Step - by - Step Explanation
What to find?
• The discriminant d= b² - 4ac
,
• The solution to the quadratic equation.
Given:
5x² - 2x + 1=0
Comparing the given equation with the general form of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c=0
a=5 b=-2 and c=1
Uisng the quadratic formula to solve;
![x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
The discriminant D=b² - 4ac
Substitute the values into the discriminant formula and simplify.
D = (-2)² - 4(5)(1)
D = 4 - 20
D = -16
We can now proceed to find the solution of the quadratic equation by substituting into the quadratic formula;
![x=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt[]{-16}}{2(5)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-%28-2%29%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-16%7D%7D%7B2%285%29%7D)
Note that:
√-1 = i
![x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16\times-1}}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%5Ctimes-1%7D%7D%7B10%7D)
![x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{-1}}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%7D%5Ctimes%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-1%7D%7D%7B10%7D)
That is;
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve the equation:
To do so, we can rewrite the equation.
Recall the double-angle for sine:
By substitution:
Distribute:
We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:
And factor:
Hence, our answer is A.
*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
Use proportion, so multiply 100 by 75, then divide it by 30 and that's your answer.....250
Answer:
81 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3-dimensional shape given is a square pyramid having a square base, and 4 right triangular side faces that are the same.
The surface area can be calculated by finding the area of the square base and the area of the 4 triangular side faces. Then sum all the areas together.
Or, we can use the following formula below: Base Area + ½(Perimeter of base) × Slant Length
Where,
Base area = s² = 5² = 25 in²
Perimeter of base = 4(s) = 4(5) = 20 in
Slant height = 5.6 in
Surface area = 25 + ½(20) × 5.6
= 25 + 10 × 5.6
= 25 + 56
Surface area = 81 in²
