Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>
Jamal's score is 80
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Number of questions = 100
Let w be the number of wrong answers
Let r be the number of right answers
According to question,
r = 4w
r + w = 100
Solving both the equations we get:
4w + w = 100
5w = 100
w = 20
If w = 20 then r = 4 X 20 = 80
Therefore, Jamal's score is 80
Answer:
1386 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a cirlce = Pi x r^2 [ Pi is 22/7 as stated in question]
22/7 x 21^2 = 1386 sq. units
