How to solve 3p^2=-2p+4

Mathematics
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3p2 + -2p = 4

Reorder the terms:

-2p + 3p2 = 4

Solving

-2p + 3p2 = 4

Solving for variable 'p'.

Reorder the terms:

-4 + -2p + 3p2 = 4 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

-4 + -2p + 3p2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by

3 the coefficient of the squared term:

Divide each side by '3'.

-1.333333333 + -0.6666666667p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.333333333' to each side of the equation.

-1.333333333 + -0.6666666667p + 1.333333333 + p2 = 0 + 1.333333333

Reorder the terms:

-1.333333333 + 1.333333333 + -0.6666666667p + p2 = 0 + 1.333333333

Combine like terms: -1.333333333 + 1.333333333 = 0.000000000

0.000000000 + -0.6666666667p + p2 = 0 + 1.333333333

-0.6666666667p + p2 = 0 + 1.333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.333333333 = 1.333333333

-0.6666666667p + p2 = 1.333333333

The p term is -0.6666666667p.  Take half its coefficient (-0.3333333334).

Square it (0.1111111112) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.1111111112' to each side of the equation.

-0.6666666667p + 0.1111111112 + p2 = 1.333333333 + 0.1111111112

Reorder the terms:

0.1111111112 + -0.6666666667p + p2 = 1.333333333 + 0.1111111112

Combine like terms: 1.333333333 + 0.1111111112 = 1.4444444442

0.1111111112 + -0.6666666667p + p2 = 1.4444444442

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(p + -0.3333333334)(p + -0.3333333334) = 1.4444444442

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.201850425

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting

(p + -0.3333333334) equal to 1.201850425 and -1.201850425.

Subproblem 1

p + -0.3333333334 = 1.201850425

Simplifying

p + -0.3333333334 = 1.201850425

Reorder the terms:

-0.3333333334 + p = 1.201850425

Solving

-0.3333333334 + p = 1.201850425

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.3333333334' to each side of the equation.

-0.3333333334 + 0.3333333334 + p = 1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

Combine like terms: -0.3333333334 + 0.3333333334 = 0.0000000000

0.0000000000 + p = 1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

p = 1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

Combine like terms: 1.201850425 + 0.3333333334 = 1.5351837584

p = 1.5351837584

Simplifying

p = 1.5351837584

Subproblem 2

p + -0.3333333334 = -1.201850425

Simplifying

p + -0.3333333334 = -1.201850425

Reorder the terms:

-0.3333333334 + p = -1.201850425

Solving

-0.3333333334 + p = -1.201850425

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.3333333334' to each side of the equation.

-0.3333333334 + 0.3333333334 + p = -1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

Combine like terms: -0.3333333334 + 0.3333333334 = 0.0000000000

0.0000000000 + p = -1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

p = -1.201850425 + 0.3333333334

Combine like terms: -1.201850425 + 0.3333333334 = -0.8685170916

p = -0.8685170916

Simplifying

p = -0.8685170916

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions

from the subproblems.

p = {1.5351837584, -0.8685170916}

Bill notes that his apple tree is 4/5 the size of his pear tree is apple tree is 4 M tall how tall is the pear tree
e-lub [12.9K]

1) Given that the apple tree is 4/5 pear tree we can write

Apple Tree size = 4/5 Peartree

Apple tree= 4m

2) So we can write the following expression for that:

\begin{gathered} Apple=\frac{4}{5}P \\ 4=\frac{4}{5}_{}P \\ 4P=20m \\ P=\frac{20}{4} \\ P=5 \\  \\  \end{gathered}

So the Pear tree is 5 meters tall, and the apple tree is 4/5*5 = 4 m

A bicyclist started on his trip from city A to city B. In 1 hour and 36 minutes, a biker also left A and headed towards B, and h
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

20km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the two Cities=52km

If the biker's Speed=S

And the biker's travel time= t

Distance =Speed X Time

52= St....[1]

For the bicyclist

Speed =S-32

Time = t +1 hour and 36 minutes= (t+1.6 )hours

Distance =Speed X Time

52 =(S-32)(t+1.6)....[2]

Therefore: Combining equations 1 and 2.

St=(S-32)(t+1.6)=52

St=St+1.6S-32t-51.2

1.6S-32t=51.2

From equation 1, t=52/S

1.6S-32(52/S)=51.2

1.6S-(1664/S) =51.2

(1.6S²-1664)/S=51.2

Cross multiplying

1.6S²-1664=51.2S

1.6S²-51.2S-1664=0

Solving for S gives S=-20 or 52

S=52km/hr

Therefore the bicyclist speed, S-32=52-32=20km/hr

7) Area trapezoid = (B+b).H/2, but the Median is equal to (B+b)./ 2

84 =12 . H ==> H = 84/12 ==> H = 7


11) Area Equilateral triangle inscribe in a cercle with Radius R = 2√3

Area = (B.. Altitude) / 2. Calculate H, the altitude. The altitude in an equilateral triangle bisects the opposite side. Apply Pythagoras
(2√3)² = (√3)² + H² ==> 12 = 3 + H² ==> H² = 9 & H = 3
Hence Are = (2√3 x 3) /2 ==> 3√3 unit² or 5.2 unit²

12) Area of regular hexagone with perimeter =12

regular hexagone  is formed with 6 equilateral triangles with
each side =12/6 = 2 units
Let's calculate the area of 1 equilateral triangle. Follow the same logic as in problem 11 & you will find that Altitude = √3, Area =(2.√3)/2 =√3 =1.73 Unit³

13) a) Circumference of a circle : 2πR==> 2π(30) =60π = 188.4
b) Area of a circle =πR³ ==> π(30)² = 900π = 2,826 unit²
