Solve for x in the equation.

labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution is $\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}$ . Fourth option

Explanation:

Solve for x:

$2x^2+3x-7=x^2+5x+39$

Move all the terms from the right to the left side of the equation, a zero in the right side:

$2x^2+3x-7-x^2-5x-39=0$

Join all like terms:

$x^2-2x-46=0$

The general form of the quadratic equation is:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by using the formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In our equation: a=1, b=-2, c=-46

Substituting into the formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-46)}}{2(1)}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+184}}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{188}}{2}$

Since 188=4*47

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4*47}}{2}$

Take the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{47}}{2}$

Divide by 2:

$\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}$

First option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Second option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Third option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Fourth option: Correct. The answer matches exactly this option

What is the simplified expression for 3 a squared + 9 a b + 5 minus 4 a squared minus 4 a b + 3? Negative a squared + 5 a b + 8

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to simplify the expressions, you have to collect like terms :

3a² + 9ab + 5 - 4a² - 4ab + 3

= (3a² - 4a²) + (9ab - 4ab) + (5 + 3)

= -a² + 5ab + 8

A central angle theta in a circle of radius 7 m is subtended by an arc of length 8 m. Find the measure of theta in degrees. (Rou

gogolik [260]

Answer: In degrees , The measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

In radians , the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for length of arc is given by :-

$l=\theta r$

, where $\theta$ = Central angle subtended by arc.

r= radius of the circle.

As per given , we have

Radius of circle : r=7 m

Length of arc : l= 8 m

Substitute these values in the above formula , we get

$8=\theta (7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

To convert it into degrees we multiply it with $\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

The measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\times\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$=(\dfrac{8\times180}{7\times3.14})^{\circ}=65.5141037307^{\circ}$

$\approx65.5^{\circ}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

$d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}$

and we found the distance PQ and QA

; $d_{PQ}=\sqrt{125}$ , $d_{QA}=12$

be the APQ triangle we must find <APQ through the cosine law (graph 2).
