Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros. 3x^2=8x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • x1 = 2.7863
  • x2 = - 0.11963

Step-by-step explanation:

Transform the quadratic to

3x^2 - 8x  - 1 = 0

I don't see any obvious factors to this equation so we need to use the quadratic equation.

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

  • a = 3
  • b = -8
  • c = - 1

\text{x = }\dfrac{ 8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4*3*(-1) } }{2*3}

\text{x = }\dfrac{( 8) \pm \sqrt{64 +12 } }{6}

\text{x = }\dfrac{( 8) \pm \sqrt{76 } }{6}

x = (8 +/- 8.7178 ) / 6

x1 = (16.87178)/6 = 2.7863

x2= (8 -8.7178)/6 = -0.1196

FIND THE SUM OF 20 TERMS OF THE ARITHMETIC SERIES IN WHICH 3rd TERM IS 7 AND 7th TERM IS 2 MORE THAN THREE TIMES ITS 3rd TERM
algol13

Answer:

740

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic series is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 7 and a₇ = (3 × 7) + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23 , then

a₁ + 2d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 23 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

4d = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 4

Substitute d = 4 into (1)

a₁ + 2(4) = 7

a₁ + 8 = 7 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

a₁ = - 1

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , thus

S_{20} = \frac{20}{2} [ (2 × - 1) + (19 × 4) ]

     = 10(- 2 + 76) = 10 × 74 = 740

Find the average value of the function f(x)=−4sin(x) on the interval [π2,3π2] and determine a number c in this interval for whic
Ber [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average value theorem sets:

if f (x) is continuous in [a, b] and derivable in (a, b) there is a c Є (a, b) such that

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=f'(c) , where

f(a)=f(π/2)=-4*sin(π/2) = -4*1= -4

f(b)=(3π/2)=-4*sin(3π/2) = -4*-1 = 4

\frac{4-(-4)}{(3\pi/2)-(\pi/2)}=f'(c)

\frac{8}{\pi }=f'(c)

f'(x)=-4cos(x) ⇒

f'(c)=-4cos(c)=\frac{8}{\pi }\\c=acos(\frac{-2}{\pi })\\

c≅130

In triangle ABC, point D is the centroid, and BD = 6. Find BE.
pshichka [43]

Given:

In triangle ABC, point D is the centroid, and BD = 6.

To find:

The measure of side BE.

Solution:

We know that the centroid divides each median in 2:1.

In the given figure BE is a median and point D is the centroid. It means point D divides the segment BE in 2:1.

Let BD and DE are 2x and x respectively.

We have, BD = 6 units.

2x=6

x=\dfrac{6}{2}

x=3

Now,

BE=BD+DE

BE=6+x

BE=6+3

BE=9

Therefore, the measure of side BE is 9 units.
