What are the solutions?8x^2-12x-23=-5​

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5

Divide both sides by 8:

x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8

Add 23/8 to both sides:

x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4

Add 9/16 to both sides:

x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4

Add 3/4 to both sides:

x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4

Add 3/4 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4

<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

84\ inches

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

36\ inches

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

\$10.5

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

 we know that

<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

\$4+\$7=\$11

\$11 > \$10------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> \$11-\$10=\$1

therefore

<u>the answer part 3) is</u>

She needs  \$1 more

Compare the graph of the function, g(x)=(1)/(x-1)-3(, with the graph of its parent function. ) Which of the following options be
mars1129 [50]

Answers:

right 1, down 3 (these two answers only)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two transformations going on. The first of which is the horizontal or x translation (aka shifting) where the 'x' turns into 'x-1'. This moves the xy axis 1 spot to the left, giving the illusion that the graph moves 1 unit to the right.

The "-3" at the end shifts the graph down 3 units. If g(x) = f(x) - 3, then g(x) is the output of f(x) but 3 less than that, which is why it shifts down 3 units.
