Which is true about the polynomial ?

What are the solutions to the equation 2(x-3)^2=54 ?

erastova [34]

Answer:

x =(6-√108)/2=3-3√ 3 = -2.196

x =(6+√108)/2=3+3√ 3 = 8.196

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 • (x - 3)2 - 54 = 0

Step 2 :

2.1 Evaluate : (x-3)2 = x2-6x+9

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

2x2 - 12x - 36 = 2 • (x2 - 6x - 18)

Adding 9 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

x2-6x+9 =

(x-3) • (x-3) =

(x-3)2 (x-3)1 =

x-3

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #4.3.1 we get:

x-3 = √ 27

Add 3 to both sides to obtain:

x = 3 + √ 27

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

x2 - 6x - 18 = 0

has two solutions:

x = 3 + √ 27

or

x = 3 - √ 27

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

4.4 Solving x2-6x-18 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .

According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :

- B ± √ B2-4AC

x = ————————

2A

In our case, A = 1

B = -6

C = -18

Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =

36 - (-72) =

108

Applying the quadratic formula :

6 ± √ 108

x = —————

2

Can √ 108 be simplified ?

Yes! The prime factorization of 108 is

2•2•3•3•3

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 108 = √ 2•2•3•3•3 =2•3•√ 3 =

± 6 • √ 3

√ 3 , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is 1.7321

So now we are looking at:

x = ( 6 ± 6 • 1.732 ) / 2

Two real solutions:

x =(6+√108)/2=3+3√ 3 = 8.196

or:

x =(6-√108)/2=3-3√ 3 = -2.196

Find the area below

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

A = 693

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape presented is a parallelogram, and the formula for this is:

A = bh

The "b," is the base (21) and the "h," is the height (33), so plug this in:

A = (21)(33)

A = 693

The graph of a quadratic function has a vertex at (5,3) and goes through the point (-1,-9). What is the equation of the function

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{3} (x-5)^2+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following;

Vertex of a quadratic function = (5,3)
A point where the function passes through (-1, -9)

Required to determine the equation of the function;

We need to know the vertex form of a quadratic function is;

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$ , where h and k correspond to the vertex (h,k)

Therefore, we can replace the variables h and k of the vertex in the equation;

That is;

$y=a(x-5)^2+3$

Then we use the equation and the point given to solve for a

x = -1 and y = -9

We get;

$-9=a(-1-5)^2+3\\-9 = a(36) + 3\\-9 - 3 = 36a\\-12 =36a \\a=-\frac{1}{3}$

Substituting the values of a, h and k in the equation, we get;

$y=-\frac{1}{3} (x-5)^2+3$

Thus, the equation of the function in the vertex form is $y=-\frac{1}{3} (x-5)^2+3$

WhiThree-fifths of the members of the Spanish club are girls. There are a total of 30 girls in the Spanish club.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The total members in the Spanish Club = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total members in the Spanish Club = x

Now, number of girls in the club = 30

Three-fifths of the members are girls.

⇒ $(\frac{3}{5} )$ of total members x = 30

or, $(\frac{3}{5}) \times x = 30\\$

Now, solving for x, we get:

$x = 30 \times\frac{5}{3} = 50$

or, x = 50

Hence,the total members in the Spanish Club = 50
