How do you factor this? x^{2} + 5 x- 9 = ?

1 answer:

6 0

$x^2+5x-9\\\\a=1;\ b=5;\ c=-9\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-9)=25+36=61 > 0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{61}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x^2+5x-9=\left(x-\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)$

Determine the period of the function g(x) = (cos ;)

Romashka [77]

Answer:

6 $\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of a sinusoidal function in the form a * cos (b (x + h)) + m is $\frac{2\pi }{|b|}$ . Therefore, we can see that "b" in g(x) is 1/3 and 1/3 substituted into $\frac{2\pi }{|b|}$ is 2 $\pi$ /1/3 which is 6 $\pi$ .

A forest covers 37 comma 000 acres. A survey finds that 0.2% of the forest is old-growth trees. How many acres of old-growth

miss Akunina [59]

74 acres of old-growth are there in the forest

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we need to calculate the 0.2% of 37,000.We can calculate this stating that exists a linear relationship between the percentage and the number of acres. We also need to state that 37,000 acres are the 100% of the acres.

$=\frac{0.2}{100} \times 37000\\ =0.002 \times 37000\\=74$
