Solve equation: -3|d-5|=-6

Mathematics

1 answer:

gulaghasi [49]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

d = 7, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to isolate the absolute value

-3|d - 5| = -6

divide both sides by -3:

|d - 5| = 2

break into 2 equations:

d - 5 = 2, d - 5 = -2

solve both equations and collect solutions:

d = 5 + 2, d = 5 - 2

d = 7, 3

What are the x-intercepts of y=2x^2+6x-20?

NISA [10]

Answer:

the x-intercepts are -5 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=2x^2+6x-20$

x-intercept is when y is set equal to zero

So, y = 0

$0 = 2x^2+6x-20$

$2x^3+6x-20 = 0\\Taking \ 2 \ common\\2(x^2+3x-10) = 0\\Dividing \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\x^2+3x-10 = 0\\Using \ mid\ term \ break \ formula\\x^2+5x-2x-10 = 0\\x(x+5)-2(x+5)=0\\Taking \ (x+5) \ common\\(x+5)(x-2) = 0$

Either,

x+5 = 0 OR x-2 = 0

x = -5 OR x = 2

So, the x-intercepts are -5 and 2

If the length of a leg of a triangle is 39.2 and the area of the triangle is 63 what is the length of the other leg

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The length of the other leg is $3.21\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle

In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular

The area of a right triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(b)$

where

a and b are the legs of the triangle

In this problem we have

$a=39.2\ units$

$A=63\ units^{2}$

substitute the values

$63=\frac{1}{2}(39.2)(b)$

$126=(39.2)(b)$

$b=126/(39.2)=3.21\ units$
