Solve x^2-8x-9=0 using completing the square (show the work)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: x=9,-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are gonna start out with finding two numbers that multiply to equal -9 and add up to equal -8

Those numbers would be -9 & 1

-9+1=-8

-9x1=-9

Now we have

(x-9)(x+1)

x-9=0   x+1=0

 +9 +9   -1  -1

x=9      x=-1

f(x)=2x. If g(x) is a vertical stretch, compression, and or reflection of f(x) followed by a, what is the equation of g(x)?
Montano1993 [528]

The function g(x) is g(x)= (3x)^2

<h3>How to solve for g(x)?</h3>

The complete question is in the image

From the graph in the image, we have:

f(x) = x^2

The function f(x) is stretched by a factor of 3 to form g(x).

This means that:

g(x) = f(3x)

So, we have:

g(x)= (3x)^2

Hence, the function g(x) is g(x)= (3x)^2

Find the doubling time of an investment earning 7% interest if interest is compounded continuously
Alex

Answer:

The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate equation for this compound interest is

A = Pe^(rt), where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the elapsed time in years.

If P doubles, then A = 2P

Thus, 2P = Pe^(0.07t)

Dividing both sides by P results in 2 = e^(0.07t)

Take the natural log of both sides:  ln 2 = 0.07t.

Then t = elapsed time = ln 2

                                       --------- = 0.69315/0.07 = 9.9

                                         0.07

The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.

What is the area of a parallelogram whose vertices are A(−1, 12) , B(13, 12) , C(2, −5) , and D(−12, −5) ?
Delicious77 [7]
<span>238 square units. The area of a parallelogram is the base multiplied by the height. You can use any of its four sides as the base, so pick the one that is easiest to deal with. Examining the parallelogram, you'll notice that line segments AB and CD are both parallel to the x axis which makes it extremely easy to calculate the height which is 12 - (-5) = 17. The length of AB is 13 - (-1) = 14. So the area of the parallelogram is 14 * 17 = 238</span>
