Solve 2x2 + 12x − 14 = 0 by completing the square.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the solutions are 1 and -7

Step-by-step explanation:

first add 14 to both sides

2x²+12x=14

2(x²+6x)=14 now find half of 6x and square it, then add it to both sides

2(x²+6x+9)=14+18(9 was multiplied by 2)

no factor

2(x+3)²=32 divide both sides by 2

(x+3)²=16 square root both sides

x+3=+/- 4 subtract 3

x= 4-3=1

x= -4-3=-7

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8 + 4 = 2(x + 1)

Combine like terms: 8 + 4 = 12

12 = 2(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:

12 = 2(1 + x)

12 = (1 * 2 + x * 2)

12 = (2 + 2x)

Solving

12 = 2 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, and all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

12 + -2x = 2 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

12 + -2x = 2 + 0

12 + -2x = 2

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + -2x = 2 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + -2x = 2 + -12

-2x = 2 + -12

Combine like terms: 2 + -12 = -10

-2x = -10

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5

5. What is the volume of the geometric solid produced by the triangle below when it is
IgorLugansk [536]

The diagram of the triangle is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Surface area = 9.425 sq.units

Step-by-step explanation:

When a triangle having an interior angle as 30°, 60° or 90° is rotated, then a cone is formed.

Thus, we need to find the surface area of the cone.

Surface area of a cone is πr ² + πrL

where;

r = radius of the cone

L = slant height of the cone

I have attached the cone formed as the second image.

Looking at the image of the cone, we need to find the radius and slant height.

From the triangle image, we can use trigonometric ratios;

tan 30 = BC/AB

In surd form, BC/AB = 1/√3

Thus, BC is equivalent to 1 and AB equivalent to √3

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find AC.

(AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

AC = √[(AB)² + (BC)²]

AC =√[(√3)² + (1)²]

AC = √[3 + 1]

AC = √4

AC = 2

So, radius, r corresponds to BC = 1

And slant height L corresponds to AC = 2.

Thus,r = 1 and L = 2

So,

Surface area of cone = π(1)² + π(1)(2) = π + 2π = 9.425 sq.units

Halfway through a bus route, 23 students have been dropped off and 48 students remain on the bus. Write an equation to determine
jonny [76]

Answer: The required equation is

x=23+48\\\Rightarrow\ x=71

Thus, there are 71 students on the bus at the beginning of the route.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of students dropped off = 23

The number of students remain on the bus = 48

Let 'x' be the total number of students in the bus then we get the equation as

x=23+48

On adding 23 to 48, we get 71

Hence,x=71

Therefore, There are 71 students on the bus at the beginning of the route.
