Solve the following quadratic by factoring.
x² – 3x – 4=0
List the answers separated by a comma. For example, if you found solutions x = 1 and x = 2, you would enter 1, 2.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reverse the FOIL (First, outside, inside, last) method to break down the equation. The question is asking to solve by factoring so you want to find the right combination of numbers this equation can be broken down into:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Because we want x squared, x needs to be multiplied by itself, so we can put x in the first slot for each.

(x + or - ?) ( x + or - ?) = 0

Then we need to find numbers that could be added to get -3 and multiplied to get -4. The only set of numbers that works for this is -4 and 1. Note that the sign you put in front of each number has an impact on your answers. With this we get:

(x - 4) (x + 1) = 0

To test that this is equal to the original equation, simply multiply it out using FOIL.

x * x = x^2

x * 1 = x

x * -4 = -4x

-4 * 1 = -4

Putting each component into an equation:

x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = 0

Simplifying:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Once we are sure it is still the same equation, we find the solutions. We know 0 multiplied by anything equals 0, so to get 0 as the answer, one of the sets in the parentheses must equal 0. (It doesn't matter what the other one is as long is one equals 0)

Therefore, we have 2 solutions, 4, and -1 because if x is 4, 4-4 is 0 which solves the equation, and if x is -1, then -1 + 1 is 0 which also solves the equation.

You can also check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.

4x+2y=5 , 2x-3y=13 pair of equations to two decimal places of accuracy. ​

Answers

Answer:

x = 2.56, y = -2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

I first multiplied the second equation by two, getting

4x-6y = 26

I then subtracted the equations

 4x+2y = 5

- 4x-6y = 26

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

      8y = -21

y = -2.63

with y solved, I plugged it into the second equation to get x:

2x-3(-2.63) = 13

2x+ 7.89 = 13

2x = 5.11

x = 2.56

Where are the minimum and maximum values for f(x) = -2 + 4 cos x on the interval (0,21]?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value is when cos x = 1

So it is -2 + 4(1) = 2.

Minimum value, when  cos x = -1:

= -2  + 4(-1) = -6.

Answer:

The maximum 2 is reached when x=2pi,4pi, and 6pi.

The minimum -6 is reached when x=pi, 3pi,and 5pi.

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's first look at cos(x) on interval (0,21].

How many rotations is that? Does it at least contain 1 full rotation? If it contains one full rotation that means all the values from -1 to 1 (inclusive) are tagged? If it doesn't contain a full rotation, we might have to dig a little deeper.

So we know x=0 isn't included and that's when cosine is first 1,but this doesn't mean 1 won't be hit later.

Let's figure out the number of rotations:

21/(2pi)=3.3 approximately

This means we make at least 3 rotations.

So this means we definitely will have all the values from -1 to 1 tagged (inclusive).

Now let's look at whole function.

f(x) = -2 + 4 cos x

-2+(-4) to -2+4 will be the range of the function

So the minimum is -6 and the maximum is 2.

So the min occurs when cos(x)=-1 and the max occurs when cos(x)=1.

We have a little over three rotations and remember we can't include x=0.

cos(x)=1

when x=2pi (one full rotation)

when x=4pi (two full rotations)

when x=6pi (three full rotations)

We will stop here because cosine won't be 1 again until a fourth full rotation

cos(x)=-1

when x=pi (half rotation)

When x=3pi (one + half rotation)

When x=5pi (two+half rotation)

We can't include x=7pi (three+half rotation)

because this one is actually not in the interval because 3.5 is more than 3.3 .

The maximum 2 is reached when x=2pi,4pi, and 6pi.

The minimum -6 is reached when x=pi, 3pi,and 5pi.

The output of the first one is 21 and you need to find x to the power of 2 subtract 4. So to find where we started add 4 to 21. This gets you to 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. So for the first one X=5

Work showed:

Y=x^2-4
21=x^2-4
Add 4 to both sides
25=x^2
Find the square root of 25 to get X as 5

For the second output (y), plug 21 for x

Y=4x+6
Y=4(21)+6
Y=84+6
Y=90

First part: X=5
Second part: Y=90

explainations for d and e below.

Step-by-step explanation:

mean:

(85+80+96+72+78+85+92)/7 = 544/7 = 84

median:

sort them in order from least to greatest first

72, 78, 80, 85, 85, 92, 96

find the middle number in that order, that's your median. in this case, it's 85.

mode:

number that appears the most in the order; the frequency. in this case as well, it's also 85.

answer for d:

the reason why the mean is lower than the median is because of the fact we were figuring out the average and had to divide, unlike the median where it's just the middle of the order we have.

answer for e:

(85+80+96+72+78+85+92+100)/8 = 644/8 = 80.5%

1. For event A:

Outcomes of alternating tail and head = THH HTH HTT THT

                                          = 4 outcomes

Pr(alternating tail and head (with either coming first)) = [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

                                               = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2. For event B:

Outcomes of no tails on the first two tosses = HHT HHH

                                                   = 2 outcomes

Pr (No tails on the first two tosses) = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]

                                            = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

For event C:

Outcomes of a tail on both the first and the last tosses = THT TTT

                                                       = 2 outcomes

Pr(A tail on both the first and last tosses) = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]

                                                = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

a swimming pool is 130 feet long and the length is 3 times the width plus 10 feet. Let x be the width of the pool. how wide is the pool?

Answers

Answer:Perimeter of a rectangle is 2*the length plus 2*the width

P = 2L + 2W and P = 130, so

L + W = 65

Three times the length is equal to 10 times the width, giving

3L = 10W

Substituting into the above for L = 65 – W,

3(65 – W) = 10W

195 – 3W = 10W

195 = 13W

W = 195/13 = 15

W = 15 yards,

And L = (10/3)W = (10/3)*15 = 50

L = 50 yards

18 is 65% of what number

Answers

Answer:

65% of 27.69 is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = Number x 100

Percent = 18 x 100

65 = 27.69

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula

Step 1: If 65% of a number is 18, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

18

65% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

65Y = 18 x 100

65Y = 1800

Y = 1800

100 = 27.69

I can use proportions to solve this problem. Firstly, we need to set up our first proportion. That will be 18/x. Then, our next proportion can be 65/100. We can then cross multiply 18*100 to give us 1800. Next, we divide by 65. This gives us 27.69. 65 percent of 27.69 is 18.

Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full. After he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full. How many gallons can abdul's tank hold

Answers

Answer:

Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full, and after he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full, to determine how many gallons can Abdul's tank hold the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.3333

7/9 = 0.7777

0.777 - 0.333 = 0.444

0.444 = 12

1 = X

12 / 0.444 = X

27 = X

Therefore, Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

A rectangle’s perimeter is equal to 27 plus its width. The length of the rectangle is four times its width. What is the width of the rectangle in units?

Answers

Answer:

width: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a length l and a width w, we can say that the perimeter is equal to

2 * l + 2 * w. Then, we also know that the perimeter is 27 plus its width, so

2 * l + 2 * w = 27 + w

and the length is 4 times its width, so length = 4 * width = l = 4 * w

We therefore have the two equations

2 * l + 2 * w = 27 + w

l = 4 * w

What we can do is plug 4* w for l in the first equation and solve from there. We thus have

2 * ( 4 * w) + 2 * w = 27 + w

8 * w + 2 * w = 27 + w

10 * w = 27 + w

subtract w from both sides to isolate the w and its coefficient

9 * w = 27

divide both sides by 9 to isolate w

w = 3

l = 4 * w = 12

Therefore, the width is 3 and the length is 12
