7x^2 - 16x - 8 = 0
using the quadratic formula x = [ -(-16)+/- sqrt((-16^2 - 4*7-8] / 2*7
= (16 +/1 sqrt 480) / 14
= 2.71, -0.42 to nearest hundredth
Answer:
5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
A model car is made to a scale of 1:50 (model: real).
If the model has a length of 10 cm, calculate the length of the real car (answer in meters).
We have a scale of :
model: real = 1:50
The model has a length of 10cm
Hence:
1 cm = 50 cm
10 cm = x cm
Cross Multiply
x cm × 1cm = 10 cm × 50 cm
x cm = 10 cm × 50 cm/1cm
x cm = 500 cm
The length of the real car is 500cm
Converting the length of the real car to meters
100cm = 1 m
500 cm = x m
Cross Multiply
100cm × x m = 500 cm × 1 m
x m = 500 cm × 1 m/100 cm
x m = 5 m
The Length of the real car in meters is 5m
Yintercepts are where x=0
set to zero to solve
0^2+4y^2=16
4y^2=16
divide 4
y^2=4
sqrt both sides
y=+/-2
xintercept is where y=0
x^2+4(0)^2=16
x^2+0=16
x^2=16
sdqrtboth sides
x=+/-4
yintercepts are (0,2) and (0,-2)
xintercepts are (4,0) and (-4,0)
