Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2},  -  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not so fun!

4x^{2}  + 8x - 5 = 0\\

Step 1:  Move the 5 to the right side

4x^{2} +8x = 5

Step 2:  Divide thru by 4

x^{2} + 2x  = \frac{5}{4}

Step 3:  Divide 2 (from 2x)  by 2 and square the result and add that to both sides of the equation.

2/2 = 1    1 squared = 1

x^{2}  + 2x + 1 = \frac{5}{4} +1 = \frac{9}{4}

Step 4:  Factor the left side

(x + 1)^{2}  = \frac{9}{4}

Step 5:   Take the square root of both sides

x + 1 = ±\sqrt{\frac{9}{4} } =  ± \frac{3}{2}

Step 6:   Move the 1 to the right side and add the results

x = -1 ± \frac{3}{2} = -1 +  \frac{3}{2}   or -1 -  \frac{3}{2}

              = \frac{1}{2}    or   -  \frac{5}{2}

And bingo, you have the solutions by completing the square.  Lot of fun, huh.

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 9x^2=4?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

9 x^2 = 4

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides by 9:

x^2 = 4/9

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left-hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer:x = 2/3 or x = -2/3

An arc has a length of 123.53 millimeters and a radius of 28 millimeters. What is the measure of the angle of the sector in degr
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length in terms of degrees is

A.L.=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r and we have everything we need to fill in to find the angle measure.

123.53=\frac{\theta}{360}*56\pi which is the same as

123.53=\frac{56\pi \theta}{360} and

360(123.53)=56\pi \theta and

\frac{360(123.53)}{56\pi}=\theta so

θ = 253°

- A new rectangular lawn has a
disa [49]

The number of bags of grass seed that are needed to seed the new rectangular lawn is approximately 19 bags .

<h3>Perimeter of a rectangle</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the whole sides of the rectangle.

Therefore,

perimeter of the rectangle = 298 ft

The width is 67 ft.

Hence

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

where

  • l  = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

298 = 2 ( l + 67)

298 = 2l + 134

298 - 134 = 2l

164 = 2l

l = 164 / 2

l = 82 ft

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = 82 × 67 = 5494 ft²

285 ft² = 1 bag of grass seed

5494 ft² = ?

cross multiply

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 5494 / 285

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 19.2771929825
