Find all values of c such that

klemol [59]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

c/(c - 5) = 4/(c - 4)

By Cross-multiplying,

We have c(c - 4) = 4(c - 5).

=> c² - 4c = 4c - 20

=> c² - 8c + 20 = 0

Since the discriminant is negative,

there are no real solutions for c.

However, there exist complex solutions for c.

Using the Quadratic Formula,

c = [8 ± √(-16)]/2

=> c = 4 ± √(-4)

=> c = 4 ± 4i or c = 4(1 ± i).

Answer:

No real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

c/c−5=4/c−4

c*(c−4)=4*(c−5)

c^2−4c=4c−20

Step 2: Subtract 4c-20 from both sides.

c^2−4c−(4c−20)=4c−20−(4c−20)

c^2−8c+20=0

For this equation: a=1, b=-8, c=20

1c^2+−8c+20=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=-8, c=20.

c= −b±√b^2−4ac/2a

c= −(−8)±√(−8)2−4(1)(20)/2(1)

c= 8±√−16/2

Find the values of the variables. Show your work and explain your steps. The diagram is not to scale.
Travka [436]

Answer:

w=59 y=59 z=53 x=121 v=121

Step-by-step explanation:

inside a triangle the angles should add up to 180 so you can easily do 180-31 -90 to find w then with that you can find the rest and also w is equal to y cause theyre vertical angles

The two men measure the angle of elevation to the highest point on the rock to be 22.6°. They
IgorC [24]

Answer:

  • 15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached picture</em>

  • The height  = h
  • Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
  • Closer distance  = d

<u>Use tangent to solve</u>

  • tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
  • tan 38.3° = h/d          ⇒ h = d tan 38.3°           ⇒ h = 0.79d

<u>Compare the equations above and find the value of d:</u>

  • 0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
  • 0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
  • 0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
  • 0.37 d = 7.14
  • d = 7.14/0.37
  • d = 19.3 m

<u>Now find the value of h:</u>

  • h = 0.79d
  • h = 0.79*19.3
  • h = 15

Clayton says that 2 1/2 + 3 3/5 will be more than 5 but less than 6 since 2 + 3 is 5. Is Clayton’s reasoning correct? Prove him

He is wrong...

2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20

Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20

For for each quadratic function below use method of completing the Square or averaging the x-intercept to write the equation in
lions [1.4K]

We have the expressions:

f(x)=x^2+6x+15y=x^2-4x+9f(x)=x^2-8xy=x^2+7x-2

Now, with this we operate as follows:

a)

f(x)=x^2+6x+15=x^2+6x+9+15-9\Rightarrow(x+3)^2+6

Then, the axis is x = -3 and the vertex (-3, 6)

b)

y=x^2-4x+9=x^2-4x+4+9-4\Rightarrow(x-2)^2+5

Then, the vertex is (2, 5) and the axis is x = 2.

c)

f(x)=x^2-8x+4-4\Rightarrow(x-2)^2-4

Then, the vertex is (2, -4) andd the axis is x = 2.

d)

y=x^2+7x-2=x^2+7x+\frac{49}{4}-2-\frac{49}{4}\Rightarrow(x+\frac{7}{2})^2-\frac{57}{4}

Then, the vertex is (-7/2, -57/4) and the axis is -7/2.
