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

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]2 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

Given: The coordinates of isosceles trapezoid JKLM are J(-b, c), K(b, c), L(a, 0), and M(-a, 0). Prove: The diagonals of an isos
In-s [12.5K]
We have to find the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL:
d ( KM ) = √ (( - a - b )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ (( a + b )² + c² )
d ( JL ) = √ ( ( a - ( - b ) )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ ( ( a + b )² + c² )
So the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL are congruent.
The lengths of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Points J and K are midpoints of the sides of triangle FGH. What is the value of y?

The answer 

the complement of the question is 

What is the value of y?

According to the image, HKJ and FGH are similar, we can apply the theorem of thales
since GK and GF are parallels, so 

HK / HF = HJ / HG = KJ / GF and as we see on the figure, HK = HF /2, this implies  2HK =HF

HK / 2HK =  KJ / GF  it is equivalent to   1/2 = 2y+5 / 5y +3 

likewise, equivalent to  5y +3  = 4y +10, 5y-4y = 10-3, and y = 7


so the answer is 7
