Using the quadratic formula to solve x2 + 20 = 2x, what are

What is the sum of all values of m that satisfy 2m (squared) -16m+8=0?

vodomira [7]

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So for this, we will be completing the square to solve for m. Firstly, subtract 8 on both sides:

$2m^2-16m=-8$

Next, divide both sides by 2:

$m^2-8m=-4$

Next, we want to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this perfect square, divide the m coefficient by 2, then square the quotient. In this case:

-8 ÷ 2 = -4, (-4)² = 16

Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

$m^2-8m+16=12$

Next, factor the left side:

$(m-4)^2=12$

Next, square root both sides of the equation:

$m-4=\pm \sqrt{12}$

Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

$m=4\pm \sqrt{12}$

Now, while this is your answer, you can further simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals:

Product rule of radicals: √ab = √a × √b

√12 = √4 × √3 = 2√3.

$m=4\pm 2\sqrt{3}$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In exact form, your answer is $m=4\pm \sqrt{12}\ \textsf{OR}\ m=4\pm 2\sqrt{3}$

In approximate form, your answers are (rounded to the hundreths) $m=7.46, 0.54$

A rectangular swimming pool measures 40 ft by 60 ft and is surrounded by a path of uniform width around the four edges. The peri

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets x = the width of the path the surrounding path will add 2x to the pool dimension,therefore over all dimesion: (2x+40) by (2x+60) the overall perimeter (2x + 40) + 2(2x+60) = 248 Simplify divide by 2, result (2x+40) +(2x+60) = 124

 Combine like terms 2x + 2x +40 +60 =124 

4x + 100 = 124 

4x=124 = 100

4x=24

x=24/4

x= 6ft is the width of the path

check this by finding the perimeter with these values; 2x = 12 ft 

2 ( 12 + 40 ) + 2( 12 +60 ) 

2( 52 + 2(72)

104 + 144 = 248; confirms our solution of x= 6 ft

Hello, I gotta turn it turn in this question today, help!!!!!!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2
