What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below?

Mathematics

Luden [163]2 years ago

Using factorization method;

x²+13x+40=0

x²+13+40

Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).

The two numbers are +5 and +8

The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40

You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)

x(x+5)+8(x+5)

(x+8)(x+5)

x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)

x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)

x= -8 or x= -5

What is the solution to the inequality below?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

B. x < -8 or x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use process of elimination to solve this problem by going through every solution and testing them out, but let's jump right to B.

Process:

You know that since the inequality states that x^2 has to be greater than 64, x  has to be more than 8, or less than -8.

This is because 8^2 = 64, and -8^2 = 64, and the inequality requires the answer to be more than 64.

Looking at B., you can see that if x is < -8, the square of, for example, -9, would be 81. This is greater than 64, so this works!

Now, B. also has an alternative. The 'or' is a major clue to which is the correct answer, since the square root of any number can be positive or negative. (-8^2 = 8^2)

The 'or' states that x must be greater than 8. So, for example, if we take the square of 10, we get 100, and that is also greater than 64.

We've proven that this solution is accurate for both parts, so it is definitely the one we want!

Hope this helps!

Which fractions are greater than -5/16 ?
AlladinOne [14]
-5/16 

Our choices:-

A.-3/8
 
 
 B.-11/12
 
 
 C.-1/4
 
 
<span> D.-1/8
</span>
Let us get all of them with a LCD

-1*2 = -2
8*2 = 16

-2/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-11/12 is bigger than -5/16 because half of 16 is 8.

-1*4 = -4
4*4= 16

-4/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-1/8 is smaller than -5/16

Final answer: -11/12 is the only fraction bigger than -5/16

n^2-2n-3 where n is the number of key rings in thousands, find the number of key rings sold when the profits is $5,000
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

For the profit of $5,000, the key chains made is n = 4,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given expression , where: n = Number of key rings in thousands is given as:

P(n)  =   n²- 2 n - 3

Now, Profit is given to be $5,000.

Also, as we know 5000 = 5  x (1,000)

⇒  n²- 2 n - 3 = 5

Now, solving the above expression for the value of n, we get:

n^2 -  2 n - 3 = 5\\\implies  n^2  -2n - 8  =  0\\\implies  n^2  -4n +  2n - 8  =  0\\\implies n(n-4)  + 2(n-4)  = 0\\\implies (n-4) (n+2)  = 0

So, n = 4, OR , n = -2

Now, as n = The number of key chains. So it CANNOT BE NEGATIVE.

So,  n=  4  =  4 x (1,000)  = 4,000 key rings.

Hence, for the profit of $5,000, the key chains made is n = 4,000.
