Answer:

x = -5 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

x²+9x+20 = 0

We have to solve above equation by factoring.

Step 1.  Split the middle term of given equation so that the sum of two term should be 9 and their product should be 20.

Terms are 4 and 5.

Their product is  4.5 = 20 and their sum is 4+5 = 9

x²+5x+4x+20 = 0

Step 2.   Making two groups and taking common ,we get

x(x+5)+4(x+5) = 0

Step 3.  Taking (x+5) as common , we get

(x+5)(x+4) =0

Step 4.    Applying Zero-Product Property to above equation ,we get

x+5 = 0 and x+4 = 0

Step 5. Separating x,we get

x = -5 or x = -4 Which is the answer.

g For the curve parameterized by x(t) = 3 sin t, y(t) = 5 cost, for −π/4 ≤ t ≤ π/2: (a) Sketch the curve and the direction trace
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

a) See the file below, b) s = \int\limits^{0.5\pi}_{-0.25\pi} {[\left( 3\cdot \cos t\right)^{2}+\left(-5\cdot \sin t \right)^{2}]} \, dx, c) s \approx 9.715

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Points moves clockwise as t increases. See the curve in the file attached below. The parametric equations describe an ellipse.

b) The arc length formula is:

s = \int\limits^{0.5\pi}_{-0.25\pi} {[\left( 3\cdot \cos t\right)^{2}+\left(-5\cdot \sin t \right)^{2}]} \, dx

c) The perimeter of that arc is approximately:

s \approx (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8})\cdot 2 \pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{3^{2}+5^{2}}{2} }

s \approx 9.715

The time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder is s seconds. The distance d you are from lightning is approximate
leonid [27]
The direct variation that can be established using the given parameters is that, the time it takes between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder is directly related to the speed. 

However, it can also be established that the time described above is inversely proportional to the distance. This can be written as,
         t = k/d
We substitute the given expression for each of the known terms. t is time, s, and d is distance, 3s. 

    s = k/3s

The k written in the equation is the constant of proportionality.
