Answer:

The actual distance between the historical markers is 18 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On a map, the distance between two historical markers is 4.5 inches, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles.

To find : What is the actual distance between the historical markers?

Solution :

We have given that,

2.5 inches represents 10 miles.

i.e, 1 inch represent $\frac{10}{2.5}$ miles.

1 inch = 4 miles.

Now, The distance between two historical markers is 4.5 inches.

The actual distance between the historical markers in 4.5 inch is

$4.5 \text{ inch}=4.5\times 4\text{ miles}$

$4.5 \text{ inch}=18\text{ miles}$

Therefore, The actual distance between the historical markers is 18 miles.

2.5 inches represents 10 miles.
Then 1 inch represents:
10 : 2.5 = 4 miles.
4.5 x 4 = 18 miles
Answer: The actual distance between the historical markers is 18 miles.

The graph 4x^2-4x-1 is shown. Use the grpah to find the estimates for the solutions of 4x^2-4x-1=0 and 4x^2 - 4x-1=2

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

a) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.25$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.25$ .

b) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.5$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial $y = 4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1$ , where $x$ is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas $y$ is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:

a) $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$

There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:

$x_{1}\approx -0.25$ , $x_{2} \approx 1.25$

b) $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$

There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:

$x_{1}\approx -0.5$ , $x_{2} \approx 1.5$

ABC ~ ADE AC = 4, AE = 7, AD = 10, what is the length of AB? 1 3/7 2 1/2 5 5/7 17 1/2

Butoxors [25]

If the polygon or the figures are similar then it is known that the ratios of their corresponding sides and angles are proportional. In this item we can derive an equation that is,

AC/AE = AD/AB

Substituting the known values,

4/7 = 10/AB

AB from the equation is equal to 70/4 or equal to 17 ½.

Solving quadratic equation using the completing method. (a).x^2+6x+1=0

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$x = -3 + 2\sqrt2 \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 1 = 0

a = 1 , b = 6 , c = 1

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2}\\\\x= \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-6 +4\sqrt2 }{2}\\\\x = -3 + 2\sqrt2 \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2$
