This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the parallelogram with the lengths 5x, 3x + 1, 2y - 5 and y.
We need to determine the values of x and y.
<u>Values of x and y:</u>
We know the property that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
Thus, we have;
------- (1)
------- (2)
The value of x and y can be determined using the substitution method.
Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we have;
Thus, the value of x is 3.
Substituting x = 3 in equation (2), we have;
Thus, the value of y is 10.
The identity in question is
cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)
so that
cos(a - b) = 12/37 cos(a) + 3/5 sin(b)
Since both a and b lie in the first quadrant, both cos(a) and sin(b) will be positive. Then it follows from the Pythagorean identity,
cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1,
that
cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 4/5
and
sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 35/37
So,
cos(a - b) = 12/37 • 4/5 + 3/5 • 35/37 = 153/185
Both the red and white roses would make up seven roses
Answer:
The average speed of Sebastian is 3 miles per hour.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, In hours, Sebastian can walk 4 1/2 miles.
we have to find What is his average speed in hours per mile
We know that, average speed
In our problem, total distance travelled =
Now, average speed of Sebastian
Hence, the average speed of Sebastian is 3 miles per hour.
