Solve for x: 3 < X + 3

◆ Quadratic Equations ◆<br>Please help !

Mila [183]

I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.

Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4

$\sf ax^2+(1-a(b+c))x+abc-d)$

$\sf 1x^2+(1-1(2+3))x+(1)(2)(3)-(4))$

Simplify into standard form:

$\sf x^2+(1-1(5))x+6-4$

$\sf x^2+(1-5)x+2$

$\sf x^2-4x+2$

Use the quadratic formula to solve:

$\sf x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

For functions in the form of $\sf ax^2+bx+c$ . So in this case:

a = 1
b = -4
c = 2

Plug them in:

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}$

Solve for 'x':

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16-8}}{2}$

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}$

$\sf x\approx\dfrac{4\pm 2.83}{2}$

$\sf x\approx 0.59,3.41$

So the answer would be A.

Which statement(s) is (are) correct?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

<em>statements 3 and 4 are correct.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The probability of choosing cured pasta and bear= probability that the card is king.

Hence, The probability of choosing cured pasta and bear= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

Probability of choosing baked cucumber and lime mutton=probability that the card is 3.

as there are 4 cards that are '3'.

Hence Probability of choosing baked cucumber and lime mutton= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

as both the probabilities are equal.

Hence statement 1 is incorrect.

(2)

The probability of choosing gooseberry & passion fruit cheesecake= Probability taht the card is ace.

as there are 4 cards which are ace out of 52 cards.

Hence, The probability of choosing gooseberry & passion fruit cheesecake= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator=Probability that the card is a face card.

As there are 12 face cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator= $\dfrac{12}{52}=\dfrac{3}{13}$

Hence, the probability of choosing gooseberry and passion fruit cheesecake is smaller than the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator.

Hence statement 2 is false.

(3)

The probability of choosing a praline wafer=probability that the card is a diamond.

as there are 13 diamond cards out of 52 cards.

The probability of choosing a praline wafer= $\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator=Probability that the card is a face card.

As there are 12 face cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator= $\dfrac{12}{52}=\dfrac{3}{13}$

Hence, The probability of choosing a praline wafer is greater than the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator.

Hence statement 3 is correct.

(4)

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken =probability that the card is red.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence,

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken = $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone =probability that the card is black.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone= $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken and the probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone are the same.

Hence statement 4 is true.

(5)

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken =probability that the card is red.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence,

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken = $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

the probability of choosing a praline wafer=probability that the card is a diamond.

as there are 13 diamond cards out of 52 cards.

The probability of choosing a praline wafer= $\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, the probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken and the probability of choosing a praline wafer are not same.

Hence, statement 5 is not correct.

The pyramid of khagra,in Egypt,is 488 feet tall. The Eiffel Tower,in France,is 1,063 feet tall. How much taller is the Eiffel To

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The Eiffel Tower in France is 575 feet taller than pyramid of khagra.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Height of pyramid of khagra = 488 feet

Height of Eiffel Tower in France = 1,063 feet

Difference in height =

= Height of Eiffel Tower in France - Height of pyramid of khagra

$=1063 - 488\\= 575\text{ feet}$

Thus, the Eiffel Tower in France is 575 feet taller than pyramid of khagra.
