Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number  

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

a^2 - 3a = 28

a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28

\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

The product of two rational numbers is 2/5 , if one of them is -8/25, find the other.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

x=-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be  x and y

     x.y=2/5    (The product of two rational numbers is 2/5)

if  one of the number is  -8/25

x.(-8/25)=2/5

(Here Substituted the value of one of the number yoy may substitute the value -8/25 in place of x

x=(2/5) *(-25/8)    

x=-5/4

Is there enough information shown on the triangles to say that the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: (D) No. The corresponding pairs of sides must also be marked  congruent to determine that the triangles are congruent.

==================================================

Explanation:

The arc markings tell us how the angles pair up, and which pairs are congruent. Eg: The double-arc angles are the same measure.

Despite knowing that all three pairs of angles are congruent, we don't have enough information to conclude the triangles are congruent overall. We can say they are similar triangles (due to the AA similarity theorem), but we can't say they are congruent or not. We would need to know if at least one pair of sides were congruent, so that we could prove the triangles congruent.

The list of congruent theorems is

  • SSS
  • ASA
  • AAS (or SAA)
  • SAS
  • HL
  • LL

Much of these involve an "S", to indicate "side" (more specifically "pair of sides). Both HL and LL involve sides as well. They are special theorems dealing with right triangles only.

------------

So in short, we don't have enough info. We would have to know information about the sides. This is why choice D is the answer.

What is the answer 4+3x = -2y
lilavasa [31]
First add 2y to both sides
so 4 + 3x + 2y = 0
then subtract 4 from both sides
so 3x + 2y = -4
that is standard form
now subtract 3x from both sides
2y = 3x - 4
now divide by 2 on both sides
y = 1.5x - 2
This is solved for y and is slope intercept form
starting from original subtract 4 from both sides
so 3x = -2x -4
now divide by 3 on both sides
so x = -2/3x -4/3
this is solved for x
hope any of that is what you needed.
