No. To solve the equation it needs to be set to 0.
1. x^2 +7x = 0
Then the GCF needs to be found
2. x(x+7) = 0
Set each to 0
3. x= 0 or x+7=0
Solve for x
4. x=0 or x=-7

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250

What is the interquartile range of 45,60,40,90,60,50,75,120,90
puteri [66]
IQR = 40

1) Put the numbers in order: 40, 45, 50, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 120
2) Find the median: Median is 60 (the 2nd one)
3) Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median. For easy identification of Q1 and Q3. (40, 45, 50, 60,) 60, (75, 90, 90, 120)
4) Find the Q1 and Q3. Q1 = median of the lower half of the data; Q3 = median of the higher half of the data. Q1 and Q3 have even sets so its median cannot be defined.
5) Had both sets contain odd sets, the median of Q1 is subtracted from the median of Q3 to get the IQR.

We can then use the Alternative definition of IQR.
IQR is the difference between the largest and smallest values in the middle 50% of a set data.

40, 45, 50, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 120

Middle 50% is 50, 60, 60, 75, 90; IQR = Largest value - smallest value;

IQR = 90 - 50 = 40

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 + 9x + 18 from x = −10 to x = 10.
igor_vitrenko [27]
The average rate of change formula is 
           f(b) - f(a)
arc = ----------------
               b-a
                    
Here, a= -10 and b = 10

                   (10)^2 + 9(10) + 18 - [ (-10)^2 + 9(-10) + 18]
Here arc = --------------------------------------------------------------
                                     10 - (-10)

10^2 and -(-10)^2 cancel.     18 - 18 cancel.

                                               90 - (-90)            180
This leaves us with     arc = ----------------- = ------------- = 9 (answer)
                                                   20                     20
