Answer:

s ≈ - 0.5 , s ≈ 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

s² - 8s - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

s² - 8s = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides

s² + 2(- 4)s + 16 = 4 + 16

(s - 4)² = 20 ( take square root of both sides )

s - 4 = ± \sqrt{20} ( add 4 to both sides )

s = 4 ± \sqrt{20}

Then

s = 4 - \sqrt{20} ≈ - 0.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← smaller solution

s = 4 + \sqrt{20} ≈ 8.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← larger solution

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = daylily

y = geranium

1x + 5y = 22

13x + 1y = 30

Multiply second equation by 5 and subtract the two equations.

1x + 5y = 22

- (65x + 5y = 150)

-64x = -128

x = 2

So one daylily costs 2 dollars

The roof of a castle tower is shaped like a cone. The base of the cone is 24 m across and the height is 16 m. The slant height o
Elanso [62]
(a) Allow me to guide you on this one. Sketch a cone shape. At the circular base of the cone, sketch a straight line across through the middle which will be your diameter(most preferably where the slant height meet the circular base). Label it 24 m. From the apex of the cone, drop a straight line which is perpendicular to the diameter meeting it in the middle. Label that line 16 m. Label the line slanting from the top to the bottom x.

(b) The slant height of the roof is 20 m.
 x^{2} =12^{2} + 16^{2} =144 + 256
 x^{2} =400
x=√400
x=20m
