The difference of the square of a number and 4 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the negative solution.

The negative solution is x = –1.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

Square of a number = x²

3 times a number = 3x

Difference of square of a number and 4 = 3 times that number

\Rightarrow x^2-4=3x

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation, we get

\Rightarrow x^2-3x-4=0

–3x can be written as x – 4x.

\Rightarrow x^2+x-4x-4=0

\Rightarrow( x^2+x)+(-4x-4)=0

1st bracket have common term x and bracket have –4 common term.

\Rightarrow x( x+1)-4(x+1)=0

Take common term x + 1 outside.

(x+1)(x-4)=0

<em>By zero factor principle, if AB = 0 then A = 0 or B = 0.</em>

x + 1 = 0,   x – 4 = 0

x = –1,   x = 4

The negative solution is x = –1.

Given a right ?ABC, where AB = 4.5 cm, BC = 7.794 cm, and AC = 9 cm, sketch the triangle below, and find the measure m?C in degr
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The measure of angle C is 30\°

The draw in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

The sine of angle C is equal to divide the opposite side to angle C by the hypotenuse

sin(C)=\frac{AB}{AC}

substitute the values

sin(C)=\frac{4.5}{9}

C=arcsin(\frac{4.5}{9})=30\°

Jensen has an above ground pool in the shape of a regular octagon. Opposite sides are 25 feet apart and each side is 10.4 feet l
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<u>Given</u>: base = 10.4ft, height = 12.5

Area of octagon = 8(1/2 × b × h)

  • 8(1/2 × 10.4 × 12.5)
  • 520ft²

Volume of pool = 520ft² × 3ft

  • 1560ft³

Now, 1 cubic ft takes 7.5 gallons to fill.

Therefore, 1560 cubic ft takes,

  • 1560 × 7.5
  • 11700

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [D] 11,700.
