Answer:

x = 5 ± $\sqrt{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10x + 25 = 17 ← left side is a perfect square, thus

(x - 5)² = 17 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 5 = ± $\sqrt{17}$ ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 5 ± $\sqrt{17}$

Thus

x = 5 - $\sqrt{17}$

x = 5 + $\sqrt{17}$

A table is 4 ft high. A model of the table is 6 in. high. What is the ratio of the height of the actual table to the height of t

Sliva [168]

Answer:

8:1

Step-by-step explanation:

the actual table's height in inches is 4*12 = 48 inches.

48/6 = 8

so the ratio is 8:1.

Estimate the quotient for 49 / 311

Makovka662 [10]

To get a close estimate, we can round 49 up to 50 and 311 down to 300, obtaining an estimate of 50/300 = 1/6, or 0.1666... as a repeating decimal. That decimal approximation is a little less than one hundredth away from the actual decimal approximation of ≈ 0.1576

The following integral requires a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using the method of par

shtirl [24]

Division yields

$\dfrac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x} = x-\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x^3+2x}$

Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants a, b, and c such that

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = \dfrac ax + \dfrac{bx+c}{x^2+2}$

$\implies 2x^2 - 7 = a(x^2+2) + (bx+c)x = (a+b)x^2+cx + 2a$

which gives a + b = 2, c = 0, and 2a = -7, so that a = -7/2 and b = 11/2. Then

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = -\dfrac7{2x} + \dfrac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}$

Now, in the integral we get

$\displaystyle\int\frac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x}\,\mathrm dx = \int\left(x+\frac7{2x} - \frac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}\right)\,\mathrm dx$

The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute y = x ² + 2 and dy = 2x dx to get

$\displaystyle \int x\,\mathrm dx + \frac72\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x - \frac{11}4 \int\frac{\mathrm dy}y \\\\ =\displaystyle \frac{x^2}2+\frac72\ln|x|-\frac{11}4\ln|y| + C \\\\ =\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{x^2}2 + \frac72\ln|x| - \frac{11}4 \ln(x^2+2) + C}$
