Find the value of a2 + b when a = -2 and b = 5

REY [17]3 years ago

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're going to evaluate a² + b knowing that <em>a</em> = -2 and <em>b</em> = 5.

So the first thing we want to do is substitute these numbers into our problem.

Since <em>a</em> = -2, we will replace <em>a</em> with a -2 and as we do that, we will put that -2 in parentheses and square it since we have a². Squaring a number just means multiplying a number by itself so (-2)² is equal to 4 since a negative multiplied by a negative gives us a positive.

Now we will replace <em>b</em> with 5 and now we have the following.

4 + 5 simplifies to 9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides.

2x2+20x−10=10−10

2x2+20x−10=0

For this equation: a=2, b=20, c=-10

2x2+20x+−10=0

Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=20, c=-10.

x=

−b±√b2−4ac

2a

x=

−(20)±√(20)2−4(2)(−10)

2(2)

x=

−(20)±√(20)2−4(2)(−10)

2(2)

x=

−20±√480

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord.

6

BE × ED = AE × CE , that is

10 × 3x = 12(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 12

30x = 24x + 12 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

then

ED = 3X = 3(2) = 6

7

RJ × JP = SJ × JQ , that is

6 × 3x = 4(4x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 4

18x = 16x + 4 ( subtract 16x from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

then

RP = RJ + JP = 6 + 3x = 6 + 3(2) = 6 + 6 = 12
