Answer:

n = 5, n = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2n + 5 = l

n - 4 = w

A = l × w = 15

(2n + 5)(n-4) = 15

2n^2 - 8n + 5n - 20 = 15

2n^2 -3n - 35 = 0

(2n + 7)(n - 5) = 0

2n + 7 = 0      or       n - 5 = 0

n = -7/2          or       n = 5

HELP! Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-3, -4) and passes through the origin.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Option B. (x+3) ^2+(y+4)^2=25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the circle in standard form is equal to

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where

(h,k) is the center and r is the radius

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

Remember that the distance of the center and any point on the circle is equal to the radius of the circle

so

Find the distance between the points (-3,-4) and (0,0)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

substitute

r=\sqrt{(0+4)^{2}+(0+3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{25}

r=5\ units

step 2

Find the equation of the circle

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

the center is the point (-3,-4) and the radius is r=5 units

substitute

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=5^{2}

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=25

Mr. Pham wrote the equation below on the board.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation by using the various properties and PEMDAS.

First, we would want to subtract 18 on both sides, to even out the equation.

The result is -7x=-38.5

Now we can isolate the x by dividing both sides by -7.

-38/-7=5.5

Thus, x=5.5

Hope this helps!

X=a-2by^2<br><br> Make “y” as a subject
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Let’s assume a,b,x real. Then all we require of y is y2 is real, so y

can be real or purely imaginary, but not an arbitrary complex number.

The hard question in these is always, do we need ±

? Here the answer is yes. It’s basically asking is there one solution or two, and in this problem we have two.

Solve for y

: x=a−2by2
