Answer:

x=26

Step-by-step explanation:

first rewrite the problem since u know that G(x)=-48

-48=-3/2x-9

second you want to add the 9 to -48 which gives u -39

-39=-3/2x

third you want to times the reciprocal so it would be

-2/3 times -39/1

u can cross out the negatives and turn them into a positive

fourth you can cross cancel 3 and 39 which now the problem looks like this

2/1 times 13/1

which you would times 2 and 13 which your answer would be

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Option D. two complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ the discriminant D is equal to

$D=(b^{2}-4ac)$

in this problem we have

$3x^{2} -2x+1=0$

$a=3\\b=-2\\c=1$

substitute the values

$D=(-2^{2}-4(3)(1))$

$D=(4-12)$

$D=-8$

The discriminant is negative

therefore

The quadratic equation has two complex roots

luisa has 12 playing cards.she place 2 out of every 3 cards face up how many cards are face up and how many are face down

Natasha2012 [34]

If 2/3 of the cards are face-up, then 2/3*12=8 cards are face-up. The remaining 12-8=4 cards are therefore face down.

Find x.<br> 14 in.<br> 48 in.<br> X =<br> in.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

x = 50 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

14^2 + 48^2 = x^2

196 + 2304 = x^2

2500 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(2500) = sqrt(x^2)

50 =x

x = 50 in

A life guard in a tower 20 ft above sea level spots a struggling surfer at an angle of depression of 15 . How far is the surfer

GalinKa [24]

Answer: $19.31\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The tower is at a height of $h=20\ ft$

the angle of depression is $15^{\circ}$

Suppose the surfer is x ft away from the base of the tower

$\therefore \text{From the figure, we can write}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos 15^{\circ}=\dfrac{x}{h}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\cos 15^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow x=20\cos 15^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow x=19.31\ ft$

Therefore, the surfer is at a distance of 19.31 ft from the base of the tower.
