Find the roots of the parabola given by the following equation. 2x2+ 5x - 9 = 2x

Answer:

x=-3 or x=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

2x^2+5x-9=2x

We are asked to find the roots.  That means just solve it for x.

2x^2+5x-9=2x

Subtract 2x on both sides:

2x^2+3x-9=0

Let's see if we can put this in factored form.

Compare

2x^2+3x-9=0

and

ax^2+bx+c=0.

a=2, b=3 , c=-9

We have to find two numbers that multiply to be ac and add up to be b.

ac=-18

b=3

What are two numbers that multiply to be -18 and add to be 3?

Say -3 and 6.

So we are going to factor 2x^2-3x+6x-9=0

The first two terms have a common factor of x.

The last two terms have a common factor of 3.

2x^2-3x+6x-9=0

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

Now we can factor the (x-3) out of those 2 terms there since they share that common factor:

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

(x+3)(2x-3)=0 implies x+3=0  or 2x-3=0.

So we must solve x+3=0   and 2x-3=0

x+3=0

Subtract 3 on both sides:

x=-3

2x-3=0

Add 3 on both sides:

2x=3

Divide both sides by 2:

x=3/2

The solutions are x=3 or x=-3/2

QUESTION IS DOW BELOW 5 POINTS EACH PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP
sveticcg [70]

a. Central angle in the circle is: Angle BAC

b. A major arc is: Arc BEC

c. A minor arc is: Arc BC

d. m(arc BEC) = 260°.

e. m(arc BC) = 100°.

<h3>What is the Central Angle Theorem?</h3>

The central angle theorem states that: the central angle measure of a circle equals the measure of the intercepted arc.

<h3>What is a Central Angle?</h3>

A central angle is formed by two radii of a circle, and the vertex of the angle is at the center of the circle.

<h3>What is a Major Arc?</h3>

Any arc that is more than half a circle (semicircle) or has a measure that is greater than 180 degrees, is referred to as a major arc of that circle. The measure of the major arc > 180 degrees.

<h3>What is a Minor Arc?</h3>

Any arc that is not more than half a circle (semicircle) or has a measure that is less than 180 degrees, is referred to as a minor arc of that circle. The measure of the minor arc < 180 degrees.

a. One central angle that can be identified in circle A is: Angle BAC

b. A major arc that can be identified in circle A is: Arc BEC

c. A minor arc that can be identified in circle A is: Arc BC.

d. According to the central angle theorem, we have:

m(arc BEC) = 360 - 100

m(arc BEC) = 260°

e. We are given that m(angle BAC) = 100°, therefore, according to the central angle theorem, we have:

m(arc BC) = m(angle BAC )

m(arc BC) = 100°

Is 1/8 less than 1/6?
trasher [3.6K]
1/8 or 1/6 
which is greater 

1) Lets make the fraction into a percent 
1/8 ⇒ 1 ÷ 8 =  0.125 
0.125 x 100 = 12.5%

1/6 ⇒ 1 ÷ 6 = 0.16....
0.16.. x 100 = 16.6.. = 16.7%

1/8 is bigger since it is closer to 0. 

Hope this helps
