Answer:

x = √(28), or x = 5.292

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the square to the values inside of the parentheses. so it ends up looking like this

5(x^2 - 25) - 9 = 6

add 9 to both sides

so its 5(x^2 - 25) = 15

Then distribute the multiplication of 5 to the contents within the parentheses

so it would be 5x^2 - 125 = 15

add 125 to both sides

you get 5x^2 = 140

divide by 5 on both sides

you get x^2=28

then, take the square root of both sides to reverse the square

√(x^2)=√(28)

and in the end you get x=5.292

but √(28) will probably be fine if your teacher doesn't want u to solve for that kind of stuff.

If x^2 = 50, what is the value of x?

SIZIF [17.4K]

X^2 = 50

Square both sides

x= √50

x= (√25)(√2)

x = 5√2

Final answer: x = 5√2 and since x is to the power of 2 you can have x = + or - <span>x = 5√2</span>

Find the TWO integers whos product is -12 and whose sum is 1<br>

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

$\rm Numbers = 4 \ and \ -3.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The sum of two numbers is 1 .

The product of the nos . is 12 .

And we need to find out the numbers. So let us take ,

First number be x

Second number be 1-x .

According to first condition :-

$\rm\implies 1st \ number * 2nd \ number= -12\\\\\rm\implies x(1-x)=-12\\\\\rm\implies x - x^2=-12\\\\\rm\implies x^2-x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\\rm\implies (x-4)(x+3)=0\\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\red{\rm x = 4 , -3 }}$

Hence the numbers are 4 and -3

The amount of time it takes to cook a turkey increases with the weight of the turkey. it is recommended that you cook a 10-lb tu

nadezda [96]

Answer:
The weight of the turkey is related linearly to the time taken to cook it, however, they are not proportional to each other.

Explanation:
1- Direct proportional means that when the weight of the turkey increases, the time required to cook it increase with the same amount, and vice versa
2- Inverse proportional means that when the weight of the turkey increases, the time required to cook it decrease, and vice versa
2- No proportionality relation means that the two are not related to each other.

Now, for the given problem, we are given that:
i. 10lb turkey takes 3 hours to cook
ii. an additional 12 minutes is added for every extra 1lb of turkey

Therefore:
If we have 10lb turkey ......> time required = 3 hr
If we have 11lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min
If we have 12lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min + 12 min
If we have 13lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min + 12 min + 12 min
Noticing the pattern, we can find that:
time required to cook the turkey increases as the weight of the turkey increases but not at the same rate.
This means that when the weight of the turkey is doubled, the time increases, however, it is not doubled.
This means that the weight of the turkey is related linearly to the time taken to cook it, however, they are not proportional to each other.

Hope this helps :)
