Solve the quadratic equation: 2x2 + 11x − 6 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise the quadratic consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x term.

product = 2 × - 6 = - 12 and sum = + 11

The factors are + 12 and - 1

Use these factors to split the middle term

2x² + 12x - x - 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 6) - 1(x + 6) = 0 (factor out (x + 6) )

(x + 6)(2x - 1) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

The tangent of an angle is 3.4. what is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this question, you first need to know what SohCahToa is.

S- opposite over hypotenuse

C- adjacent over hypotenuse

T- opposite over adjacent

In this situation, they have made it easier for you as they have given you the quotient of the opposite and adjacent sides (3.4) . Now in order to find an angle, you take the inverse of your expression. So instead of just Tan, you would plug in Tan^-1. So plug it in:

Tan^-1 (3.4)

Answer is 73.6 degrees.

Solve the following system using the substitution, elimination, or graphing method for the x coordinate:
igomit [66]
Hey there!

To solve this system of equations, you will need to get one of the terms in both equations to cancel out to zero. If there isn't a term that you can cancel out, you can multiply either or both equations to make that term. There's no wrong way to do this, just as long as you make sure that you double check whether your should add or subtract. This is easier shown than explained, so refer below:

<span>  x + y = +1
5x + y = –6

</span>–1(x + y = +1)
   5x + y = –6

–x – y = –1
5x + y = –6

You can see that once we combine these equations by adding, the y term will become 0, eliminating it. This is necessary for solving the system, so make sure you do it. Also, remember to distribute the term that you need to to all of the numbers in the equation! After that, just solve for the variable that's still in the equation. 

   –x – y = –1
+ 5x + y = –6

4x + 0y = –7
4x = –7
x = –1.75

Now, just plug the value we found for x into either one of your equations in the original system as it's presented in your problem. 

x + y = 1
–1.75 + y = 1
+1.75        +1.75

y = 2.75

All that's left to do is check your point (–1.75, 2.75). If it's true for both equations, your answer is correct!

–1.75 + 2.75 = 1
<span>5(–1.75) + 2.75 = –6

</span>(–1.75, 2.75) is the solution to your system. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
