We are asked in the problem to determine the value of x in the equation <span>4x² + 2x = 7 using completing the square method. in this case,
</span><span>4x² + 2x = 7
x2 + 0.5 = 1.75
(x + 0.25)^2 - 0.0625 = 1.75
</span>(x + 0.25)^2 = 1.8125
<span>x+0.25=1.3462
</span>x1 =1.0963
x2 =-1.5962
Answer:
.47
Step-by-step explanation:
1/10= .1
0.0.47/.1=.47
-1 x .47=0.47
Answer:
The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length
- B is the mid point of segment AC
- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length
∴ AB = BC
∵ AC = 5x - 9
∵ AB = 2x
- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length
∴ BC = 2x
∵ AC = AB + BC
- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC
∴ AC = 2x + 2x
∴ AC = 4x
∵ AC = 5x - 9
- Equate the two values of AC
∴ 5x - 9 = 4x
- Add 9 to both sides
∴ 5x = 4x + 9
- Subtract 4x from both sides
∴ x = 9
- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC
∵ AC = 4x
∵ x = 9
∴ AC = 4(9) = 36
* The measure of segment AC is 36 units
To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15
Now let's plug those in:

which simplifies to:

Simplified further:


And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2
So the zeros of this function are
-2 and
6
Answer:
x = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
15(1/2) = 7.5
7.5+6 =13.5
subtract 17 and divide by -1 to isolate x 13.5-17/-1
x = 3.5
