Answer:

Part 1 is x + 3

Part 2 is B u2 + u - 2 + 0

Part 3 is (u + 2)(u - 1) = 0

Part 4 is x = -5 or x = -2

Answer:

The solutions of the original equation are x=-5 and x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

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

Let

u=(x+3)

Rewrite the equation

(u)^2+(u)-2=0

Complete  the square

u^2+u=2

u^2+u+1/4=2+1/4

u^2+u+1/4=9/4

rewrite as perfect squares

(u+1/2)^2=9/4

square root both sides

(u+1/2)=\pm\frac{3}{2}

u=(-1/2)\pm\frac{3}{2}

u=(-1/2)+\frac{3}{2}=1

u=(-1/2)-\frac{3}{2}=-2

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Alternative Method</em>

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

(u)^2+(u)-2=0

so

a=1\\b=1\\c=-2

substitute in the formula

u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4(1)(-2)}} {2(1)}

u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{9}} {2}

u=\frac{-1\pm3} {2}

u=\frac{-1+3} {2}=1

u=\frac{-1-3} {2}=-2

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Find the solutions of  the original equation</em>

For u=-2

-2=(x+3) ----> x=-2-3=-5

For u=1

1=(x+3) ----> x=1-3=-2

therefore

The solutions of the original equation are

x=-5 and x=-2

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 28 miles per hour relative to the water in going 45 miles upstream and then returning
Sveta_85 [38]
The speed of the current is 7 miles per
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let × represent speed of the current.
We have been given that a motorboat
maintained a constant speed of 11 miles per
hour relative to the water in going 18 miles
upstream and then returning.
The speed of motorboat while going
upstream would be 11
The speed of motorboat while going
downstream would be 11 + 2

The radius of a circle is 10 cm. What is the volume?
kobusy [5.1K]
The 3-dimensional shape of a circle is a sphere. In order to solve the volume (v) of a sphere from the radius or diameter of any circumscribed circle within is as follows:
v = 4/3 × pi × r^3, where pi roughly = 3.14
v = 4/3 × 3.14 × (10cm)^3
v = 1.33 × 3.14 × 1000cm^3
v = 4,188.56 cm^3 (cubic cm)
v = 4,189 cm^3 (rounded up)
