5x^2=x+1 solve using completion of squares

1 answer:

8 0

Take everything to one side and equate it to zero
So: 5x^2 -x -1=0
Next factorise so it’s 5(x^2-1/5)-1=0
So: 5(x-1/5) ^2 -1=0
So complete the square
First of all remove the five by division (x- ((1/5)/2)^2+ (1/5/2)^2 ) -1 =0
So (x- 1/10)^2 +1/5 +1/100 =0
Answer is (x-1/10)^2 -21/100 =0
Take -21/100 to the other side so:
(x-1/10)^2 = 21/100
Square root both sides so
(X-1/10) = square root of 21/100
Take -1/10 to the other side so
X= 1/10 + square root of 21/100

What is a relative frequency?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

"A relative frequency distribution is a table that shows the relative frequency for all categories as shown below. Notice that the sum of the relative frequencies is always equal to 1. The percentage of a category is found by multiplying the relative frequency of that category by 100."

Near the equator, the earth rotates approximately 34 kilometers every 32 seconds. what is the speed of earth's rotation near the

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The earth rotates 34 km every 32 seconds. We can simplify this by dividing both sides by 32. Now, we have 34/32 km every 32 seconds. Now, to further simplify this, we need to convert 34/32 to a mixed number 34/32 = 1 2/32 which then can be simplified to 1 1/16. So, near the equator, the speed of Earth's rotation is 1 1/16 km per second.
