Solve the equation x2 – 10x – 8= 0 to the nearest tenth.

Mathematics
1 answer:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -0.8 and 10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation x2 – 10x – 8= 0

Using the general formula

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

x = -(-10)±√(-10)²-4(1)(-8)/2(1)

x = 10±√100+32/2

x =10±√132/2

x = 10±11.489/2

x = 10-11.489/2 and 10+11.489/2

x = -1.489/2 and 21.489/2

x = -0.8 and 10.8

A store pays $10 for a blanket, and the markup is 115%. A customer will also pay a 5 1/2% sales tax. What will be the total cost
Naddik [55]
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
     $10 x 1.15 = $15.20

Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
     $15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
     $15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03

The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03

Find a power series representation for the function. (Give your power series representation centered at x = 0.) f(x) = x/6x^2 +
timama [110]

Looks like your function is

f(x)=\dfrac x{6x^2+1}

Rewrite it as

f(x)=\dfrac x{1-(-6x^2)}

Recall that for |x|, we have

\dfrac1{1-x}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n

If we replace x with -6x^2, we get

f(x)=\displaystyle x\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac(-6x^2)^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-6)^n x^{2n+1}

By the ratio test, the series converges if

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(-6)^{n+1} x^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-6)^n x^{2n+1}}\right|=6|x^2|\lim_{n\to\infty}1=6|x|^2

Solving for x gives the interval of convergence,

|x|^2

We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints; we'd find that the resulting series diverge.
