25x^2+1=5 quadratic

Olenka [21]

25x² + 1 = 5

25x² + 1 - 5 = 0

25x² - 4 = 0 By difference of two squares

(5x)² - (2)² = 0

(5x - 2)(5x + 2) = 0

5x - 2 = 0 or 5x + 2 = 0

5x = 0 + 2 5x = 0 - 2

5x = 2 5x = -2

x = 2/5 x = -2/5

x = 0.4 x = -0.4

x = + 0.4 or -0.4

A curious patterns occurs in a group of people who all shake hands with one another. It turns out that you can predict the numbe

Missing part of the question

Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)

Answer:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 5 people

$\begin{array}{cc}{People} & {Handshakes} & {5} & {4} & {4} & {3} & {3} & {2} & {2} & {1} & {1} & {0} &{Total} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

$(n - 1) + (n - 2) + (n - 3) + ........ + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0$

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}{(T_1 + T_n})$

Where

$T_1 = n - 1$ --- The first term

$T_n = 0$ --- The last term

So:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1 + 0)$

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$
