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}

Anna11 [10]
The maximum wingspan in millimeters would be 160.

The prefixes, Kilo, Hecto, Deca, Deci, Centi, and Milli all increase by powers of ten. An easy way to remember this is 

King  Kilo
Henry  Hecto 
Died  Deca
Drinking  Deci
Chocolate Centi
Milk   Milli 

Since Centi is greater than Milli by one space, you increase by ten, which means you move the decimal once to the right. 

Hope this helps! :)

What is the range of a cosine function?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The sine and cosine functions have a period of 2π radians and the tangent function has a period of π radians. Domain and range: From the graphs above we see that for both the sine and cosine functions the domain is all real numbers and the range is all reals from −1 to +1 inclusive.

What is the disturbited property of (-2.5)(3-8y)
Mars2501 [29]

<u><em>Answer: =-7.5+20y</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

a=-2.5, b=3, c=8y

-2.5*3-(-2.5)*8y

3(-2.5)-8(-2.5)y

simplify by equation.

3(-2.5)-8(-2.5)y=-7.5+20y

=-7.5+20y

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
