Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{4em}c = -14\end{minipage}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

A quadratic equation: x^{2} - 5x + c  = 0, with x =-2 is a solution.

<em><u>Solve for:</u></em>

Value of c

<em><u>Step 1: define the problem</u></em>

If x = -2 is a solution of equation f(x) = 0, then f(-2) = 0

<em><u>Step 2: Perform the calculation</u></em>

Substitute x = -2 into original quadratic equation, we have:

(-2)^{2} - 5(-2) + c = 0

Perform the square and multiplication:

4 + 10 + c = 0

Transfer all of numbers to the right side, except c:

(notice for the change in sign of numbers)

c = (-4) + (-10)

Perform the sum on the right side to get c:

c = -14

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x)= x^2-5x+c=0

P (-2)= (-2)^2-5 (-2)+c=0

= 4+10+c=0

=14+c=0

C=(-14)

Suppose you want to create a set of weights so that any object with an integer weight from 1 to 40 pounds can be balanced on a t
Archy [21]

Answer:

You need 4 weights, and the weights are 1; 3; 9 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the scale has two plates, we can place weights on either side and also the object so it can be balanced. </em>

This is a key part of the problem, it's not only on the other side of the scale, but on both sides.

Let's do the math now.

If i get two weights, 1 and 3. I can form this combinations.

Object of 1lb = 1

Object of 2lb + 1 weight = 3 weight.

Object of 3lb = 3 weight

Object of 4lb = 1 weight + 3 weight.

So what if i want to add the next weight and that weight to add me the maximum amount of objects. The weight would have to have a difference with the last object plus one. So if i grab 9. 9 minus 4 is 5. And that is a difference with the last object plus 1.

With a weight of 9, now i can add all the integers up to 13lb.

And the next step? Lets add one more. Keeping the last rule, the weight would have to have a difference with the last object plus one. So if i grab 27, 27 minus 13 is 14. And that is a difference witht the last object plus 1.

The sum of all the weights adds up to 40 pounds. And i can balance any integer in the middle.

The formula we are using is p – n = n + 1

Where p is the new weight. and n is the last object we weighted. And the sum of the weights goes up to the last object we can place on the scale, and in this case is 40.
