4x^2-x-3=0 Solve by completing the square. x= ?

1 answer:

6 0

4x^2-x-3=0
let us rewrite the equation in much simplified form:
x^2 - 0.25x - 0.75 = 0
x^2 - 0.25x = 0.75
x^2 - 1/4 x + 1/64 =3/4 + 1/64
(x-1/8)^2 = 49/64
x−1/8=±49/64

x1=−3/4
x2=1

How do you find the median on a dot plot

Andrei [34K]

On the dot plot you would find the numbers, put them in order lowest to highest and either you can take a pencil and mark them out or take your two index fingers and cross the out to see what is in the middle. If there is two numbers then you add them together and divide them then that is the median.

Determine if the segment lengths form a triangle. If so, would the triangle be acute, right, or obtuse? 4.1, 8.2, 12.2

goldfiish [28.3K]

Three line segments can form a triangle if the length of the longest segment is greater than the sum of the lengths of the shorter segments.

$4.1 + 8.2 \ \textgreater \ 12.2 \\
12.3 \ \textgreater \ 12.2 \\
true$
They can form a triangle.

Now if c is the length of the longest side and a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides, then:
- if $c^2=a^2+b^2$ , the triangle is right
- if $c^2\ \textless \ a^2+b^2$ , the triangle is acute
- if $c^2\ \textgreater \ a^2+b^2$ , the triangle is obtuse

$4.1^2+8.2^2=16.81+67.24=84.05 \\
12.2^2=148.84 \\ \\
148.84\ \textgreater \ 84.05$
The triangle is obtuse.

The answer is D.
