Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+3x-7=x^2+5x+39
Shalnov [3]
Hey there, hope I can help!

\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^2+5x+39\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}
2x^2+3x-7-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)=x^2+5x+39-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)

Assuming you know how to simplify this, I will not show the steps but can add them later on upon request
x^2-2x-46=0

Lets use the quadratic formula now
\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}
x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:} a=1,\:b=-2,\:c=-46: x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

\frac{-\left(-2\right)+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

Multiply the numbers 2 * 1 = 2
\frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}

2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2+1\cdot \:4\cdot \:46} \ \textgreater \  \left(-2\right)^2=2^2, 2^2 = 4

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:1\cdot \:46=184 \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{4+184} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \  2 + \sqrt{188}
\frac{2+\sqrt{188}}{2} \ \textgreater \  Prime\;factorize\;188 \ \textgreater \  2^2\cdot \:47 \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{2^2\cdot \:47}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{47}\sqrt{2^2}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{a^n}=a \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{2^2}=2 \ \textgreater \  2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2+2\sqrt{47}}{2}

Factor\;2+2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  Rewrite\;as\;1\cdot \:2+2\sqrt{47}
\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}2 \ \textgreater \  2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \  \frac{2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right)}{2}

\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1 \ \textgreater \  1+\sqrt{47}

Moving on, I will do the second part excluding the extra details that I had shown previously as from the first portion of the quadratic you can easily see what to do for the second part.

\frac{-\left(-2\right)-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

\frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}

2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \  2-\sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-\sqrt{188}}{2}

\sqrt{188} = 2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-2\sqrt{47}}{2}

2-2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \  \frac{2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right)}{2} \ \textgreater \  1-\sqrt{47}

Therefore our final solutions are
x=1+\sqrt{47},\:x=1-\sqrt{47}

Hope this helps!

-11=(x-3)÷2 what is the solution for x
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

          -19

Step-by-step explanation:

                     ~ Distribute:

               - 11 = 1 / 2 x + -3 / 2

                        ~ Flip the equation:

                  1 / 2 x + -3 / 2 = -11

                          ~ Use transposition method:

                     (take -3 / 2 to the other side)

                       1 / 2 x = -11 - (-3 / 2)

                                  = -19 / 2

                                x = -12 / 2 * 2

                                    = -19

Hope this helped

2. Use the following picture for this question:
Art [367]

Answer:

a.  24\sqrt{3}  and 41.6

b.  52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is \sqrt{3}

Thus, we can write Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth):  24\sqrt{3} =41.6

b.

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1

F(x) = (4x–5)/6 <br> Find the Inverse
noname [10]

Answer:

F^-1 (x) = 3x/2+5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, replace f(x) with y

Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

Solve the equation from Step 2 for y  

Replace y with f−1(x) f − 1 ( x )

Verify your work by checking that (f∘f−1)(x)=x ( f ∘ f − 1 ) ( x ) = x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x ( f − 1 ∘ f ) ( x ) = x are both true.

Hope this helps!  Stay Safe!
