Answer:

8 red haired and 42 brown haired

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose a random number to start off with (which is 8) and I multiplied it by 5.

8•5=40 and then you have to add 2, so you get 42.

42+8 = 50

The equation would be (5x+2)+x where 'x' is the number of people with red hair.

When x=8 and y=20 find y when x=42

ella [17]

When x=42 that means it is 8x6 so that means that the y = 120 becuase its 20x6
answer= y=120

Artists such as Al Held, Bridget Riley etc are known for their abstract artwork or geometric artwork. Riley is famous for her optical artwork.

This art form is present among many cultures throughout the history both as decorative motifs and as art pieces themselves. Like in Islamic art, this art depicts religious figures. The optical art gives the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns. Basically it gives a disorienting effect.

Besides optical art, other abstract art forms are also famous. These imbibe a strong imagination and a sense of creativity in its viewers. This art form puts different colors, shapes, and textures together to create a finished piece that represents something in particular.

Yes, I appreciate this kind of art form because these forms are genuine and helps us understand the art patterns. Unlike the traditional form, these forms explore the relationships of forms/shapes and colors. Moreover, art always reflects culture. Therefore, abstract art is important because it is reflecting a culture that has been moving since last 2000 years.

Answer:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 = 0

Bring -x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 together using the common denominator x^2:

(-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13)/x^2 = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2:

-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

x^4 - x^3 - 14 x^2 - 2 x + 13 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/4:

13 - 2 (y + 1/4) - 14 (y + 1/4)^2 - (y + 1/4)^3 + (y + 1/4)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (115 y^2)/8 - (73 y)/8 + 2973/256 = 0

Add (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) y^2 + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64)/(4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64 = 1/64 (512 λ^3 + 96 sqrt(2973) λ^2 + 3680 λ^2 + 460 sqrt(2973) λ + 11892 λ - 5329) = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)) or y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) - 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) or y = 1/8 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) where λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x - 1/4 = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x - 1/4 = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x - 1/4 = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x - 1/4 = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151
