Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A quadratic equation,

2x(x + 1.5) = -1

We need to solve the quadratic equation. Firstly we need to simplify the above equation to form it as ax^2+bx+c=0.

So,

2x^2+3x=-1\\\\2x^2+3x+1=0

Here, a = 2, b = 3 and c = 1

The roots of the given equation can be given by :

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

Putting all the values we get :

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2+4ac} }{2a}, \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2+4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}, \dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3+1}{4}, \dfrac{-3-1}{4}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}, -1

So, the roots of the given equation is -1/2 and -1.

All sides of ABC are tangent to circle P.<br> What is the perimeter of the triangle below?
arlik [135]

I got an answer of 58.

Subtract 10 from the side length of 24 to get 14.

And use the side length of 5 to find another side length that also equals 5.

In total all your side lengths would be 10,5,5,24,14. And all of them together to arrive at an answer of 58.
