Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to find the zeros.

4x^4 + 8x^3 - 7x^2 -21x - 9

You're supposed to use synthetic division, assuming you're in algebra 2. I removed my calculus work.

x = -1 1/2, 1+sqrt5/2  , 1-sqrt5/2

x= -1.5000000119775176

4x 4 + 8x 3 - 7x 2 - 21x - 9= 0

x= -0.618033988749895

4x 4 + 8x 3 - 7x 2 - 21x - 9= 0

x= 1.618033988749895

4x 4 + 8x 3 - 7x 2 - 21x - 9= 0

Let us consider the small triangle to be ABC and the larger triangle to be ADE

where angle A is the common angle of both the triangle

By triangle proportionality theorem,

If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, the two sides are proportionally divided.

Thus line BC is parallel to DE and hence divides AB and AD as well as

AC and AE proportionally

Thus Triangle ABC is Similar to triangle ADE by SAS

Thus,

AB/BD=BC/DE=AC/CE

Thus, using AB/BD=AC/CE

it is given that AB=10,BC=7x-3,AC=8,CE=28-8=20

AB/BD=AC/AE

10/7x-3=8/20

10x20/8=7x-3

25+3=7x

x=4

Therefore, the correct value of the given X is 4

5x² - 20x + k = 0 has exactly one real solution, show that k=20​

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^2 - 20x + 20 = 0

5 (x^2 - 4x + 4) = 0

x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0

x             -2

x             -2

(x - 2)(x - 2) = 0

-------------------------

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

-----------------------------

5x² - 20x + k = 0

k = - 5x² + 20x

k = - 5(2)² + 20(2)

k = -20 + 40

k = 20

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation :

5x² - 20x + k = 0

∆ = b² − 4bc is the discriminant of the quadratic equation.

In our equation :

a = 5  ;  b= -20  ;  c = k

Then

∆ = (-20)² − 4×5×k

   = 20² − 20k

   = 20×(20 − k)   (Factoring)

The equation 5x² - 20x + k = 0 has exactly one real solution

if and only if  ∆ = 0.

Solving the equation ∆ = 0 :

∆ = 0

⇔ 20×(20 − k) = 0

⇔ (20 − k) = 0    (Zero product property)

⇔ k = 20

David wants to pack 574 cereal bars into bags of 10 and bags of 8. The number of bags of 8 is 2 more than the number of bags of 10. How many bags of 10 and 8 can David pack all the cereal bars into?

Answers

574 cereal bars will be placed in bags of 10 and bags of 8 by David. The number of bags of 8 is 33 and number of bags of 10 is 31.

Given that,

574 cereal bars will be placed in bags of 10 and bags of 8 by David. Two more bags of eight than bags of ten make up the total.

We have to find how many 10 and 8-bag sets of cereal bars can David fit.

Let us take,

x be number of bags of 8 and y be number of bags of 10.

So, we can write as

8x+10y=574→equation(1)

x=y+2→equation(2)

Taking the x value form equation(2) and putting in equation (1).

We get,

8(y+2)+10y=574

8y+16+10y=574

18y+16=574

18y=574-16

18y=558

y=558/18

y=31

We got y=31 substitute y value in equation(2).

x=31+2

x=33

Therefore, the number of bags of 8 is 33 and number of bags of 10 is 31.

What is an angle ?

In the geometry, angle is defined as the geometry formed by the multiple rays. Or we can say that the angle is the figure formed by two rays which has same initial point. These rays are also known as the sides of an angle. A angle can have two rays.

Some common terms related to angle :

Endpoint  : It is the point where the rays met to each other.Ray : Ray is the side or line segment on which angle is formed.Curve : It is a line but not straight i.e. a bended line.Tangent : A line which touches the surface of curve.

In the given question:

as (x-15) and 66 are supplementary angles therefore their sum is 180

i.e. (x-15) + 66 = 180

now solve the equation further,

=> x + 51 = 180

The area of the shaded region is equal to 425π / 18 square centimeters.

How to determine the area of a circular section

The picture indicates us that we must find the area of the shaded region, consisting in a circular section with a measure of central angle of 85° and a radius of 10 centimeters. The area (A), in square centimeters, can be found by using the following formula:

A = (α / 360) · π · r²

Where:

α - Measure of the central angle, in degrees.r - Radius of the circular section, in centimeters.

If we know that α = 85° and r = 10 cm, then the area of the shaded region is:

A = (85 / 360) · π · 10²

A = 425π / 18 cm²

What was Amir's altitude at the beginning of the drive?

Answers

The equation of Amir's altitude relative to sea level (in meters) and time (in minutes) is: y=-12x+360.

