Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -2; or x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the quadratic function by completing the square. What are the missing pieces in the steps? -32=2(x^2+10)

-32+___=2(x2+10x+25)

18=2(x+5)^2

9=(x+5)^2

+-___=x+5

X=-2 or x=___

Solution:

From the first line:

-32+___=2(x2+10x+25)

Also, in the second line:

18=2(x+5)^2

Let the missing piece on line 2 be a, hence:

x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)² and -32 + a = 18

a = 18 + 32 = 50

-32 + 50 =2(x²+10x+25)

18 = 2(x+5)²

Dividing through by 2:

18 / 2= [2(x+5)² / 2]

9 = (x + 5)²

Taking square root of both sides:

√9 = √(x + 5)²

± 3 = x+5

Simplifying the equation to get:

3 = x + 5; -3 = x + 5

x = 3 - 5; or x = -3 - 5

x = -2; or x = -8

On monday it took 5 builders to 3 1/2 hours to build a wall
zubka84 [21]

Answer:   £ 81.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On Monday,

5 builders took 3\dfrac{1}{2} hours  ( i.e. \dfrac{7}{2} hours )  to build a wall.

On Tuesday, only 2 builders were available.

As workers are inversely proportional to the time if the job remains constant.

Inverse variation equation : x_1y_1=x_2y_2

Let x be the time taken by 2 builders, then

2\times x =5\times \dfrac{7}{2}

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{35}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{35}{4}=8.75

So, 2 builders will take 8.75 hours.

Each paid  £9.30 for each hour.

Then, each builder will be paid for the work completed on Tuesday = £9.30 x  8.75

≈ £ 81.38

Hence, each builder will be paid £ 81.38 for the work completed on Tuesday .

Suppose the 13 inch is aware cost $.78 at the same rate how much (in cents) will 33 inches of wire cost
miskamm [114]
When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost

13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98

33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.

A right triangle ABC is shown. Leg AC has length 18, leg BC has length 24, and hypotenuse AB has length 30. Find the exact value
Tresset [83]
Although there i no triangle given as the question requires, I am still going to answer because I understand it.

ABC is a right angled triangle. The triangle is 90° at C.

The trigonometric ratio sine is given by, sine = opposite/hypotenuse .
Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
 
So therefore, Sin A = 24/30
                               = 4/5

                     Cos A = 18/30
                               = 3/5
