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)

First, by using the distance formula for just one side, we can find the length of all sides (a square has 4 equal sides.) Then, we can apply the area of a square formula, which is a^2.

Distance formula:

\sqrt{(x.2 - x.1)^{2} + (y.2 - y.1)^{2}}

√((-2 + 5)^2 + (-8 + 4)^2)

√((3)^2 + (4)^2)

√9 + 16

√25

5

The side lengths of the square are each equal to 5, and by applying the formula for area, we can find the area of the square.

5^2 = 25

<h3>The area is 25.</h3>

If A and B are two angles in standard position in Quadrant I, find cos( A + B) for the given function values.
Naddik [55]
You have to find the cos of angle A, so use the Pythagorean equation and trig laws to find the other side of the triangle created by angle A. 3^2 + x^2 = 5^2. x=4. This means cos(A) = 4/5). Make both cos (A) and cos (B) have equal denominators, and add. 148/185 + 60/185 = 208/185. This answer is correct, though it doesn’t appear to be any of the answers you wrote, so either those answers are wrong or you wrote something incorrectly in the problem.

1. Translate the variable expression into a word phrase: 4b – 2
nevsk [136]
1. 4b - 2 : the product of 4 and a number (b) decreased by 2

2. the sum of 15 and 4 times a number......15 + 4x

3. 8 fewer boys then girls...how many boys.......b = g - 8

4. It will be less then 1 because of the negative exponent....a negative exponent will mean the number is less then 1...I dont really know how else to explain it.

5. Doug is twice Anna's age...doug is 34 years old
   I dont know the 5 step plan...but I am putting what I do know

   d = doug's age
   a = anna's age
   
   d = 2a
   d = 34
   
   34 = 2a
   34/2 = a
   17 = a....so anna is 17

   check..
   d = 2a
   d = 2(17)
    d = 34 (correct)
