Answer:

The final answers are x = 10.385 OR x = -0.385  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation is x^2 -4 = 10x

Rewriting it in quadratic form as:- x^2 -10x -4 = 0.

a = 1, b = -10, c = -4.

Using Quadratic formula as follows:- x = ( -b ± √(b² -4ac) ) / (2a)

x = ( 10 ± √(100 -4*1*-4) ) / (2*1)

x = ( 10 ± √(100 +16) ) / (2)

x = ( 10 ± √(116) ) / (2)

x = ( 10 ± 10.77 ) / (2)

x = ( 10 + 10.77 ) / (2) OR x = ( 10 - 10.77 ) / (2)

x = 20.77/2 OR x = -0.77/2

x = 10.385 OR x = -0.385

Hence, final answers are x = 10.385 OR x = -0.385

Answer:

x=10.385 or x= -.385

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

x²-4=10x

We have to find the value of x.

x²-4=10x

Adding -10x to both sides of above equation,we get

x²-4-10x=10x-10x

x²-10x-4=0           eq(1)

ax²+bx+c=0 is general form of quadratic equation.

x= (-b±√b²-4ac) / 2a is quadratic formula to find the value of x.

Comparing eq(1) with general quadratic equation,we get

a=1   b=-10 and c=-4

Putting above values in quadratic formula,we get

x=(-(-10)±√(-10)²-4(1)(-4)) / 2(1)

x=(10±√100+16) / 2

x=(10±√116) / 2

x=(10±10.77) / 2

x= 10+10.77 / 2 or x= 10-10.77 / 2

x=20.77 / 2 or x=-.77 / 2

x=10.385 or x= -.385 is solution of given equation.

If cos x=−6/7, and 90°
ankoles [38]

Answer: 0.4693877

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

cos x=−6/7,

From trigonometry :

Cosx + sinx = 1

Cos2x = cos(x + x)

Recall the double angle identity:

Cos2x = 2cos^2x - 1

Sin2x = 1 - 2sin^2x

Since cosx = - 6/7

Then

Cos2x = 2cos^2x - 1

Cos2x = 2cosx^2 - 1

Cos2x = 2(-6/7)^2 - 1

Cos2x = 2(36/49) - 1

Cos2x = 2 * (72/98) - 1

Cos2x = (2 * 0.7346938) - 1

Cos 2x = ( 1.4693877 - 1)

Cos2x = 0.4693877

Tom's school report must be more than 12 pages, he writes at the rate of a half a page a day.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

24 days (or more)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you want to figure out how long it will take Tom to write the minimum amount of pages for his school report at that rate?

Since Tom writes 1/2 a page a day and he must write 12 or more pages, then it will take him 2 days to write one page, thus, 24 days to write 12 pages.

Therefore, Tom needs at least 24 days to write his school report.

Find the area of the irregular shape. Round to the nearest tenth.
svp [43]
Given: 
Irregular Shape: 
Semi-circle and rectangle:

Area of a rectangle = l * w
Area of a semi-circle = (π r²)/2

Area of rectangle = 8 cm * 5 cm = 40cm²
Area of a semi-circle = (3.14 (4²))/2 = (3.14*16)/2 = 50.24/2 = 25.12cm²
4² is taken from diameter of 8cm divided by 2 to get the radius.

Total area = 40 cm² + 25.12 cm² = 65.12 cm²
