Solve using the quadratic formula 2n^2- 15 = -4n

Mathematics

NeX [460]2 years ago

Answer:

\displaystyle n_1 = \frac{-2 + \sqrt{34}}{2} \approx 1.9155 \text{ or } n_2 = \frac{-2-\sqrt{34}}{2} \approx -3.9155

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

\displaystyle 2n^2 - 15 = -4n

And we want to solve using the quadratic formula.

First, isolate the equation:

\displaystyle 2n^2 + 4n - 15 = 0

Recall that for equations in the form <em>ax</em>² + <em>bx</em> + <em>c</em> = 0, the solutions are given by:

\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 4, and <em>c</em> = -15.

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} n&= \frac{-(4)\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(2)(-15)}}{2(2)} \\ \\ &= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{136}}{4} \\ \\ &= \frac{-4\pm2\sqrt{34}}{4} \\ \\ &= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{34}}{2} \end{aligned}

In conclusion, our two solutions are:

\displaystyle n_1 = \frac{-2 + \sqrt{34}}{2} \approx 1.9155 \text{ or } n_2 = \frac{-2-\sqrt{34}}{2} \approx -3.9155

Find the maximum value of c=4x+2y<br>2x+2y less than or equal to 10<br>3x+y less than or equal to 9
svp [43]

Answer: 14

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1: Graph both equations to find the vertices (see attached):

  • The graph shows vertices at: (0, 0), (3, 0), (0, 5) and (2, 3)

Step 2: Input the coordinates of the vertices into the given function                  (c = 4x + 2y):

  • (0, 0):   4(0) + 2(0) = 0
  • (3, 0):   4(3) + 2(0) = 12
  • (0, 5):   4(0) + 2(5) = 10
  • (2, 3):    4(2) + 2(3) = 14

Step 3: Evaluate the value from Step 2 to find the maximum (largest).

  • the largest value between {0, 12, 10, 14} is 14

What is the area of the parallelogram
Airida [17]

Answer:

  24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

For such questions it is convenient to choose the "base" to be a segment that is aligned with one of the coordinate axes. Here, the horizontal segments will serve. Their length is the difference between the x-coordinates of the end points, -2 -(-6) = 4, for example.

The height is measured perpendicular to the base, so will be the difference between the y-coordinates of the horizontal segments: 2 -(-4) = 6.

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = bh

  A = 4·6 = 24 . . . square units

A charity has received donations totaling $2370. However, this is only three-fifths of its goal.
Alinara [238K]
3,950 is your answer. See, you divide 2,370 by 3 to get 1/5 of their goal and then multiply that by 5.
