Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 +x-5=0 give your answers to two decimal places

Mathematics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago

Especially if we're to present the answers to 2 decimal places, we'd gues that the roots of this polynomial are not "nice."

My suggestion is that we use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then write the associated factors.

In 3x^2 +x-5=0, a=3, b=1 and c= -5. Thus, the roots are

-1 plus or minus √(1^2 - 4(3)(-5) )

x = --------------------------------------------------

2(3)

or:

-1 plus or minus √61 -1 plus or minus 7.81

x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------

6 6

Then one root is 6.81/6, or approx. 1.14, and the other is

-8.81/6, or approx. -1.47.

The solution set is then {-1.47, 1.14}.

James has a bag 77 of nickels and dimes. The total value of coins is $6.60. How many dimes does James have?
tatuchka [14]

James has 55 dimes in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • James has in a bag 77 of nickels and dimes
  • The total value of coins is $6.60

We need to find how many dimes James has

Assume that the number of nickels is x and the number of

dimes is y in the bag

∵ There are x nickels in the bag

∵ There are y dimes in the bag

∵ There are 77 coins in the bag

∴ x + y = 77 ⇒ (1)

∵ 1 nickel = 5 cents

∴ The value of nickles in the bag = 5x cents

∵ 1 dime = 10 cents

∴ The value of dimes in the bag = 10y cents

∵ The total value of coins is $6.60

∵ 1 dollar = 100 cents

∴ $6.60 = 6.60 × 100 = 660 cents

∴ 5x + 10y = 660 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -770 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -5x = -110

- Divide both sides by -5

∴ x = 22

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ 22 + y = 77

- Subtract 22 from both sides

∴ y = 55

∴ The number of dimes is 55

James has 55 dimes in the bag

Here is a list of numbers: 13, 15, -6, 8, -16, 2, -12 ,3 ,-18 ,-18 state the median.
DiKsa [7]

The median of list of numbers is-2.

Given the list of numbers is 13,15,6,8,-16,2,-12,3,-18,-18.

The median is the median of a sorted list of numbers. To find the median of a sequence of numbers, the numbers must be sorted in order from lowest to highest or highest to lowest.

Firstly, we will arrange the number from ascending to descending, we get

-18,-18,-16,-12,-6,2,3,8,13,15.

Now, we will find the middle term of the sequence, we get

The middle terms are -6 and 2.

Further, we will find the median of it.

n=(-6+2)/2

n=-4/2

n=-2

Hence, the median of the list of numbers 13, 15, -6, 8, -16, 2, -12 ,3 ,-18 ,-18 is -2.

\large -\frac{2}{3}x+3=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}
german

Answer:

\boxed {x = 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of x:

-\frac{2}{3}x + 3 = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}

-Take \frac{2}{3}x and subtract it from -\frac{2}{3}x:

-\frac{2}{3}x + 3 -\frac{2}{3}x = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}

-\frac{4}{3}x + 3 = \frac{1}{3}

-Subtract both sides and convert 3 to a fraction:

-\frac{4}{3}x + 3 - 3 = \frac{1}{3} - 3

-\frac{4}{3}x  = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{9}{3}

Since both \frac{1}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, then you would subtract the numerator:

-\frac{4}{3}x  = \frac{1 - 9}{3}

-\frac{4}{3}x  = \frac{8}{3}

-Multiply both sides by -\frac{3}{4}, which is the reciprocal of -\frac{4}{3}:

x = \frac{8}{3} (-\frac{3}{4})

x = \frac{-8(-3)}{3 \times 4}

x = \frac{24}{12}

-Divide 24 by 12:

x = \frac{24}{12}

\boxed {x = 2}

So, therefore, the value of x is 2.
