Answer:

x= -1, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/4x2+5/2x+21/4=3

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

1/4x2+5/2x+21/4−3=3−3

1/4x2+5/2x+9/4=0

For this equation: a=0.25, b=2.5, c=2.25

0.25x2+2.5x+2.25=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=0.25, b=2.5, c=2.25.

x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a

x=−(2.5)±√(2.5)2−4(0.25)(2.25)/2(0.25)

x=−2.5±√4/0.5

x=−1,−9

choose the equation in point slope form for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given point
alexdok [17]

We want to determine the equation in point slope form for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passing through the point (5.6) .

The equation and the point is;

y=\frac{2}{3}x+9,(5,6)

We know that for two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be -1.

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular should be;

m=-\frac{1}{(\frac{2}{3})}=-\frac{3}{2}

The second condition is that the line must pass through the point (5,6) , to do thid, we write the equation of the line in point slope form which is;

y-y_1=m(x-x_{1_{}})

Inserting all values, we have,

y-6=.-\frac{3}{2}(x-5)

That is the final answer.

Find the length and width of a rectangle whose perimeter is 20 feet and whose area is 21 square feet
ipn [44]

Answer:

Length = 3

Width = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is 20 feet

The area is 21 feet

Let x represent the length

Let y represent the width

20 = 2(x+y)

x+y= 20/2

x+y = 10.........equation 1

x × y= 21......equation 2

From equation 1

x= 10-y

Substitute 10-y for x in equation 2

(10-y)y= 21

10y - y^2 = 21

y^2 -10y + 21= 0

After factorization the result will be

(x-3)(y-7)

x-3= 0

x= 0+3

x= 3

y-7= 0

y= 0+7

y= 7

Hence the length is 3 and the width is 7

How can you determine if you need to use a combination or permutation to count the number of outcomes? Which will usually have m
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}
