Sail with the equation by completing the square x^2+8x=-3

Mathematics

Answer:

The solutions are x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} +8x=-3

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} +8x+16=-3+16

x^{2} +8x+16=13

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+4)^{2}=13

square root both sides

x+4=(+/-)\sqrt{13}

x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}

How do i calculate? All the way to s_75. It’s so long
mina [271]

Answer:

  -675

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum can be broken into parts that you know. Here, one of those parts is the sum of numbers 1 to n. That sum is given by n(n+1)/2.

\displaystyle S_{75}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{75}{(67-2n)}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{75}{67}-2\sum\limits_{n=1}^{75}{n}\\\\=75\cdot 67-2\dfrac{75(75+1)}{2}=75(67-76)\\\\=\bf{-675}

__

Another way to do this is to realize the sequence of numbers is an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 65 and a last term of 67-2·75 = -83.

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is found by multiplying the number of terms by their average value. Their average value is the average of the first and last terms.

The average value of those 75 terms is (65 +(-83))/2 = -9, so their sum is ...

  75(-9) = -675

Jason has 4 gallons of hand sanitizer that contains 25% alcohol. He wants to make a hand sanitizer that contains 50% alcohol. Ho
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

2 gallons of pure alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of pure alcohol needed, and create an equation:

4(0.25) + x(1) = (x + 4)0.5

1 + x = 0.5x + 2

x = 0.5x + 1

0.5x = 1

x = 2

So, 2 gallons of pure alcohol should be added.

Compare and contrast perpendicular bisected and altitude
elena55 [62]
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.

The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.
