Solve for x. 2/5 (x - 9/10) =- 2 3/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
topjm [15]2 years ago

Answer:

x = -5.975

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute first by multiplying 2/5 by 'x' and then by 9/10 to get:

2/5x - 18/50 = -2 3/4

next, change -2 3/4 into an improper fraction to get:

2/5x - 18/50 = -11/4

now add 18/50 to -18/50 and to -11/4 using a common denominator of 100

2/5x = -275/100 + 36/100

2/5x = -239/100

multiply each side by 5/2 to isolate 'x':

x = -239/100 · 5/2

x = -1195/200

now simplify:

x = -5.975

The zeroes of the polynomial f(x) = x^2+x+3/4 are​
matrenka [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + x + 3/4

in general, such a quadratic function is defined as

f(x) = a×x² + b×x + c

the solution for finding the values of x where a quadratic function value is 0 (there are as many solutions as the highest exponent of x, so 2 here in our case)

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 1

c = 3/4

x = (-1 ± sqrt(1² - 4×1×3/4))/(2×1) =

= (-1 ± sqrt(1 - 3))/2 = (-1 ± sqrt(-2))/2 =

= (-1 ± sqrt(2)i)/2

x1 = (-1 + sqrt(2)i) / 2

x2 = (-1 - sqrt(2)i) / 2

remember, i = sqrt(-1)

f(x) has no 0 results for x = real numbers.

for the solution we need to use imaginary numbers.

Radda [10]

Answer:

ok this the answer   By definition, a rectangle is a parallelogram because its pairs of opposite sides are parallel. A rectangle also has the special characteristic that all of its angles are right angles; all four of its angles are congruent. The other special case of a parallelogram is a special type of rectangle, a square.
