For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

x ^ 2-5x-8 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to find the solutions:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Where:

a = 1\\b = -5\\c = -8

Substituting we have:

x = \frac {- (- 5) \pm \sqrt {(- 5) ^ 2-4 (1) (- 8)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {5 \pm \sqrt {25 + 32}} {2}\\x = \frac {5 \pm \sqrt {57}} {2}

In this way we have two roots:

x_ {1} = \frac {5+ \sqrt {57}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {5- \sqrt {57}} {2}

Answer:

x_ {1} = \frac {5+ \sqrt {57}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {5- \sqrt {57}} {2}

J(–6, 2) and K(3, 2) are the endpoints of the base of an isosceles triangle. Give the x-coordinate of the third vertex.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot J and K in a coordinate plane, you see that the line formed is a perfectly horizontal line through y = 2.  In order for this triangle to be an isosceles, the third x-coordinate would have to be located midway through the x-coordinates of the base.  The midpoint between the x-coordinates is found by adding the 2 x-coordinates and dividing the sum by 2.  -6+\3 = -3 and -3/2 = -3/2.  So the x-coordinate is -3.2 or -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let\ say\ r \ the \common\ ratio:\\a)a_4=r^2*a_2=9*a_2\Longrightarrow\ r=3\ (not\ -3\ since\ parts\ are\ positive)\\\\b)\\\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i =a_1+a_2+a_3+...+a_n\\\\=a_1+a_1*r+a_1*r^2+a_1*r^3+...+a_1*r^{n-1}\\\\=a_1*(1+r+r^2+...+r^{n-1})\\\\=a_1*\dfrac{r^n-1}{r-1} \\\\147620=5*\frac{(3^n-1)}{3-1} \\\\3^n-1=\frac{2*147620}{5} \\\\3^n=59049 \\\\n*ln(3)=ln(59049)\\\\n=\dfrac{ln(59049)}{ln(3)} \\\\n=10\\\\a_n=5*3^{10-1}=5*19683=98415(cm)

This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:

f(x) = a(b)^x

In this case...

25143 = a(0.66)^3

25143 is the population after 3 hours.

3 is the amount of time in hours.

0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).

We must solve for a, which is the initial population.

First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.

25143 = 0.2874a

Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.

a = 87455

There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
