Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets illustrate one method by an example:

Find the square root of  12:

The 2 perfect squares around 12 are 3^2 and 4^2 so the square root of 12 is going to be between 3 and 4.

We might predict it to be 3.5

If we square 3.5 we get 12.25 so we are pretty close.

It is less than 3.5 so we might try 3.4 .

Working 3.4^2 out we get  11.56  so we know the square root is between 3.4 and 3.5  Since 12.25 is closer to 12 than 11.56, the square root is closer to 3.5 than 3.4 so we might try 3.46.

This is called the method of trial and improvement and requires you to do long multiplications.

P is the point on the line 2x+y-10=0 such that the length of OP, the line segment from the origin O to P, is a minimum. Find the
nirvana33 [79]
The minimum distance is the perpendicular distance. So establish the distance from the origin to the line using the distance formula.
The distance here is: <span><span>d2</span>=(x−0<span>)^2</span>+(y−0<span>)^2
</span>                                      =<span>x^2</span>+<span>y^2
</span></span>
To minimize this function d^2 subject to the constraint, <span>2x+y−10=0
</span>If we substitute, the y-values the distance function can take will be related to the x-values by the line:<span>y=10−2x 
</span>You can substitute this in for y in the distance function and take the derivative:
<span>d=sqrt [<span><span><span>x2</span>+(10−2x<span>)^2]
</span></span></span></span>
d′=1/2 (5x2−40x+100)^(−1/2)   (10x−40)<span>
</span>Setting the derivative to zero to find optimal x,
<span><span>d′</span>=0→10x−40=0→x=4
</span>
This will be the x-value on the line such that the distance between the origin and line will be EITHER a maximum or minimum (technically, it should be checked afterward).
For x = 4, the corresponding y-value is found from the equation of the line (since we need the corresponding y-value on the line for this x-value).
 
Then y = 10 - 2(4) = 2.
 So the point, P, is (4,2).

What is the answer for 144=-12(x+5) must show work
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<h2>x = -17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-12(x+5)=144\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-12)}\\\\\dfrac{-12(x+5)}{-12}=\dfrac{144}{-12}\\\\x+5=-12\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\x+5-5=-12-5\\\\x=-17

Meredith solved a quadratic equation. Her work is shown below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Meredith made a fatal mistake or error in step 2;

Any quadratic problem will always have two solutions. Therefore since, we only have one solution here, it is wrong. The mistake was incurred in step 2;

  From the given problem ;

    <u> Wrong                                                  right</u>

    2(x + 4)² = 242

    (x + 4)² = 121     Step 1  

     x+4=11              Step 2                  x + 4  = ± 11

     x  = 7                Step 3                  x + 4  = 11 or x + 4  = -11

                                                           x  = 11- 4     or    x  = -11 - 4

                                                           x  = 7 or -15
