Solve x^2 +14x = -24 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

1 answer:

3 0

Start with <span>x^2 +14x = -24,

Find HALF the value of 14: 7
Square this: 49
Add 49, and then subtract 49: x^2 + 14x + 49 - 49 = -24 We have a
perfect square
Rewrite the quadratic as the sq. of a binomial: trinomial on
the left
(x+7)^2 = 25

Take the sqrt of both sides: x+7 = plus or minus 5

Then x = -2 and x = -12</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i assume x+y=6(1/2)=\frac{13}{2}

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{x}{\frac{13}{2}-x}=\frac{2x}{13-2x}\\65-10x=16x \\26 x=65\\2x=5\\x=\frac{5}{2}\\y=\frac{13}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$

PLEASE HELP<br><br> Which of the following is the inverse of f(x)=3-x/5

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

f^-1(x) = 3 - 5x, second option

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the inverse simply interchange the variables and solve for y;

f(x) = 3 - x / 5 -> Interchange the variables

x = 3 - y/5 -> Multiply either side by 5

5x = 3 - y -> Subtract three from either side

- y = 5x - 3 -> Divide either side by - 1

y = - 5x + 3

Your solution is f^-1(x) = 3 - 5x
