Step-by-step explanation:
First write out the equation
x² - x - 20
Now we now write the equation by equating to 0
x² - x - 20 = 0
We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So
x² - x = 20,
We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes
x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²
x² - ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄
( x - ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction
( x - ¹/₂ )² = ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4
Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₄
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₂
Therefore,
x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

Answer:
5/9 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:
2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m
Then the surface area of the water is ...
A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²
The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:
8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')
h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will have to use trigonometry. Since the side of the triangleis the opposite of the angle 53 and the hypotenuse, you will use sin.
Sin 53 degrees = opposite side / hypotenuse side.
The opposite side is x and the hypotenuse side equals 15.
sin53= x/15
15 ( sin 53 ) =x
x= 11.97953

A pair of the opposite sides of a hexagon has equal length and this is proved below.
<h3>How to illustrate the hexagon?</h3>
It should be noted that a hexagon is a polygon that has six sides.
In this case, it has 6 sides.
The total angles will be:
= (n - 2) × 180
= (6 - 2) × 180
= 720°
Each angle will hence be:
= 720°/6
= 120°
Each angle are equal and this illustrates that the parallel sides are equal.
A diagram is attached to illustrate the pair of parallel sides.
