Answer:

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.

We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.

2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4. 24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.

2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3. x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.

2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4. 88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.

2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4. x = 9 ± √89 / 4.

2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4. x = 9 ± √33 / 4 .

A cylindrical soup can has a radius of 1.2 in. and is 6 in. tall. What's the volume?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Volume= 27. 12inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this question lets write out the parameters given

radius of the cylinder = 1.2 inches

height of the cylinder = 6 inches

volume of the cylinder = ?

<u>solution</u>

the fomular to find the volume of a cylinder is given to be

Volume= πr²h

Volume= 3.14 × ( 1.2)² × 6

Volume= 3.14 × 1.44 × 6

Volume= 27. 12inches³

therefore the volume of the cylinder equals to 27. 12inches³

The soup was missing and 3/4 of the soup was gone 1/4 was in the pot. you have to feed 6 children. How much soup do you give to

postnew [5]

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 divided by 6 will equal 1/24 of the soup to each kid

this is reproved when you add 1/24 x 6 and it will give .25 which is 1/4

What is a quick and easy way to remember explicit and recursive formulas?

Oliga [24]

I always found derivation to be helpful in remembering. Since this question is tagged as at the middle school level, I assume you've only learned about arithmetic and geometric sequences.

First, remember what these names mean. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which consecutive terms are increased by a fixed amount; in other words, it is an additive sequence. If $a_n$ is the $n$ th term in the sequence, then the next term $a_{n+1}$ is a fixed constant (the common difference $d$ ) added to the previous term. As a recursive formula, that's

$a_{n+1}=a_n+d$

This is the part that's probably easier for you to remember. The explicit formula is easily derived from this definition. Since $a_{n+1}=a_n+d$ , this means that $a_n=a_{n-1}+d$ , so you plug this into the recursive formula and end up with

$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-1}+d)+d=a_{n-1}+2d$

You can continue in this pattern, since every term in the sequence follows this rule:

$a_{n+1}=a_{n-1}+2d$
$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-2}+d)+2d$
$a_{n+1}=a_{n-2}+3d$
$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-3}+d)+3d$
$a_{n+1}=a_{n-3}+4d$

and so on. You start to notice a pattern: the subscript of the earlier term in the sequence (on the right side) and the coefficient of the common difference always add up to $n+1$ . You have, for example, $(n-2)+3=n+1$ in the third equation above.

Continuing this pattern, you can write the formula in terms of a known number in the sequence, typically the first one $a_1$ . In order for the pattern mentioned above to hold, you would end up with

$a_{n+1}=a_1+nd$

or, shifting the index by one so that the formula gives the $n$ th term explicitly,

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Now, geometric sequences behave similarly, but instead of changing additively, the terms of the sequence are scaled or changed multiplicatively. In other words, there is some fixed common ratio $r$ between terms that scales the next term in the sequence relative to the previous one. As a recursive formula,

$a_{n+1}=ra_n$

Well, since $a_n$ is just the term after $a_{n-1}$ scaled by $r$ , you can write

$a_{n+1}=r(ra_{n-1})=r^2a_{n-1}$

Doing this again and again, you'll see a similar pattern emerge:

$a_{n+1}=r^2a_{n-1}$
$a_{n+1}=r^2(ra_{n-2})$
$a_{n+1}=r^3a_{n-2}$
$a_{n+1}=r^3(ra_{n-3})$
$a_{n+1}=r^4a_{n-3}$

and so on. Notice that the subscript and the exponent of the common ratio both add up to $n+1$ . For instance, in the third equation, $3+(n-2)=n+1$ . Extrapolating from this, you can write the explicit rule in terms of the first number in the sequence:

$a_{n+1}=r^na_1$

or, to give the formula for $a_n$ explicitly,

$a_n=r^{n-1}a_1$
