3x^2 + 2x + 5 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  3x2−2x−5=0

Let us factorize using the split the middle term method.

On inspection we observe that middle term can be split in two parts whose product is equal to the product of first and third term.

Two terms are −5xand3x

The equation becomes

3x2+3x−5x−5=0, pairing the two and taking out common factors

⇒(3x2+3x)−(5x+5)=0,

don't forget to change the sign of −5 once placed inside the parenthesis.

⇒3x(x+1)−5(x+1)=0

⇒(x+1)(3x−5)=0

Either (x+1)=0 or (3x−5)=0

We obtain x=−1,53

or x=−1,123

Given collinear points E, F and G such that point F is the midpoint of segment EG. Find the new length of EG given that EF =5x+9
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The length of EG is 58 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal part

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ E, F, and G are collinear points

∵ Point F is the midpoint of segment EG

→ That means F divides EG into 2 equal segments EF and FG

∴ EF = FG

∵ EF = 5x + 9

∵ FG = 3x + 17

→ Equate them

∴ 5x + 9 = 3x + 17

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∵ 5x - 3x + 9 = 3x - 3x + 17

∴ 2x + 9 = 17

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 2x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9

∴ 2x = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}

∴ x = 4

→ Substitute x by 4 in EF and FG to find their lengths

∵ EF = 5(4) + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29

∵ FG = 3(4) + 17 = 12 = 17 = 29

∵ EG = EF + FG

∴ EG = 29 + 29 = 58

∴ The length of EG is 58 units

Jeremy swims 5 3/5 kilometers in a 7 day period. He swims the same distance each day. What distance does he swim?
PIT_PIT [208]
Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.
