Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
Answer:
- (9.5, 6.5) and (-4.5, -7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the extended points be A' and B' and add the point M as midpoint of AB
<u>Coordinates of M are:</u>
- ((6 - 1)/2, (3-4)/2) = (2.5, -0.5)
Now point A is midpoint of A'M and point B is midpoint of MB'
<u>Finding the coordinates using midpoint formula:</u>
- A' = ((2*6 - 2.5),(2*3 - (-0.5)) = (9.5, 6.5)
- B' = ((2*(-1) - 2.5), (2*(-4) - (-0.5)) = (-4.5, -7.5)
Answer:
-35
