Answers:

x = -8/5 or x = 8/5

Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092

========================================================

Explanation:

r = common ratio

first term = 4
second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2

The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2

We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16

Therefore, we have these two equations

5x = 4r
4r^2 = 16

Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.

-----------------

To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula

Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

We have

a = 4 = first term
r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
n = 10 = number of terms to sum up

So,

Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)

S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)

S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)

S10 = 4092

Chloe and tino have a combined age of 48. three years ago chloe was double the age tino is now. find tinos age

jeka94

As given Chole and Tinos age , the present age of Tino is equal to 15 years.

As given,

Let x and y be the present age of Chole and Tino. respectively.

Combined age = 48

Given condition,

x + y = 48 _______(1)

Three years ago

x - 3 = 2y

⇒x =2y +3 _______(2)

Substitute the value of x in (1),

2y+3 +y =48

⇒ 3y = 45

⇒ y = 15years

Therefore , as given Chole and Tinos age , the present age of Tino is equal to 15 years.

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation 3x^2+5x=-1

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Two real distinct solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Background of the Discriminant

The discriminant $b^2-4ac$ applies to quadratic equations when they are organised in standard form: $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

All quadratic equations can be solved with the quadratic formula: $x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}$ .

When $b^2-4ac$ is positive, it is possible to take its square root and end up with two real, distinct values of x.

When it is zero, we won't be taking the square root at all and we will end up with two real solutions that are equal, or just one solution.

When it is negative, it is impossible to take the square root and we will end up with two non-real solutions.

Solving the Problem

$3x^2+5x=-1$

We're given the above equation. It hasn't been organised completely in $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , but we can change that by adding 1 to both sides to make the right side equal to 0:

$3x^2+5x+1=0$

Now that we can identify the values of a, b and c, we can plug them into the discriminant:

$D=b^2-4ac\\D=(5)^2-4(3)(1)\\D=25-4(3)(1)\\D=25-12\\D=13$

Therefore, because the discriminant is positive, the equation has two real, distinct solutions.

I hope this helps!
