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

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago

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

tangare [24]
There is a 1/2 chance that he will get at least one of the two features.

There are 3 x 4 = 12 possibilities. There are all 4 colors of each 3 sizes.

All 4 of the medium trucks have one of the features.

For the other 2 sizes, only the red truck will have one of the features.

There are 4 + 2 = 6 possibilities out of 12 for a chance of 6/12 or 1/2.

What two numbers multiply to negative 8 but add to negative 7
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Let "a" and "b" be the two numbers
So a*b=-8 and a+b=-7
Therefore S=-7 and P=-8
Using (x^2)-S+P=0 => (x^2)-(-7)+(-8)=0 => (x^2)+7-8=0
By factorizing we get (x+8)(x-1)=0
So a can be either -8 or 1 and b can be 1 or -8 
Meaning that the two numbers are -8 and 1.

A woodworker makes wooden checkerboards. her profit is a function of the price she charges. this graph shows her total profits,
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the profit is defined as the difference between the revenue and the cost.

So, having a profit y = 0 means that the woodworker did not win nor lose anything.

Then the zeros of the function, the values of x such that the graph intersects the x-axis, are the prices such that she does not win nor loss anything.

In the graph we can see that the zeros are at:

x = 15 (the first one)

x = 70 (the second one)

so the zeros are at x = 15 and x = 70, and these are the prices such that the profit is zero, so at these prices she does not make nor lose money.

The correct option is B.
