X² - 4x +40=0 How do I solve this

Mathematics
1 answer:
sineoko [7]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this you need 2 numbers whose product is + 40 and whose sum is -4. There are no such numbers so we could use the method of completing the square:

x^2 - 4x + 40 = 90

x^2 - 4x = -40

(x - 2)^2 - 4 = -40

(x - 2)^2 = -36     -  So the roots are complex numbers:

x - 2 = +/-√36

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

Citrus2011 [14]
<span>12.3 Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x. The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2 v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2)) v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative: v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi) Convert to quadratic equation. (3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0 3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0 Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi) The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>

100m world record was completed at an average speed of 37.6 km/h. work out this speed in meters per second?
pickupchik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 3600 s

so,

37.6 km = 37,600 m (still per hour or per 3600 s).

in 1 second now that is

37600/3600 = 10.44444444... m/s
