Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

according to what I learnt, the general form of every equation is y=mx+c where y is the y value, x is the x value, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept so the equation y-3= -1/2(x - 2) in the general form wil be :

y= -x/2+4 and so m= -x/2 ,that is -1/2

2.Solve the following quadratic equations i. 9x^2 - 1/16 ii. 2h^2 - 3h - 27

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}$

$ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\
\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}$

What is the answer to this question? 1.4a^2+4a-63

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ = $4^{2} - 4 * 4 * (-63) = 16 + 16 * 63 = 16 * (1 + 63) = 16 * 64$

VΔ = 4 * 8 = 32

a = (- 4 ± 32) * $\frac{1}{8}$

a' = 7/2

a''= 9/2

An amount of #550,000.00 was realised when a principal,x was saved 2% simple interest for 5 years. Find the value of x

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 250,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

550,000 = x (1 +2% x 60)

550,000/(1 +2% x 60) = 250,000

x = 250,000

Check your answer

A = 250,000 (1+2%x60)

A = 550,000
