Answer:  x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

                     ------------

                            2

Step-by-step explanation:

First write out the equation

x² - x - 20

Now we now write the equation by equating to 0

x² - x - 20 = 0

We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So

x² - x    =  20,

We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes

x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²

x² - ( ¹/₂ )²       = 20 + ¹/₄

( x - ¹/₂ )²       = 20  + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction

( x - ¹/₂ )²          =  ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4

Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have

x - ¹/₂               =  √⁸¹/₄

x - ¹/₂               =     √⁸¹/₂

Therefore,

                    x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

                          -----------

                               2

What is the value of y?<br><br> Please show work of how you solved! Thankyou
kap26 [50]
log_4(y+2)=3
raise each side to base 4
4^{log_4(y+2)}=4^3
simplify
(y+2)}=64   using the law of logarithms a^{log_ab}=b
=>
y=62

25ft+25ft+20ft+20ft+2.5ft+2.5ft+8ft+13ft
Anna71 [15]

we are given

25ft+25ft+20ft+20ft+2.5ft+2.5ft+8ft+13ft

Since, every value is in ft

so, we can take out ft

=(25+25+20+20+2.5+2.5+8+13)ft

now, we can add them

and we get

=116ft............Answer
