The following steps of solving for the roots of 2x² - 4x -3 = 0 were retrieved from another source Step 1 2x² - 4x = 3 Step 2 2(x² - 2x) = 3 Step 3 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 3 + 1 Step 4 2(x - 1)² = 4 From this, we can see that on Step 3, Tran made a mistake of adding 1 to 3. As we can see, 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 2x² - 4x + 2. That means, instead of adding 1, it should have been 2. Therefore, the step that Tran first made an error is Step 3<span>.</span>

Is 7, 20, 25 a right triangle?
love history [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

To answer if they are right triangles or not use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the legs.

a)    25² = 20² + 7²

      625 = 400 + 49

     625 ≠ 449              It is not a right triangle

b)   26² = 24² + 10²

      676 = 576 + 100

      676 = 676               it is a right triangle

c)   13² = 8² + (√10)²

     169 = 64 + 10

      169 ≠ 74                 it is not a right triangle

d)   52² = 48² + 20²

      2704 = 2304 + 400

      2704 = 2704               it is a right triangle

x = c1 cos(t) + c2 sin(t) is a two-parameter family of solutions of the second-order DE x'' + x = 0. Find a solution of the seco
igomit [66]

Answer:

x=-cos(t)+2sin(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is very simple, since they give us the solution from the start. However I will show you how they came to that solution:

A differential equation of the form:

a_n y^n +a_n_-_1y^{n-1}+...+a_1y'+a_oy=0

Will have a characteristic equation of the form:

a_n r^n +a_n_-_1r^{n-1}+...+a_1r+a_o=0

Where solutions r_1,r_2...,r_n are the roots from which the general solution can be found.

For real roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{r_1t} +c_2e^{r_2t}

For real repeated roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{rt} +c_2te^{rt}

For complex roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{\lambda t} cos(\mu t)+c_2e^{\lambda t} sin(\mu t)

Where:

r_1_,_2=\lambda \pm \mu i

Let's find the solution for x''+x=0 using the previous information:

The characteristic equation is:

r^{2} +1=0

So, the roots are given by:

r_1_,_2=0\pm \sqrt{-1} =\pm i

Therefore, the solution is:

x(t)=c_1cos(t)+c_2sin(t)

As you can see, is the same solution provided by the problem.

Moving on, let's find the derivative of x(t) in order to find the constants c_1 and c_2:

x'(t)=-c_1sin(t)+c_2cos(t)

Evaluating the initial conditions:

x(0)=-1\\\\-1=c_1cos(0)+c_2sin(0)\\\\-1=c_1

And

x'(0)=2\\\\2=-c_1sin(0)+c_2cos(0)\\\\2=c_2

Now we have found the value of the constants, the solution of the second-order IVP is:

x=-cos(t)+2sin(t)

Luden [163]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x from 3x ( 2x )

2x+5=-3

Subtract 5 from -3 ( -8 )

2x=-8

Divide ( -4 )

x=-4
