Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x-1) = 42 (Area)

By trial and error method let's take x = 7

We get

7(7-1) = 42

7 x 6 = 42

42 = 42

Therefore LHS = RHS

Therefore it's 7

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = - 6 , x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x² - x - 42 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( - 1)

The factors are - 7 and + 6, since

- 7 × + 6 = - 42 and - 7 + 6 = - 1, hence

x² - x - 42 = (x - 7)(x + 6) and so

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = -6

Solutions are x = - 6, x = 7

You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).

We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as

Answer:

y = - 2, y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y² + 3y + 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term (+ 3)

The factors are + 2 and + 1 , since

2 × 1 = 2 and 2 + 1 = 3 , then

(y + 2)(y + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for y

y + 2 = 0 ⇒ y = - 2

y + 1 = 0 ⇒ y = - 1

The distance a butterfly flies varies directly with it's time in the air. If a butterfly travels 264 ft in 0.5 min, how far will
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The butterfly travels 660 ft in 1.25 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the distance, d, a butterfly flies varies directly as the time,t in the air, then we can write the mathematical statement.

d\propto t

If we introduce the constant of proportionality, we obtain;

d=kt

According to the question, when d=264\:ft, t=0.5\:min.

We substitute these values to obtain;

264=0.5k

\Rightarrow k=\frac{264}{0.5}

\Rightarrow k=528

The direct variation equation now becomes

d=528t

When t=1.25\:min

d=528(1.25)

d=660

Therefore the butterfly will travel 660 ft in 1.25 min.
