Answer:

k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation Q(x)=2x^2-kx+18

To find:

Value of k = ? for which the given equation has one distinct real solution.

Solution:

The given equation is a quadratic equation.

There are always two solutions of a quadratic equation.

For the equation: ax^{2} +bx+c=0 to have one distinct solution:

b^2 - 4ac = 0

Here,

a = 2,

b = -k and

c = 18

Putting the values, we get:

(-k)^2 - 4\times 2\times 18 = 0\\\Rightarrow k^2 = 18\times 8\\\Rightarrow k^2 =144\\\Rightarrow k = 12

The equation becomes:

Q(x)=2x^2-12x+18

And the one root is:

2(x^2-6x+9 ) = 0\\\Rightarrow 2(x-3)^2=0\\\Rightarrow x = 3

Laura’s fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 5 liter per minute until the tank has more than 72 liters. What
Hoochie [10]
T= number of minutes

Multiply 5 liters by number of minutes (t), then add the 17 liters already in the tank. This totals 72 liters or more.

17 + 5t ≥ 72
subtract 17 from both sides

5t ≥ 55
divide both sides by 5

t ≥ 11 minutes


ANSWER: Laura could add water for 11 minutes to be sure the tank has 72 liters or more.

Hope this helps! :)

Question on picture!!!!!!!!
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use (3, 8 ) , that is x = 3 when y = 8 , then

8 = \frac{k}{3} ( multiply both sides by 3 )

24 = k

y = \frac{24}{x} ← equation of variation

FinnZ [79.3K]
V=LWH, W=L-3, H=5, V=270

L(L-3)5=270

5L^2-15L=270

5L^2-15L-270=0

L^2-3L-54=0

L^2+6L-9L-54=0

L(L+6)-9(L-6)=0

(L-9)(L+6)=0

Since L>0

L=9 meters
