Answer:

1+\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is defined as

ax^2+bx+c=0          .... (1)

then the quadratic formula is

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

0=-x^2+2x+1

It can we written as

-x^2+2x+1=0             .... (2)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

a=-1,b=2,c=1

Substitute these values in the quadratic formula.

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4(-1)(1)}}{2(-1)}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4+4}}{-2}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{8}}{-2}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{2}}{-2}

Taking out common factors.

x=\dfrac{-2(1\pm \sqrt{2})}{-2}

x=1\pm \sqrt{2}

Two roots are

x=1+\sqrt{2} and x=1-\sqrt{2}

We know that

\sqrt{2}=1.41

So

1

Therefore, root x=1+\sqrt{2} is positive and x=1-\sqrt{2} is negative.

2.5/6 = h/9 h=? What does this mean
omeli [17]

Answer:

h = 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2.5/6 = h/9

Step 2: Solve for <em>h</em>

  1. Cross multiply: 22.5 = 6h
  2. Divide both sides by 6: 3.75 = h
  3. Rewrite: h = 3.75

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in h to verify it's a solution.</em>

2.5/6 = 3.75/9

Whats an approximate equation of a line that passes through the points (-4.3,2.3) and (1.3,-7.4)
Wewaii [24]
Use the 2 points to find the gradient of the line
Gradient = (y - y1)/(x - x1), y and y1 are the two different y values.
(2.3 - - 7.4)/(-4.3 - 1.3) = -97/56 = -1.732
Note: y and x both come from the same coordinate, and y1 and x1 also come from the same coordinates - (x , y), (x1 , y1)

Use the following to find the equation (x, x1, y, and y1 are not the same as the first part)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where x2 and y2 is an intersection (one of the coordinates you used) and m is the gradient you found.
So...
y - 2.3 = -1.732(x - - 4.3)
You can simplify this if you are required to.
