Answer:

n = 2 or n = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for n:

2 n^2 - n - 6 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2 - n/2 - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

n^2 - n/2 = 3

Add 1/16 to both sides:

n^2 - n/2 + 1/16 = 49/16

Write the left hand side as a square:

(n - 1/4)^2 = 49/16

Take the square root of both sides:

n - 1/4 = 7/4 or n - 1/4 = -7/4

Add 1/4 to both sides:

n = 2 or n - 1/4 = -7/4

Add 1/4 to both sides:

Answer: n = 2 or n = -3/2

3/4 = c/36<br><br><br> I need help with this fraction proble.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

c = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

given \frac{3}{4} = \frac{c}{36} ( cross- multiply )

4c = 3 × 36 = 108 ( divide both sides by 4 )

c = 27

note that \frac{27}{36} = \frac{3}{4} in simplest form

landon is standing in a hole that is 5.1 ft deep. He throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands
fredd [130]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The path of the rock is 
y = -0.005x² + 0.4x - 5.1

When x = 0, y = -5.1 ft, which is the location of the hole level.
The rock reaches ground level two times when x = x₁ and when x = x₂.

At ground level, y = 0. Therefore
-0.005x² + 0.4x - 5.1 = 0
Divide through by  -0.005.
x² - 82x + 1020 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = (82 +/- √(82² - 4*1020))/2
   = (82 +/- 51.4198)/2
x = 66.71 or x = 15.29

The smaller value of x is x₁ = 15.3 ft when the rock emerges out of the hole and reaches ground level.
The larger value of x is x₂ = 66.7 ft when the rock falls to the ground.
The rock lands 66.7 ft horizontally from Landon.

Answer:  66.7 ft

vagabundo [1.1K]

The amount of water that will fill the tank is 11100 cu.ft to the nearest hundredth.

<h3>What is a Cylindrical figure ?</h3>

A cylinder is a three dimensional figure with two identical circular faces at each end , and a curved surface.

It does not have an edges or vertices.

It is given in the question that

A cylinder with height 14 feet and radius 25 feet.

The volume of a cylinder.

V = π252(14)

The water than can be filled is equal to the volume of the cylinder

V = 11088 cu.ft

There  the amount of water that will fill the tank is 11100 cu.ft to the nearest hundredth.

Fiona has proved that a function, f(x), is an arithmetic sequence. How did she prove that? A. She showed that an explicit formul
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is correct

Being an arithmetic sequence there will be common difference between the consecutive terms

Option A is incorrect because it is not necessary that explicit formula is an arithmetic sequence we can create explicit formula for any sequence

Option B is incorrect because recursive formula can be created for any sequence for geometric series also.

Option C is incorrect because the sequence that has constant ratio is the geometric sequence not an arithmetic sequence.
