Answer:

5. x = { -13/2, 13/2 }

6. x = { (-5/4)±(<em>i</em>√(23)/4) }

7. x = { 1 - √7, 1 + √7 }

8. z = { -9<em>i </em>,9<em>i </em>}

Step-by-step explanation:

Most quadratic equations can be graphed with the help of their x-intercepts. These x-intercepts, also known as zeroes or solutions, can be found by solving the quadratic equation. In a quadratic equation, when x is isolated, what x equals to is considered the solutions of the equation.

There are four main methods of solving quadratic equations: factoring, using the quadratic formula, using the square root method, and completing the square. I will try to solve each of these eqautions with one of the four methods.

5. 4x^2 - 169 = 0 (The Square Root Method)

<u>Quadratic equations have a standard form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. The square root method can be used if b = 0. The first step of the square root method is to make ax^2 = c. We do that by adding 169 to both sides.</u>

4x^2 = 169

<u>We then divide both sides by 4 to isolate x^2.</u>

x^2 = 169/4

<u>To get x by itself we square root both sides. </u><em><u>When doing so, the c becomes ±c because both squaring a positive and negative number gets a positive result.</u></em>

x = ±√(169/4)

<u>We then use the quotient property of square roots to make solving x much easier.</u>

x = ±(√169/√4)

x = ± 13/2

x = { -13/2, 13/2 }

6. 2(x^2) + 5x = -6 (The Quadratic Formula)

<u>The quadratic formula is a derived form of the standard form of a quadratic equation:</u>

x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

<u>To use it, we first have to find the a, b, and c in this equation. To do this we must change this into equation into standard form by adding 6 on both sides.</u>

2(x^2) + 5x + 6 = 0

<u>Now we know that a = 2, b = 5, and c = 6. We will now subsitute this into the quadratic formula and solve for x.</u>

x = (-5±√(5^2-4*2*6))/2*2

x = (-5±√(25-48))/4

x = (-5±√(-23))/4

x = (-5/4)±(√(-23)/4)

<u>The square root of -1 is said to be </u><u><em>i</em></u><u>, an imaginary number. The square root of -23 is √(23)*√(-1) or </u><u><em>i</em></u><u>√(23).</u>

x = { (-5/4)±(<em>i</em>√(23)/4) }

I<u>f don't know imaginary numbers yet or still consider answers with negative square roots as not real, then just say that the equation has no real solutions. </u>

<u />

7. x^2 - 6 = 2x (Completing the Square)

<u>Some expressions can be factored so that it multiplies by itself. If we have (a+b)(a+b), it is said to be a perfect square trinomial, where it equals a^2 + 2ab + b^2. The same can be said for (a-b)(a-b), which equals a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Completing the square helps us use this idea to solve quadratic equations.</u>

<u>First, we need to get the quadratic formula into a^2 + bx = c form. So we mush add 6 and subtract 2x on both sides.</u>

x^2 - 2x = 6

<u>Now, in order to make a perfect square trinomial, we consider the b constant. We must add (b/2)^2 to both sides to make sure that we can have this. Only simplify the inside of the parantheses for the first (b/2)^2.</u>

x^2 - 2x + (2/2)^2 = 6 + (2/2)^2

x^2 -2x + (1)^2 = 7

<u>Now that we have a^2 - 2ab + b^2, we can change that to (a-b)^2.</u>

(x-1)^2 = 7

<u>Now look at this! It went from a completing the square problem to a square root method problem. Since we know how to solve this kind of problem, let's do it.</u>

x-1 = ± √7

x = 1 ± √7

x = { 1 - √7, 1 + √7 }

8. z^2 + 81 = 0 (The Square Root Method)

z^2 = -81

z = ±√-81

z = ±(√81*√-1)

z = ±9<em>i</em>

z = { -9<em>i </em>,9<em>i </em>}

<em />

<u>Sadly, there's no example of the factoring method, so I'll make one myself.</u>

BONUS. z^2 - 81 = 0 (Factoring)

<u>First, we make the equation into the form of (x+?)(x+?) = 0.</u>

(x+?)(x+?) = 0.

<u>In the FOIL method, (x+a)(x+b) = x^2 + x(a+b) + ab. What this means is that these two unknown factors add and multiply together to get the b and c constants of the quadratic equation respectively. So, on in the case of b equaling 0 and c equaling -81, we have to ask ourselves this: What two numbers multiply to get -81 and add to get 0? </u>

<u>First, consider the multiplicants: -1 and 81, 1 and -81, -3 and 27, 3 and -27, -9 and 9. Out of all of these, only -9 and 9 fit. </u>

(x+9)(x-9) = 0.

<u>Separate these two into their own equations equal to 0 and solve them.</u>

x + 9 = 0 => x = -9      

x - 9 = 0 => x = 9

x = { -9, 9}

Sunglasses that usually cost 160.95 are on sale for 128.44. What percent off are they plz I need help
Zarrin [17]

The percent discount is: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percentage will be used to find the percentage of discount.

Given

Original price = $160.95

Discounted price = $128.44

The discount is:

D = Original price - sale price

D = 160.95 - 128.44\\= 32.51

The percent discount is given by:

Discount = \frac{discount}{Original\ price} *100\\= \frac{32.51}{160.95}*100\\= 0.2019 * 100\\= 20.19\%

Rounding off to nearest whole percent

20%

Hence,

The percent discount is: 20%

The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is r
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min

hence, height = 1 / ( 52.0 - 50.0) = 1 / 2

now the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min = ?

P( 50.8 < X < 51 ) = base × height

= ( 51 - 50.8) × 1/2

= 0.2 × 0.5

= 0.1 ≈ 10%  

therefore the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%
