Let $x$ be the positive number such that $2x^2 = 4x + 9.$

Mathematics

loris [4]2 years ago
4 0

Solve for x. I'll do it by completing the square:

2x² = 4x + 9

2x² - 4x = 9

x² - 2x = 9/2

x² - 2x + 1 = 11/2

(x - 1)² = 11/2

x - 1 = ± √(11/2)

x = 1 ± √(11/2)

x = 1 ± √22/2

x = (2 ± √22)/2

Take the solution with the positive square root. Then it follows that a = c = 2 and b = 22. So a + b + c = 26.

A given line has the equation 10x+2y=-2.
Iteru [2.4K]

The equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

10x + 2y = -2\\2y = -10x-2\\y = -5x-1

Thus, the slope of the line is -5.

Therefore a parallel line is of the form:

y = -5x + b

We replace the point (0,12)

12 = -5 (0) + b\\12 = b

Finally, the equation is of the form:

y = -5x + 12

Answer:

5x + y = 12
