NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

Standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = y

Steps to simplify:

2x^2 - 1 = 3x + 4

~Subtract (3x + 4) to both sides

2x^2 - 1 - 3x + 4 = 3x + 4 - 3x + 4

~Simplify

2x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0

(a = 2, b = -3, c = -5)

Now that we know what these values are, we can use the quadratic formula to solve.

x=\frac{-b-+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\x = \frac{-(-3)-+\sqrt{-3^2-4(2)(-5)} }{2(2)}\\x= \frac{-3-+\sqrt{49} }{4} \\x=\frac{3-+7}{4} \\x = \frac{10}{4}~or~\frac{-4}{4}  \\x=\frac{5}{2}~or~-1

Answer: x = 5/2 or x = -1

Best of Luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the quadratic equation, we have

ax^2+bx+c=0

Dividing the equation by a, we get

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0

Put \frac{c}{a} on the other side,

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x=\frac{-c}{a}

Add (\frac{b}{2a})^2 on both the sides,

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{-c}{a}+(\frac{b}{2a})^2

completing the square, we have

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{-c}{a}+(\frac{b}{2a})^2

Now, solving for x,

x+\frac{b}{2a}={\pm}\sqrt{\frac{-c}{a}+(\frac{b}{2a})^2}

x=\frac{-b}{2a}{\pm}\sqrt{\frac{-c}{a}+(\frac{b}{2a})^2}

Multiply right side by \frac{2a}{2a},

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

which is the required quadratic formula.

Find an equation of the sphere with center (4, −12, 8) and radius 10. use an equation to describe its intersection with each of
xxMikexx [17]
<span>Sphere: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Intersection in xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 Intersection in xz-plane: DNE Intersection in yz-plane: (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84 The desired equation is quite simple. Let's first create an equation for the sphere centered at the origin: x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 10^2 Now let's translate that sphere to the desired center (4, -12, 8). To do that, just subtract the center coordinate from the x, y, and z variables. So (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 10^2 (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Might as well deal with that double negative for y, so (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 And we have the desired equation. Now for dealing with the coordinate planes. Basically, for each coordinate plane, simply set the coordinate value to 0 for the axis that's not in the desired plane. So for the xy-plane, set the z value to 0 and simplify. So let's do that for each plane: xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (0 - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (-8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + 64 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 xz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (0 + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 12^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 144 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = -44 And since there's no possible way to ever get a sum of 2 squares to be equal to a negative number, the answer to this intersection is DNE. This shouldn't be a surprise since the center point is 12 units from this plane and the sphere has a radius of only 10 units. yz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (0 - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (-4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 16 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84</span>
