a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b2 - 4ac = (-21)2 - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x2 - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6

What is the solution set of {x | x 5}?

german

Answer:

3. the numbers between -5 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let set A= $\{x| x>-5\}$ and set $B=\{x | x$ .

The solution set of A and B is the solution set of A∩B

The solution set of A is all the real number x which is greater than -5.

The solution set of B is all the real number x which is less than 5.

Therefore, the solution set of A∩B is all the real numbers between -5 and 5.

Hence, option (3) is correct.

Red and grey bricks were used to build a decorative wall. The number of red bricks and grey bricks was 5/2. There were 140 brick

ozzi

Answer:

100 red bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x

Gray bricks is equal to 2x

We have an equation

2x + 5x = 140

= 7x = 140

Divide through by 7 to get the value of x

X = 140/7

X = 20

Red bricks = 5(x)

= 5(20)

= 100

Gray bricks = 2(x)

= 2(20)

= 40

Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.

Given △QRS ~ △XYZ, what is the value of tan(Q)?

VladimirAG [237]

Since the triangles are similar the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

tan Q = opp/adj = RS/QS = YZ/XZ = 9/12 = 3/4
