How do you solve 6x^2 +12x-48=0 by completing the square?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -4  and x = 2

Through the Completing the Square process below:

Step-by-step explanation:

solve 6x^2 +12x-48=0

first divide out the 6

x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0

Then use the Diamond method:

-8 = -2*4 ,   and  -2 + 4 = 2

so

x^2 - 2x + 4x - 8 = 0

x(x - 2) + 4*(x -2) = 0

(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0

so, solve  x + 4 = 0    and  (x - 2) = 0

x = -4  and x = 2

A cola-dispensing machine is set to dispense a mean of 2.02 liters into a bottle labeled 2 liters. Actual quantities dispensed v
sammy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  cola-dispensing machine is set to dispense a mean of 2.02 liters into a bottle labeled 2 liters.

Std deviation =0.015 litres

X- litres contained in a bottle is N(2.02, 0.15)

Z score is obtained as z=\frac{x-2.02}{0.015}

a) probability a bottle will contain between 2.00 and 2.03 liters

=P(2<x<2.03) = P(-1.33<Z<2)

= 0.4082+0.4772

=0.8854

b) P(X<2) = P(Z<-1.33) =0.5-0.4082 = 0.0918

c) 2% of containers

|z|<0.11

X lies between 0.6883 and 3.352 l

2. Four less than six times a number is 32. Write and solve an equation.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

6x - 4 = 32. The variable (times a number) is equal to 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

So this equation is basically asking you to formulate an equation using only the words given. For this equation, let's use a variable in place of the part where it says "times a number." When a question says that phrase, that means that they are telling you to use a variable in place of a mystery number. A variable is a letter in place of a mystery number. Knowing this, let's now solve the equation. We will use the variable x in place of our mystery number.

Four less than 6 times a number: 6x - 4 _ __.

Now we can add the equal sign and the 32: 6x - 4 = 32.

We can now solve. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4:

6x - 4 = 32

    <u>+4   + 4</u>

6x  =    36

Now we divide 6 into both sides of the equation to single out the x.

<u>6x = 36</u>

6      6

36/6 = 6, so:

x = 6

I hope that this helps.

Find the area:......Brainliest........
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average length of the weird trapezoidal shape on the left is

(2 m + 10 m)/2, or 6 m.  The width is 4 m, so the area is 24 m^2.

The area of the semicircle is (1/2)(pi)(2 m)^2, or 2pi m^2.

Thus, the overall area of the green shape is 24 m^2 + 2pi m^2.

Which statement best describes how the volume of a square-based pyramid is related to the volume of a cube?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The options are not clearly written but, the volume of square based pyramid is 1/6 the volume of a cube because each of the six faces of the cube will contain one square based pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each side of your cube be x

the height of each of the six enclosed pyramids would be x/2. So the volume of each pyramid would be given by:

V = (1/3) × base area × height

V = (1/3) × x^2 × (x/2) = (x^3)/6
