Answer:

AD= 15

AB=30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Point D bisect the line segment AB

Hence AD = DB

AD= 4x-1

BD=9x-21

Hence

4x-1=9x-21

adding 21 on both sides and subtracting 4x from both sides

4x-4x-1+21=9x-4x-21+21

-1+21=5x

5x=20

dividing both sides by x we get

x=4

Hence

AD = 4x-1

= 4(4)-1= 16-1=15

AD= 15

AB = 2 x AD

= 2 x 15

= 30

Answer:

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation $x^2+4=6x$ is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, the given Quadratic equation, $x^2+4=6x$

This can be written as , $x^2-6x+4=0$

We have to solve using quadratic formula,

For a given quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ we can find roots using,

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ...........(1)

Where, $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ is the discriminant.

Here, a = 1 , b = -6 , c = 4

Substitute in (1) , we get,

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

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot 1 \cdot (4)}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{20}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x={3\pm \sqrt{5}}$

$\Rightarrow x_1={3+\sqrt{5}}$ and $\Rightarrow x_2={3-\sqrt{5}}$

We know $\sqrt{5}=2.23607$ (approx)

Substitute, we get,

$\Rightarrow x_1={3+2.23607}$ (approx) and $\Rightarrow x_2={3-2.23607}$ (approx)

$\Rightarrow x_1={5.23607}$ (approx) and $\Rightarrow x_2=0.76393}$ (approx)

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation $x^2+4=6x$ is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Couple of ways to solve this. Here is one method
Convert all times to minutes and find the total number of minutes they spent on all 3 activities. Then convert to hours and minutes and subtract from the end time of 5;28 to get the start time of all activities which is also the start time of watching the movie (first activity)

So time spent:

Movie: 2 hours 18 minutes = 2 * 60 + 18 = 120 + 18 = 138 minutes
Card game: 34 minutes
Soccer: 1 hour 12 minutes = 1 * 60 + 12 = 72 minutes

Total time spent = 138 + 34 + 72 = 244 minutes = 4 hours and 04 minutes

Subtract 4:04 from 5:28 to get 1:24pm

Check
Movie watch starts at 4:04, ends at 1:24 + 2:18 or 3:42pm
Card game starts at 3:42pm ends at 3:42+0:34 ==> 4:16pm
Soccer starts at 4:16pm ends at 4:16pm + 1:12 ==> 5;28pm
