Step One
Begin by getting one side of the question equal to zero.
32x -4 = 4x^2 + 60 Add - 32x + 4 from both sides.
0 = 4x^2 + 60 - 32x + 4 Collect like terms.
0 = 4x^2 - 32x + 64
Step Two
For this question, you could divide both sides by 4. It just makes the steps later on easier.
0 = x^2 - 8x + 16
Step Three
Calculate the discriminate.
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
a = 1; b = -8; c = 16
b^2 - 4*a*c = (-8)^2 - 4*(1)(16) = 64 - 64 = 0
There is only 1 root. It is real and it is rational.
A <<<<< Answer
1) tan 41°= 30cm divide by y cm
y= 30 divide by tan-1 41°
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
