Method\ 1^o\\Use\ a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2\\\\c^2+4c-4=0\ \ \ |add\ 8\ to\ both\ sides\\\\c^2+2c\cdot2+4=8\\\\c^2+2c\cdot2+2^2=8\\\\(c+2)^2=8\iff c+2=-\sqrt8\ or\ c+2=\sqrt8\\\\/\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2=2\sqrt2/\\\\c+2=-2\sqrt2\ or\ c+2=2\sqrt2\ \ \ |subtract\ 2\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{c=-2\sqrt2-2\ or\ c=2\sqrt2-2}

Method\ 2^o:\\change\ "c"\ to\ "x"\\\\x^2+4x-4=0\\a=1;\ b=4;\ c=-4\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to\Delta=4^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-4)=16+16=32 \ \textgreater \  0\\\\then\ x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16\cdot2}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt2=4\sqrt2\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-4-4\sqrt2}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-4-4\sqrt2}{2}=-2-2\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-4+4\sqrt2}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-4+4\sqrt2}{2}=-2+2\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{c=-2-2\sqrt2\ or\ c=-2+2\sqrt2}

Can someone help me please!!!
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

  1.048

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic form of the exponential model is ...

  y = a·b^x

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  100 = a·b^6

  184 = a·b^19

__

Dividing the second equation by the first gives ...

  184/100 = (a·b^19)/(a·b^6)

  1.84 = b^13 . . . . . simplify

  b = 1.84^(1/13) ≈ 1.048022 . . . . find the 13th root

The growth factor is about 1.048.

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x® and cos yº What relationship do the ratios of sin
Flauer [41]

Answer:

sin(x) and cos(y) are equal and have ratio of 1 : 1

First find the missing hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem:

a² + b² = c²

12² + 5² = c²

c = √144+25

c = 13

using sine rule:

sin(x) = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

sin(x) = \dfrac{5}{13}

using cosine rule:

cos(y) = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos(y) = \dfrac{5}{13}

Zepler [3.9K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • C = (5/9)(F -32)
  • 50°F ⇒ 10°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the formula for degrees Fahrenheit, we can solve for degrees Celsius.

  F = 32 +9/5C

  F -32 = (9/5)C . . . . . subtract 32

  (5/9)(F -32) = C . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of C

The formula for Celsius temperature from Fahrenheit temperature is ...

  C = (5/9)(F -32)

__

For F = 50, the corresponding Celsius temperature is ...

  C = (5/9)(50 -32) = (5/9)(18) = 10 . . . degrees Celsius
