Let's solve the equation 2k^2 = 9 + 3k
First, subtract each side by (9+3k) to get 0 on the right side of the equation
2k^2 = 9 + 3k
2k^2 - (9+3k) = 9+3k - (9+3k)
2k^2 - 9 - 3k = 9 + 3k - 9 - 3k
2k^2 - 3k - 9 = 0

As you see, we got a quadratic equation of general form ax^2 + bx + c, in which a = 2, b= -3, and c = -9.
Δ = b^2 - 4ac
Δ = (-3)^2 - 4 (2)(-9)
Δ = 9 + 72
Δ = 81

Δ>0 so the equation got 2 real solutions:
k = (-b + √Δ)/2a = (-(-3) + √81) / 2*2 = (3+9)/4 = 12/4 = 3
AND
k = (-b -√Δ)/2a = (-(-3) - √81)/2*2 = (3-9)/4 = -6/4 = -3/2

So the solutions to 2k^2 = 9+3k are k=3 and k=-3/2

A rational number is either an integer number, or a decimal number that got a definitive number of digits after the decimal point.

3 is an integer number, so it's rational.
-3/2 = -1.5, and -1.5 got a definitive number of digit after the decimal point, so it's rational.

So 2k^2 = 9 + 3k have two rational solutions (Option B).

Hope this Helps! :)

an aircraft carrier leads port heading due west at 28 knots. A helicopter is 175 nautical miles from the carrier at an angle of

emmainna [20.7K]

Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.
