Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x2 + 2x = 17

1 answer:

7 0

--------------------------------------------------------
Equation Given
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add the constant to make it perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (2/2)² - ²(2/2)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the brackets
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (1)² - ²(1)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² - 1 = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add 1 to both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² = 17 + 1
(x + 1)² = 18

--------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
√(x + 1)² = $\pm$ √18

--------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x
--------------------------------------------------------
x = 4.24 - 1 or - 4.24 -1

x = 3.24 or - 5.24 (nearest hundredth)

--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = x = 3.24 or - 5.24

The base of a pentagonal prism is regular with an apothem of 4 cm. The height of the prism is 16 cm. Find the volume of the pris

Georgia [21]

Answer:

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prism which is a pentagon is regular. The apothem which is a line drawn from the center to any side of the pentagon is 4 cm. The height of the prism is 16 cm.

The volume of a prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height of the prism

The base of the prism can be divided into 5 congruent triangles.But the base of the triangles is unknown.

The sum of interior angle of a pentagon is 540°. That means each angle is 108° . The triangle divide the angle into 2. Making the 2 base angle as 54° each. The last angle of the triangle at the center is 72°(remember sum of angle in a triangle is 180° which is 54° + 54° + 72° = 180°) .

The angle form the center can be divided by the line of height of the triangles. The angle will then be 36°. Using tangential ratio half of the length of the base of the triangle can be known. Therefore,

tan 36° = opposite/adjacent

tan 36° = opposite/4

opposite = 4 tan 36°

The full base of the triangles = 2(4 tan 36°)

area of each triangle = 1/2 × 2(4 tan 36°) × 4 = 16 tan 36°

Base area of the prism(pentagon) = 5 × 16 tan 36° = 80 tan 36°

Volume of the prism = Bh

where

h = 16 cm

B = 80 tan 36°

volume = 80 tan 36° × 16 = 1280 tan 36° = 1280 × 0.726542528

volume = 929.974435847 cm³

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

you have a full cylindrical glass of water that stands 8 inches tall and has a radius of 1.5 inches .if you pour the water into

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Volume of cylinder=πr²h volume of another cylinder=πr²h
=22/7×1.5×1.5×8 =22/7×2.5×2.5×12
=396/7 =1560/7
=56.57 =235.71

=235.71-56.57
=179.14 amount of water is able to hold by the larger cylinder
