Please help solve x^2-2x-4=0

1 answer:

8 0

Simple....

you have $x^{2} -2x-4=0$

To solve...you must complete the square...

use $( \frac{b}{2} ) ^{2}$ to create a new term...

x=1(+/-) $\sqrt{5}$

Thus, your answer.

(Or, x≈3.23606797, -1.236067967)

If f(x) =3x-5 them find values of f(3) and f(-7). please explain step by step

LenKa [72]

Answer:

f(3) = 4

f(-7) = -26

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$f(x) =3x-5$

To find f(3), replace every x with 3:

$f(3) =3(3)-5\\f(3) =9-5\\f(3) =4$

Therefore, f(3)=4.

$f(x) =3x-5$

To find f(-7), replace every x with -7:

$f(-7) =3(-7)-5\\f(-7) =-21-5\\f(-7) =-26$

Therefore, f(-7)=-26.

I hope this helps!

Find the area of the triangle

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The Area of Δ ABC = 219.13

Step-by-step explanation:

The hard part about this problem is finding the area without the height

The formula to do this is Area = $\sqrt{S(S-A)(S-B)(S-C)}$

A, B, C represent the sides

S represents $\frac{1}{2}$ (A + B + C)

In this equation, we will make the base be A, and the other two sides will be B and C

Sides B and C are the same length because they meet at a 90° angle

Lets plug the numbers into the variables

A = 28

B= 21

C= 21

Remember: S represents $\frac{1}{2}$ (A + B + C)

S = $\frac{1}{2}$ (28 + 21 + 21)

S = $\frac{1}{2}$ (70)

S = 35

Lets plug the numbers into the Area Formula now!

Area = $\sqrt{35(35 - 28)(35 - 21)(35 - 21)}$

According to the order of operations, we need to do the calculations in parentheses first

35 - 28 = 7

35 - 21 = 14

14 x 14 x 7 = 1372

1372 x 35 = 48020

$\sqrt{48020}$ = 219.13

The Area of Δ ABC = 219.13
