1/2x^2 + 4x - 1 = 0 How to factor it

Mathematics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x + 4 - 3√2 and x + 4 + 3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

When other methods seem to difficult to apply, try using the quadratic formula:

Here a = 1/2, b = 4 and c = -1.

Then the "discriminant" is b^2 - 4ac, or

(4)^2 - 4(1/2)(-1), or 16 + 2 = 18

Then the roots are:

     

      -4 ± √18, or -4 ± 3√2

and thus the factors are x + 4 - 3√2 and x + 4 + 3√2

x = ---------------------

It takes 12 hours for a single hose to fill a large vat. When a second hose is added, the vat can be filled in 4 hours. How many
aksik [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.

That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.

The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.

_____

The first hose's rate of doing work is ...

... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour

If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...

... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)

... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour

... h = 1/6 vat/hour

so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.
