Solve 5x^2 +16x -84=0 using the quadratic equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago

In order to find the answer to this question, we need to use the quadratic formula. 

-b +- √b² - 4ac
      2a

In this equation, 5 is a, 16 is b, and -84 is c. You'll notice that the formula says 'plus or minus', meaning that there are two answers depending on whether you add or subtract. Let's start by adding.

-16 + √16² -(4(5)(-84)
         2(5)

Use a calculator to simplify. Remember PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction) when deciding which order to go in.

-16 + 44
      10
2.8

One solution is 2.8. Now, let's do the same thing, but subtract this time. Keep in mind that the number under the radical stays the same, so you don't have to recalculate that.

-16 - 44
     10
-6

The solutions to the equation are 2.8 and -6.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM!!! 50 POINTS!!!
Molodets [167]

Well he started off right by solving for y=y to find the abscissa of the intersection points between the two points,but then he assumed that their ordinate (y coordinates) are both zero,which is incorrect obviously. To find their ordinate,all we have to do is plug the x values into any of the two equations, since they both will pass through that point ੴ

y = 4 x+ 1 \\ y = 4(3) + 1  \\ y = 12 + 1 \\ y = 13

y = 4x + 1 \\ y = 4( - 2) + 1 \\ y =  - 8 + 1 \\ y =  - 7

I chose to plug the values in the second linear equation, since it's easier to compute

PLEASE HELP!!!! <br> Solve the system of equation. Write the solution as a coordinate point.
Dovator [93]

We can just substitute y = 4x+1 in the second equation.

6x-2(4x+1)=-3\\6x-8x-2=-3\\6x-8x-2+3=0\\-2x+1=0\\-2x=-1\\x=\frac{1}{2}

We know the value of x, substitute x in any equations to get the y-value.

4x+1=y\\4(\frac{1}{2})+1=y\\2+1=y\\3=y

The value of y is 3 and the value of x is 0.5 aka 1/2

Since you want the solution as a point then It's below here.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation.

First I would use sine to find x's value. So ----> sin(30) = 7/x ----> x sin(30) = 7 ----> x = 7/sin(30) = 14.

You Can also find that x is equal to 14 by applying the 30, 60, 90, triangle rule. Becuase '7' opposes the 30 degree angle it is 1/2 the hypotenuse, if thats the case just multiply the 7 by 2 and you have the hypotenuse length.
