The difference between the solution to the equation x² = a is 30.
x² = a
x = √a or x = -√a.

The difference between the solutions satisfies the condition
√a - (-√a) = 30
2√a = 30
√a = 15
a = 15² = 225

Check the answer.
When x = +√a,
x² = (√a)² = a   Correct
When x = -√a,
x² = (-√a)² = a  Correct

Answer:  a = 225, and the answer checks out to be correct.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The box to the left will have the equation p(x) = 5x² and the box to the right will have the equation n(x) = \frac{1}{5} x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of the x² decides how wide or narrow a quadratic graph is. If the coefficient is a fraction of 1, the smaller the fraction the wider the graph gets. If the coefficient is a number bigger than 1, the bigger the number, the narrower the graph gets.

PLEASE HELP ASAP PLZZ I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST In order to increase the circumference of a circle from 12pi cm to 18pi cm, by how
pshichka [43]

Answer:

This is because the diameter of the smaller circle is 12pi/pi which is 12, and the diameter of the bigger one is 18pi/pi which is 18. 12 + 6 = 18, so the diameter increases by 6.

Consider the following geometric series.
podryga [215]

Answer:

a) -8/9

b) The series is a convergent series

c) 1/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The series a+ar+ar²+ar³⋯ =∑ar^(n−1) is called a geometric series, and r is called the common ratio.

If −1<r<1, the geometric series is convergent and its sum is expressed as ∑ar^(n−1) = a/1-r

a is the first tern of the series.

a) Rewriting the series ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n given in the form ∑ar^(n−1) we have;

∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n

= ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9•(9)^n-1

= ∑1/9 • (-8/9)^(n−1)

From the series gotten, it can be seen in comparison that a = 1/9 and r = -8/9

The common ratio r = -8/9

b) Remember that for the series to be convergent, -1<r<1 i.e r must be less than 1 and since our common ratio which is -8/9 is less than 1, this implies that the series is convergent.

c) Since the sun of the series tends to infinity, we will use the formula for finding the sum to infinity of a geometric series.

S∞ = a/1-r

Given a = 1/9 and r = -8/9

S∞ = (1/9)/1-(-8/9)

S∞ = (1/9)/1+8/9

S∞ = (1/9)/17/9

S∞ = 1/9×9/17

S∞ = 1/17

The sum of the geometric series is 1/17
