Mathematics

Answer: x = 6.32 or -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 6x + 10  = 0

No we divide the expression by 2 to make the coefficient of x² equals 1

We now have

x² - 3x + 5     = 0

Now we remove 5 to the other side of the equation

x² - 3x          = -5

we add to both side square of  half the coefficient of x which is 3

x² - 3x + ( ⁻³/₂)²  = -5 + (⁻³/₂)²

(x  -  ³/₂)²           = -5 + ⁹/₄

Resolve into fraction

(x  - ³/₂)²             = ⁻¹¹/4

Take the roots of the equation

 x - ³/₂               = √¹¹/₄

 x - ³/₂               = √11/₂

x                       = ³/₂ ± 3.32/₂

                         = 3+ 3.32 or 3 - 3.32

                         =  6.32 or - 0.32

What’s the answer?and how do you get it
Kay [80]

the solid is made up of 2 regular octagons, 8 sides, joined up by 8 rectangles, one on each side towards the other octagonal face.

from the figure, we can see that the apothem is 5 for the octagons, and since each side is 3 cm long, the perimeter of one octagon is 3*8 = 24.

the standing up sides are simply rectangles of 8x3.

if we can just get the area of all those ten figures, and sum them up, that'd be the area of the solid.

\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}ap~~ \begin{cases} a=apothem\\ p=perimeter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=5\\ p=24 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(5)(24)\implies \stackrel{\textit{just for one octagon}}{A=60} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{two octagon's area}}{2(60)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{eight rectangle's area}}{8(3\cdot 8)}\implies 120+192\implies 312

Heng was trying to factor 10 x 2 + 5 x 10x 2 +5x10, x, squared, plus, 5, x. She found that the greatest common factor of these t
Molodets [167]

Full question:

Heng was trying to factor 10x²+5x. She found that the greatest common factor of these terms was 5x and made an area model: What is the width of Heng's area model?

Answer:

The width of the area model is 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression: 10x² + 5x

Factor: 5x

Required

Width of the Area Model

To solve this, I'll assume the area model is Length * Width

Provided that we're to solve for the width of the model.

This implies that; Length = 5x

Area = Length * Width

And

Area = 10x² + 5x

Equate these two

Length * Width = 10x² + 5x

Factorize express on the right hand side

Length * Width = 5x(2x + 1)

Substitute 5x for Length

5x * Width = 5x(2x + 1)

Divide both sides by 5x

Width = 2x + 1

Hence, the width of the area model is 2x + 1

Find the probability of rolling two number cubes and getting a 2 on the first number cube and a 6 on the second?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 sides

Only one side of the cube has 2 on it

The probability of getting 2 would be 1/6

Only one side of the cube has 6 on it

The probability of getting 6 would be 1/6

For both events to happen together

1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
