Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 2.5 or -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x

Firstly, we divide through by 4

= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0

Now, we move the two term to the right hand side

x^2 -7/4x = 2

Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;

That would be;

(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64

we now add this value to both sides of the equation

x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64

The right hand side can be rewritten as;

(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64

taking the square root of both sides

x-7/8 = √(177/64)

x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)

x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)

= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017

Which to the nearest tenth is

x = 2.5 or -0.8

just olya [345]
The increase would be possibly about by 100,000 dollars, but if you were to take it as a decimal as a millionth, it would go up by 10 percent.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1) 6

2)4

3)27

4)126

5)15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to see how many 8-miles are in 24 miles, than multiple it with 2in.

(24/8)*2=3*2=6in

2. Fist we calcue how many 17-feets are in 68feets, and multiple that with 1in.

(68/17)*1=4

3. We first see how many 3ins are in 9ins, and than multiple that with 9feet

(9/3)*9=3*9=27

4. First see how many 2ins are in 36ins, and then multiple it with 7.

(36/2)*7=18*7=126feet

5. See how many 15fts are in 75ft And than multiple it with 3.

(75/15)*3=5*3=15
