Just do 8 1/3 divided by 5/9 or

25/3 / 5/9

25/3 * 9/5 = 5/1 * 3/1 = 15

So 15 tacos

* = times

/ = divided by

For what value of k is there one solution to the given quadratic equation (k+1)x²+4kx+2=0.

andriy [413]

Answer:

If $k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$ , there is only one solution to the given quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

The signal of $\bigtriangleup$ determines how many real roots an equation has:

$\bigtriangleup > 0$ : Two real and different solutions

$\bigtriangleup = 0$ : One real solution

$\bigtriangleup < 0$ : No real solutions

In this problem, we have the following second order polynomial:

$(k+1)x^{2} + 4kx + 2 = 0$ .

This means that $a = k+1; b = 4k; c = 2$

It has one solution if

$\bigtriangleup = 0$

$b^{2} - 4ac = 0$

$16k^{2} -8(k+1) = 0$

$16k^{2} - 8k - 8 = 0$

We can simplify by 8

$2k^{2} - k - 1 = 0$

The solution is:

$k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$

So, if $k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$ , there is only one solution to the given quadratic equation.

What are the answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the secants is the same when set up as full length to external length.

Formula

MN/LN = QN/PN

Givens

LN = 22 + 14 = 36

MN = 14

PN = 32

QN = x

Solution

14/36 = x / (32) Multiply both sides by 32

14*32 / 36 = x Combine 14 and 32

448/36 = x Divide by 36 and switch

x = 12.4

Answers

PN (External) = 13 is the closest answer

Length LN = 36