What is Straight line?

A straight line is an endless one-dimensional figure that has no width. It is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of a point.

First of all let's write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is y intercept.

So we just need to find  m and b to solve this problem.

Moreover, this problem tells us that Amir drove from Jerusalem down to the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute. So this rate is the slope of the line, that is:

m=-12

Negative slope because Amir is descending. So:

y=-12x+b

To find b, we need to use the information that tells us that he was at sea level after 30 minutes of driving, so this can be written as the point (30,0
). Therefore, substituting this point into our equation:

y=-12x+b

0=12(30)+b

0=-360+b

b=360

Finally, the equation of Amir's altitude relative to sea level (in meters) and time (in minutes) is:

y=-12x+360.

Therefore  the equation of Amir's altitude relative to sea level (in meters) and time (in minutes) is: y=-12x+360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

160 total learners34 play soccer and rugby40 play soccer and hockey42 play hockey and rugby36 play soccer only72 play hockey8 play rugby only28 play none of these sportsx play all three sports

As "x" learners play all three sports, the Venn diagram should have three overlapping circles labelled soccer (S), rugby (R) and hockey (H).

x play all three sports:  Label the area that's in S, R and H with x.

8 play rugby only:  Label the area that is R only with 8.

36 play soccer only:  Label the area that is S only with 36.

28 play none of these sports:  Place 28 outside the three circles.

34 play soccer and rugby:  Place "34 - x" in the area that's in S and R.

40 play soccer and hockey:  Place "40 - x" in the area that's in S and H.

42 play hockey and rugby:  Place "42 - x" in the area that's in H and R.

72 play hockey

72 is the total for all the sections of H.

⇒ H = 72 - x - (40 - x) - (42 - x)

⇒ H = 72 - x - 40 + x - 42 + x

⇒ H = x - 10

Place "x - 10" in the area that is H only.

The total number of learners is 160.

Therefore, to find x, sum the areas of the Venn diagram and equal to 160:

⇒ 36 + 8 + 28 + 34 - x + x + 40 - x + 42 - x + x - 10 = 160

⇒ 36 + 8 + 28 + 34 + 40 + 42 - 10 - x + x - x - x + x = 160

⇒ 178 - x = 160

⇒ x = 178 - 160

⇒ x = 18

Finally, substitute x = 18 into the Venn diagram.

Answers

the total distance covered by the bus is 41.67 km in 50 minutes.

For first 25 minutes:

Speed of the bus = 40 km / hr.

Time = 25 minutes

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 40 km / hr. × 25 / 60 hr.

Distance = 16.67 km

For the next 25 minutes:

Speed of the bus = 60 km / hr.

Time = 25 minutes

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 60 km / hr. × 25 / 60 hr.

Distance = 25 km

Total distance covered = 16.67 km + 25 km

Total distance covered = 41.67 km.

Therefore, we get that, the total distance covered by the bus is 41.67 km in 50 minutes.

3.1.2 List any two fixed debits and any two flexible debits for the month
3.1.3 Look at the balance column to work out the value of A, the opening balance before her salary was paid in

Answers

3.1.1

Answer:

Debits and credits are used to monitor incoming and outgoing money in your business account. In a simple system, a debit is money going out of the account, whereas a credit is money coming in. However, most businesses use a double-entry system for accounting. This can confuse inexperienced business owners, who see the same funds used as a credit in one area but a debit in the other.

Double-Entry Accounting

When you look at your business finances, there are two sides to every transaction. This means that the rent is one account with a balance due and the business checking is another account that pays the balance due. So the same money is flowing but is accounting for two items. The double-entry system creates a chart of accounts. These include items such as rent, vendors, utilities, payroll, and loans.

3.1.2

Fixed Debit or Fixed debt:

A fixed debt or installment loan is generally one in which a borrower makes regular payments, where the debt has a beginning date, an end date, a fixed interest rate, and a fixed monthly fee (most installment loans are paid monthly). In other words, they adhere to a set amortization schedule. The interest on these type of loans are generally not tax deductible like mortgage loans and therefore are considered consumer debt. While many fixed-rate mortgages are fixed debts we have separated them since fixed debts outside of mortgages are considered consumer debt.

Types of fixed debts:

Automobile loansLoans on Recreation Vehicles, Boats, Motorcycles, etc.Furniture loans (if set payment, not on a credit card)Appliance loansDebt Consolidation loansStudent Loans

Flexible Debit Card :

The flexible Debit card is highly favorable and the most popular transaction account. With the Flexi Debit card linked to several Postbank Savings and Investment Products, the Flexi Debit card offers you Transactional flexibility and freedom.
