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}

What are the roots of the equation? x2−x−42=0 Enter your answers in the boxes.
Levart [38]

Answer:

x = 7  x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2−x−42=0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -42 and add to -1

-7*6 = -42

-7+6 = -1

(x-7) (x+6) =0

Using the zero product property

x-7 =0   x+6 =0

x = 7  x = -6

3102 base 4 to base 2 *show work please*
Shalnov [3]
3102 base4 = 3x4^3+ 1x4^2 + 2x1 = 3x64 + 1x16 + 2 = 210 base10
The powers of 2 are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
210 = 128 + 64 + 16 + 2 = 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^4 + 2^1 = 11010010 base2

A faster method is to each digit in base 4 to two digits in base 2
3 base4 = 11 base2
1 base4 = 01 base2
0 base4 = 00 base2
2 base4 = 10 base2
So 3102 base4 = 11010010 base2

If you wanted to convert base 4 to (say) base 5 you would need the first method and convert to base 10 first

room temperature is considered to be 70 fahrenheit suppose the temperature is 23 celsius is this greater than or less than room
tatiyna

Answer:

Greater than

Step-by-step explanation:

(<em>C</em> × 9/5) + 32 = <em>F</em>

(23°C × 9/5) + 32 = 73.4°F

Therefore, 23°C is greater than room temperature (70°F).
