The sum of a number and its square is 56. Find the number

1 answer:

5 0

Well we know that it has to square under 56, and the closest square to 56 is 49, which is 7 squared. Let's try that.
The sum of a number (7+) and it's square (7^2) is (=) 56.
Our equation is 7^2 + 7 = 56.
7^2 is 49.
49 + 7 = 56.
Your number is 7.
I hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The point-slope form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m-slope\\\\\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\==============================$

$\text{We have the points (-1, 2) and (3, 1). Substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{1-2}{3-(-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\text{Put the value of a slope and the coordinates of the point (3, 1) }\\\text{to the equation of a line:}\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{4}(x-3)\\\\\text{Convert to the standard form}\ Ax+By=C:\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{4}(x-3)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4y-4=-(x-3)\\\\4y-4=-x-(-3)\qquad\text{add x to both sides}\\\\x+4y-4=3\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x+4y=7$

Write the point-slope form of an equation for the line passing through the point (3, -2) with slope 4.

satela [25.4K]

Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is the slope.
y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4(x - 3)

If 30% of John's photographs were perfect, but 210 photographs were not perfect, then how many photographs were there in all?

anyanavicka [17]

If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect. So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.

p(70/100)=210 multiply both sides by 100

70p=21000 divide both sides by 70

p=300

So there are 300 photographs in all.
