So first, you get the absolute value to one side:

Next, set up two equations; One where the value inside the absolute value lines is positive, and another where it is negative, and solve both for the variable:

Your answers are
8 and -8, or +-8.
First lets distribute the 5x
5x^2 + 30x = -50
Lets divide every term by 5
x^2 + 6x = -10
To complete the square we have to half the b value, which in this case is 6. Then square it.
Half of 6 is 3, 3 squared is 9
Add that to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 6x + 9 = -1
Find the binomial squared
(x+3)^2 (If you're wondering how i got that please comment)
(x+3)^2 = -1
Take the square root of the equation of both sides
(x+3) = +/- i
x = -3 +/- i
x = -3 - i
and
x = -3 + i
Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We khow that the altitude of this triangle is 1cm shorter than the base
- Let H be our altitude and B our base and A the area of the triangle
- A= (B*H)/2 ⇒ 15=(B*H)/2
- H is 1cm shorter than B ⇒ B=H+1
- H*(H+1)/2=15 ⇒ H*(H+1)=30⇒ H²+H=30⇒H²+H-30+0
that's a quadratic equation . Let's calculate the dicriminant .
Let Δ be the dicriminant
- a=1
- b=1
- c= -30
- Δ=b²-4*a*c = 1²-4*1*(-30)=1+4*30=121≥0
- Δ≥0⇔ that we have two solutions x and y
- x= (-1-
)/2= (-1-11)/2= -6 - y= (-1+
)/2= 10/2 = 5
We have a negative value and a positive one
The altitude is a distance so it can't be negative
H= 5cm
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3 * 15 + 4 * 15 - 5 * 15
45 + 60 - 75
105 - 75
30
2. 3x + 4x - 5x
7x - 5x
2x
3. 3(x-2) + 4(x-2) - 5(x-2)
3x - 6 + 4x - 8 - 5x + 10
2x - 4
4. (I'm not typing that out)
7.5x + 19.5 + 10x + 26 - 12.5x - 32.5
5x+13
-hope it helps
