Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x-1 = 2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x² + x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 2 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - \frac{3}{2}

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. It's length is 8 ft. Longer than twice it's width. Find the length and w
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: length = 24 ft

Width = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the barn.

Let W represent the width of the barn.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that

LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that

L = 2W + 8

Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 8) = 192

2W² + 8W = 192

2W² + 8W - 192 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

W² + 4W - 96 = 0

W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0

W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0

(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0

W = 8 or W = - 12

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8

L = 192/W = 192/8

L = 24

Can pls someone help and show me how to solve i’m<br> really struggling
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

∠RQS = 156

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠TQS = 24

∠TQS and ∠RQS are linear pair. Linear pair are two adjacent angles and their sum is 180

∠TQS + ∠RQS = 180

  24 + ∠RQS = 180

         ∠RQS = 180 - 24

        ∠RQS = 156

The answers to each of the given problems are;

1) Sum of two smallest integers  = 23

2) 3x + 6

3) 7.5 m/s²

<h3>How to find the sum of consecutive Integers?</h3>

1) We are told that sum of 4 consecutive integers is increased by 20 and equals 70. Thus, we have;

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + 20 = 70

4x + 26 = 70

4x = 70 - 26

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

Thus, sum of two smallest integers = 11 + 11 + 1 = 23

2) Let the consecutive odd numbers be;

x, (x + 2) and (x + 4)

Sum of these consecutive odd numbers is;

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6

3) We are given the equation to find the acceleration as;

(v_final)² - (v_initial)² = 2ad

We are given;

v_final = 40 m/s

v_initial = 10 m/s

d = 100 m

Thus;

40² - 10² = 2a(100)

1500 = 200a

a = 1500/200

a = 7.5 m/s²
