Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 - 4 x = 5
Subtract 5 from both sides:
x^2 - 4 x - 5 = 0
x = (4 ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 (-5)))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(16 + 20))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(36))/2:
x = (4 + sqrt(36))/2 or x = (4 - sqrt(36))/2
sqrt(36) = sqrt(4×9) = sqrt(2^2×3^2) = 2×3 = 6:
x = (4 + 6)/2 or x = (4 - 6)/2
(4 + 6)/2 = 10/2 = 5:
x = 5 or x = (4 - 6)/2
(4 - 6)/2 = -2/2 = -1:
Answer: x = 5 or x = -1
Answer:
A: The rate of change is 10% per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is simply the change in value divided by the change in time. In this case, the change in value is $1080 - $720 = $360, and the change in time is 12 years. Therefore, the rate of change is $360 / 12 years = $30 per year.
Answer: Simon has a higher chance of winning
Step-by-step explanation: The possibility of Smith winning is 16/52 and the possibility of Simon pulling an even card is 20/52.
(20/52 is more than 16/52)
Answer:
238°
Step-by-step explanation:
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the pair of opposite angles add up to 180 degrees.
So, the angle "21x - 2" and the angle "38x + 5" add up to 180.
So, we can write an equation and solve for x first:
x = 3
Now, Arc FGH is DOUBLE of Angle A. Angle A is "38x + 5". We know x, so angle A is:
Angle A = 38x + 5 = 38(3) + 5 = 119
Thus, Arc FGH = 2 * 119 = 238°
The answer to the problem is B
