Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

                                             5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

                                            -14x + 5 = 17

                                            -14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

                                           -14x = 12

                                            -14x/-14 = 12/-14

                                             x = -6/7

Let f(x)=x2+15x+56
Ivan

Answer:

-8, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+15x+56

0 =x^2+15x+56

What two numbers multiply together to make 56 and add together to 15

7*8 = 56

7+8=15

0 = (x+8) (x+7)

Then use the zero product property

x+8 =0     x+7 =0

x+8-8 =0-8        x+7-7 =0-7

x=-8                      x=-7

Find the solutions of the quadratic equation 14x^2+9x+10=014x
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B. x=-\frac{9}{28}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{479}}{28}i

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

14x^{2}+9x+10=0

so

a=14\\b=9\\c=10

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{9^{2}-4(14)(10)}} {2(14)}

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{-479}} {28}

Remember that

i=\sqrt{-1}

substitute

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{479}i} {28}  

x=-\frac{9}{28}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{479}}{28}i

Answer:

19 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pytahgorean theorm. A^2 + B ^2 = C^2

49 + 100 = 149

Square root the 149, which is ~12

That means the hypotenuse is twelve feet, and with the base of the pole being seven, the pole was originally 19 feet tall.
