Answer:
x = 2 + √3 and
x = 2 - √3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0.
Here you have multiple choices of methods of solution:
quadratic formula, completing the square, graphing, and so on.
If we complete the square, then: x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0 becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 + 1 = 0, or
(x - 2)^2 = 3
Taking the square root of both sides, we get x - 2 = ±√3, so that the roots are:
x = 2 + √3 and
x = 2 - √3
Answer:
360 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
(this is a rectangular prism)
Volume = length * width * height
Volume = 5 * 6 * 12
Volume = 360 km^2
This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

Answer:
x = 4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume you want to solve for x so here we go.
You need to work backwards for this equation, and whatever you do to the LHS, you do to the RHS.
First, you need to remove the minus 3, which means that on both sides, you add 3. Adding three on the LHS makes the -3 disappear, and adding 3 on the RHS makes the 19 go to a 22.
Your equation is now 5x=22.
Since 5x means 5 × x, to get rid of it, you need to divide 5x by 5. Doing it to the LHS will make the five disappear, and doing it to the RHS will make it go to 22 ÷ 5 which equals 4.4
Therefore, x = 4.4
