7 0

Answer:

x = -1.5, -1, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you want to solve this>

Solve 2x ³ + x ² -7x - 6​ = 0

It looks like x = -1 is a solution so we try it:

2*(-1)^3 + (-1)^2 -7(-1) - 6

= -2 + 1 + 7 - 6

= -1 + 1 = 0

So x = -1 is one root.

So (x + 1) must be a factor of P(x)

Now we divide by x + 1:

x + 1)2x ³     + x ²   -7x -  6​( 2x^2 - x - 6  <--- quotient

       2x^3 + 2x^2

                  -x^2  - 7x

                  -x^2  -  x

                             -6x -  6

                             -6x -  6

                              ----------

2x^2 - x - 6 = 0

(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0

x = -1.5, 2.

If y varies inversely as X and Y equals 5 when x equals 3 find X when Y is 15​
omeli [17]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 3

k = yx = 5 × 3 = 15, thus

y = \frac{15}{x} ← equation of variation

When y = 15 then

15 = \frac{15}{x} ( multiply both sides by x )

15x = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 1

HELP ME ANSWER THIS QUESTION QUICKLY BEFORE KATIE REMOVES IT FOR SOME RANDOM REASON.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

\vec{BC}=2b - 4a

\vec{XY}=a+ b

\vec {CY}=a - 2b

Step-by-step explanation:

By the triangular law of vector addition:

\vec {CY}=\vec {CA}+ \vec{AY}

\vec {CY}=a - 2b

We have that;

\frac{YB}{AY} =  \frac{3}{1}

\implies YB = 3 AY \\  \vec {YB}  = 3  \vec {AY}

\vec {YB}  = 3 a

From triangle ABC,

\vec{BC}=\vec{BA}+\vec{AC} \\ \vec{BC}=2b - 4a

Again from triangle XYB

\vec{XY}=\vec{YB}+\vec{BX} \\

\vec{XY}=\vec{YB}+ \frac{1}{2} \vec{BC}

\vec{XY}=3a+ \frac{1}{2} (2b - 4a)

\vec{XY}=3a+ b - 2a \\ \vec{XY}=a+ b

A gardener is planting two types of trees:
lara [203]

It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height

Step-by-step explanation:

A gardener is planting two types of trees:

  • Type A is 3 feet tall and grows at a rate of 7 inches per year
  • Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 1 inches per year

We need to find in how many years it will take for these trees to be the

same height

Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height

The height of a tree = initial height + rate of grow × number of years

Type A:

∵ The initial height = 3 feet

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ The initial height = 3 × 12 = 36 inches

∵ The rate of grows = 7 inches per year

∵ The number of year = x

∴ h_{A} = 36 + (7) x

∴ h_{A} = 36 + 7 x

Type B:

∵ The initial height = 5 feet

∴ The initial height = 5 × 12 = 60 inches

∵ The rate of grows = 1 inches per year

∵ The number of year = x

∴ h_{B} = 60 + (1) x

∴ h_{B} = 60 + x

Equate h_{A} and h_{B}

∴ 36 + 7 x = 60 + x

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 36 + 6 x = 60

- Subtract 36 from both sides

∴ 6 x = 24

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 4

∴ The two trees will be in the same height in 4 years

It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height
