Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:
Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2
The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.
Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69
Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.
Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947
Simplifying
x = 2.340121947
Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947
Simplifying
x = -0.940121947
Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
Answer:
g is decreasing for all x less than or equal to -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the function y = |x| looks like a "vee."
g(x) = |x + 1| - 7 moves that graph 1 unit to the <u>left</u><em> </em>(I know, it looks backwards!) and down 7 units. See attached image.
Function g(x) is decreasing for all 
.
Answer: 51 %
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 * 5 = 17.5
17.5 = x/100 * 34
17.5 = 34x/100
17.5 * 100 = 34x
1750 = 34x
x = 1750/34
x = 51.47
rounded to 51%
C
a ratio of 5 : 5 simplifies to 1 : 1, which basically means we require the midpoint of the line segment
using the midpoint formula
M = [
(0 + 20 ), (15 + 0)] = (10, 7.5 )
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
