What is the smallest solution to the equation 2x^2+17=179

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]4 years ago
3 0
The goal is to put the equation in the simplest form to solve:
2x²+17=179

Subtract both sides by 17.
179-17= 162
2x²=162

Square root 162.
√162 = 12.7 (rounded)
2x=12.7

Divide both sides by 2.
12.7/2= 6.4 (rounded)
x=6.4

The variable x is 6.4, rounded to the nearest tenth for simple purposes.

Hope this was helpful.

White raven [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given the height is 11 feet

Base = 7 + 2 = 9 feet

Consider the ladder to be the hypotenuse

Applying Pythagoras Theorem,  

H^2   = P^2 + B^2

Substituting the values in the above formula,

H^2  = 112 + 92

H^2  = 121 + 81

H^2 = 210

H = sqrt(210)

H = 14.491

Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

What is the equation of this line in standard form
Yuri [45]

Line joining (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2)

Point point form for a line is

(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)

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

(7/2)(y+1)=3(x+3)

7(y+1)=6(x+3)

7 - 6(3) = 6x - 7y

6x - 7y = -11

Answer: second choice, 6x - 7y = -11
