Answer:
x= -2 and (x+3)=0, x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
"The sum of a number" well we do not know what the number is right, so let's call the number x. So we know we have x and we are adding it to something because it says sum. What are we adding it to? "5 times its reciprocal". A reciprocal of a number is equal to 1/the number. So the reciprocal of x is just 1/x. But we want 5 times this so multiply by 5. So now we have x + 5(1/x). Now we need to set it equal to something to be able to solve it. The problem says the sum of a number and 5 times its reciprocal is -6, so x + 5(1/x) = -6. Now just use order of operations to solve for x. First multiply: x + 5/x =-6. Then the next stperfect is harder because we want to get x by itself but we have x + 5/x. A trick you can do here is multiply the whole equation by x. This cancels out the fraction for us: x(x + 5/x) = -6(x) becomes x^2 +5 = -6x. Now we have a quadratic equation, to solve this you have to Factor or use the quadratic formula. I'll try factoring: first we need all of the terms on one side: x^2 +5x +6 =0. Now we need factors of 6 that add or subtract to 5. There are a couple of options here we could use 6 and -1 or 2 and 3. 6 and -1 would not work because both signs in the equation are plus which means we need our factors to both be positive, also if you tried 6 and -1 and then foiled out the factors to check it, it would not work. So 2 and 3 have to be the factors so the equations equals (x+2)(x+3)=0. Now we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x: (x+2)=0, x= -2 and (x+3)=0, x= -3. Those are the two numbers that would work! Hope this helps!!
Area of the sector is 4.71 sq units
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Area of the sector = Area of the circle × (C/360) where C is the central angle.
Area of the sector = πr²(C/360) = 9π × 60/360
= 9 × 3.14 × 1/6
= 28.26/6 = 4.71 sq units
An angle of 200 degrees in an obtuse angle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(L+B)
Where L is the length and B is the breadth.
Answer: ∠B = 82°
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the measure of B, you have to find the measure of A.
m∠143° + m∠A = 180° because they are a linear pair
m∠A + 143 = 180
Subtract both sides by 143
m∠A = 37
Since you know the measure of angle A, you can find angle B
Angle A, B, and C should add up to 180° as triangles' angles sum up to 180°.
∠B + ∠A + ∠C = 180°
Substitute
∠B + 37 + 61 = 180
∠B + 98 = 180
Subtract 98 from both sides
∠B = 82°
