Solve x^2 +5x - 14 = 0​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x - 14 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 7 and - 2, since

7 × - 2 = - 14 and 7 - 2 = + 5 , thus

(x + 7)x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

How many three letter permutations can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

There are 60 permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of three letter permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet is 5P_{3}.

5P_{3} =\frac{5!}{(5-3)!}

=\frac{5!}{2!}

= 60

Hence, there are 60 permutations that can be formed from the first five letters of the alphabet.

5. Sara has a photo that is 5 inches by 7 inches. When she adds a frame
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

  1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 63 are 7 and 9, each of which is 2 more than the dimensions of the photo. Sarah's frame is 1 inch wide.

_____

A 1-inch wide frame adds 2 inches to length and width.

_____

<em>Solution using an equation</em>

If you let w represent the width of the frame, the area of the framed photo is ...

  (5+2w)(7+2w) = 63

  4w^2 +24w -28 = 0 . . . . write in standard form

  w^2 +6w -7 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  (w -1)(w +7) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

The positive solution to this equation is w=1.

The width of the frame is 1 inch.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x =
nydimaria [60]

in such cases where 2 line intersect each other, opposite angels are equal

so

2x+2 = 3x - 52

now subtracting 2 from both side

2x +2 -2 = 3x - 52 - 2

2x = 3x - 54

subtracting 3x from both side

2x -3x = 3x -54 - 3x

-x = -54

drividing by -1 both side

-x/-1 = -54/-1

x = 54
