X ² - x - 4 = 0
x_{1}  = \frac{1+ \sqrt{1+16}  }{2}= \frac{1+ \sqrt{17} }{2} = 2.56
x_{2} =  \frac{1- \sqrt{17} }{2}= - 1.56
Exact values are x 1 = 2.56 and x 2 = -1.56

Answer:

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}  and x=\frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - x - 4 = 0

To solve for x , apply quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

a=1 , b= -1 , c= -4

Plug in all the values in the formula

x=\frac{-(-1)+-\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-4)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{1+-\sqrt{1+16}}{2}

x=\frac{1+-\sqrt{17}}{2}

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}  and x=\frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2}

Question part points submissions used this exercise involves the formula for the area of a circular sector. find the area of a s
kolezko [41]
The formula for the area of a sector in radians is  A= \frac{1}{2}r^2 \theta,  where theta is the angle in radians.  For us, the formula looks like this:   A= \frac{1}{2}(9)^2* \frac{3 \pi }{5}.  Doing all the multiplication on that gives us  A= \frac{243 \pi }{10}.  Multiplying in pi and rounding to the nearest tenth gives us an area of 76.3 meters squared.  You can use the formula for the area of a sector with the angle in degrees as well.  Just replace the 360 degrees with 2pi and it works the exact same way.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 40 meters. The depth of the pool is constant along west-east lines and increases line
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Volume is 2000\pi\ m^{3}

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter, d = 40 m

Radius, r = 20 m

Now,

From north to south, we consider this vertical distance as 'y' and height, h varies linearly as a function of y:

iff

h(y) = cy + d

Then

when y = 1 m

h(- 20) = 1 m

1 = c.(- 20) + d = - 20c + d              (1)

when y = 9 m

h(20) = 9 m

9 = c.20 + d = 20c + d                  (2)

Adding eqn (1) and (2)

d = 5 m

Using d = 5 in eqn (2), we get:

c = \frac{1}{5}

Therefore,

h(y) = \frac{1}{5}y + 5

Now, the Volume of the pool is given by:

V = \int h(y)dA

where

A = r\theta

A = rdr\ d\theta

Thus

V = \int (\frac{1}{5}y + 5)dA

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{20} (\frac{1}{5}rsin\theta + 5) rdr\ d\theta

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{20} (\frac{1}{5}r^{2}sin\theta + 5r}) dr\ d\theta

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi} (\frac{1}{15}20^{3}sin\theta + 1000) d\theta

V = [- 533.33cos\theta + 1000\theta]_{0}^{2\pi}

V = 0 + 2\pi \times 1000 = 2000\pi\ m^{3}
