4.7K]
Hi there! Okay well to find out the width when you all ready have the perimeter and length just add up both sides of the length, 55+55=110 okay now just subtract 110 from 154, 154-110=44 now since there are to sides for width in a rectangle divide 44 by 2, 44÷2=22 so your width is 22 now to check add up all your side's: 55+22+55+22=154 ANSWER: width = 22ft

2. A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 15 cm. What are possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle? Explain your reasonin
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Or:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

If we know that H = 15cm, then:

A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2

Now, let's isolate one of the legs:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)

Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.

Then if we have:

B = 1cm

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97

Then we could have:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Now let's try with another value of B:

if B = 9cm, then:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm

Then we could have:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.

Kalon and his friend Marna own a chimney sweep service company. Working together, they can clean a chimney in 1 5/7 hours. If it

So to set up the equation we have: <span><span><span>4M</span><span>4+M</span></span>=<span>127</span></span>
<span>28M=12(4+M)</span>
<span>28M=48+12M</span>
<span>28K−12M=48</span>
<span>(28−12)M=48</span>
<span>16K=48</span>
<span>M=<span>4816</span></span>
<span>M=3</span> So Marna can clean the chimney alone in 3 hours
