Solve the equation 4x^2-4x-1=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  x = (1 ±√2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can "complete the square" to solve this.

  4x^2 -4x = 1 . . . . add 1

  x^2 -x = 1/4 . . . . .divide by 4 to make x^2 coefficient = 1

  x^2 -x +1/4 = 2/4 . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient: (-1/2)^2 = 1/4

  (x -1/2)^2 = 2/4  . . . . write as a square

  x -1/2 = ±(√2)/2 . . . . . take the square root

  x = (1 ±√2)/2 ≈ {-0.2071, 1.2071}

Solve for x: -7x+2=-4x-7
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative.  4x + (-7x) = -3x.  Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7.  Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2.  Then you should get -3x = -9.  Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you do 2.50 times 30 and that is 75. Next you do 110 - 75 and that is equal to 35. Next you divide 35 by 2.50 and you get 14.

Set Question involving real and natural numbers
Allushta [10]

Only two real numbers satisfy x² = 23, so A is the set {-√23, √23}. B is the set of all non-negative real numbers. Then you can write the intersection in various ways, like

(i) A ∩ B = {√23} = {x ∈ R | x = √23} = {x ∈ R | x² = 23 and x > 0}

√23 is positive and so is already contained in B, so the union with A adds -√23 to the set B. Then

(ii) A U B = {-√23} U B = {x ∈ R | (x² = 23 and x < 0) or x ≥ 0}

A - B is the complement of B in A; that is, all elements of A not belonging to B. This means we remove √23 from A, so that

(iii) A - B = {-√23} = {x ∈ R | x² = 23 and x < 0}

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "for µ = R" - possibly µ is used to mean "universal set"? If so, then

(iv.a) Aᶜ = {x ∈ R | x² ≠ 23} and Bᶜ = {x ∈ R | x < 0}.

N is a subset of B, so

(iv.b) N - B = N = {1, 2, 3, ...}
