The sum of a whole number and twice the square of the number is 10. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
amid [387]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the number be x

=> x + 2x² = 10

=> 2x² + x - 10 = 0

Factorising the quadratic equation we get,

=> 2x² + 5x - 4x - 10 = 0

=> x ( 2x + 5 ) -2 ( 2x + 5 ) = 0

=> ( x - 2 ) ( 2x + 5 ) = 0

=> x = 2, -5/2

Since x is a whole number, -5 / 2 wont be applicable.

Hence x = 2.

Hence the number is 2.

Hope my answer helped !

There are 4,000 undergraduates registered at a certain college. Of them, 364 are taking one course, 496 are taking two courses,
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

X=1, P = 0.091

X=2, P = 0.124

X=3, P = 0.115

X=4, P = 0.378

X=5, P = 0.264

X=6, P = 0.028

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability distribution of X, first we have to define the sample space.

In this case X=1,2,3,4,5,6. This are the values that X can take.

The probability is calculated as equal to the relative frequency of each of the values.

For X=1, P = 364/4000 = 0.091

For X=2, P = 496/4000 = 0.124

For X=3, P = 460/4000 = 0.115

For X=4, P = 1512/4000 = 0.378

For X=5, P = 1056/4000 = 0.264

For X=6, P = 112/4000 = 0.028

ms. Rao buys a computer, a printer, and a scanner for $2543. the computer cost $1502 more than the printer. the printer costs $1
Mazyrski [523]
This question involves a system of equations.

for the variables we will use c for computer, p for printer, and s for scanner.

in order to solve a system of equations, we need to solve one variable, so we will just pick c because we are solving for the computer.

when we set up the
equation, we need to convert all the variables into an applicable form of c, since that is the variable we are solving for. we can do this because we have information on how the other variables differ on c.

so we get these translations:

c = c
p = c - 1502
s = p - 123

however, the scanner is not translated to c yet, it is translated into p, but we know p can translate into c, so we plug in the equation for p as so:

s = (c - 1502) - 123

which translates to

s = c - 1625

now we have

c = c
p = c - 1502
s = c - 1625

now that we have the translations, we have to use the original equation given to us which is

c + p + s = 2543

which, with our translations can be said as

c + (c - 1502) + (c - 1625) = 2543

which simplifies to

3c - 3127 = 2543.

now, we add 3127 to both sides to get

3c = 5670

then, we divide 3 to both sides to get

c = 1890

so the computer costs 1890.

if you want to find the price for the printer and scanner, simply take c and plug it in to the other equations as so.

p = 1890 - 1502 (388)
s = 1890 - 1625 (265)

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 50 mm. One leg of the right triangle is 30 mm. What is the length of the other leg?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

40 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 40 mm because the Pythagorean Theorem explains a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

This means the unknown number plus 30^2 = 50^2

What you want to do is 50^2 - 30^2= 20^2; which would be 2500-900=1600.

You got 1600 but that isn't your final answer. You want to find the square root 1600. So 1600 square rooted is 40.

40 mm is your final answer.

How do you divide scientific notation problems like this: 0.00053 ÷ 29?
Shtirlitz [24]
You got to remember
\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m+n}

first write them in scienfitic notation
0.00053=5.3*10^{-4}
29=2.9*10^1


so
\frac{0.00053}{29}=
\frac{(5.3)(10^{-4})}{(2.9)(10^1)}=
(\frac{5.3}{2.9})(\frac{10^{-4}}{10^1}=
(1.8275862068965517241379310344828)(10^{-4-1})=
(1.8275862068965517241379310344828)(10^{-5})=
1.8275862068965517241379310344828*10^{-5}

that's the answer
