what are the four different ways to solve a quadratic equation? When would you prefer to use each method?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring , using square roots , completing the square and the quadratic formular

Answer 2

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four main ways to solve a quadratic equation are:

1) Factoring, 2) Completing the Square, 3) Graphing, and 4) Quadratic Formula.

Each method has it's own pros and cons.

1) Factoring. You should factor when the given equation is easily factor-able or already factored. For instance:

[tex]0=x^2-4x-12\\0=(x+7)(x-1)[/tex]

These problems are easily factored so factoring is preferred here. However, factoring will not always work.

2) Completing the Square. You complete the square if you are able to complete the perfect square trinomial with only integers. For instance:

[tex]x^2-2x-7=0\\(x^2-2x+1)-7-1=0\\(x-2)^2-8=0[/tex]

However, you wound't use completing the square if:

[tex]x^2-3x+2=0\\(x^2-3x+9/4)+2-9/4=0[/tex]

The perfect square trinomial includes fractions so you would use alternative methods here (and factoring works here!).

Despite the complexity of completing the square, if done correctly, it works every time. However, sometimes, it can be time-consuming.

3) Graphing. Graphing (if on paper) is time-consuming. You would only use graphing when you only need an approximation. Unless directed to, you probably won't need to use graphing.

However, if you have a graphing calculator, graphing the equation can allow you to check your answer. So, graphing won't get you precise answer, but it will allow you to check your answer is necessary.

4) Quadratic Formula. Use the quadratic formula if the equation isn't factor-able and completing the square is too tedious. For instance:

[tex]4.1x^2-3x-7=0\\[/tex]

This doesn't seem factor-able and completing the square will take a while. Graphing won't get the exact answer, so the quadratic formula is the only avenue left.

The quadratic method, like completing the square, will always work.

Only con is that you need to memorize the formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

You end at (4,5)

You got there by moving right 9 units so move left 9 units

Moving left is subtraction in the x direction

help me find VW and YZ

Answers

Answer:

VW=35

YZ=50

Step-by-step explanation:

As they are similar triangles with a ratio of 1:2 and we know VW:XZ=1:2, we can make the equation:

2(4y+7)=12y-14

8y+14=12y-14

4y=28

y=7

So, VW=4(7)+7=35.

Similarly, you can find YZ through VT:

2(7x-17)=8x+2

14x-34=8x+2

6x=36

x=6

Therefore, YZ=8(6)+2=50.

VW=35
YZ=50 I believe this is the correct answer

T(d) is a function that relates the number of tickets sold for a movie to the number of days since the movie was
released. The average rate of change in Td) for the interval d = 4 and d = 10 is 0. Which statement must be true?
O The same number of tickets was sold on the fourth day and tenth day.
O No tickets were sold on the fourth day and tenth day.
O Fewer tickets were sold on the fourth day than on the tenth day.
O More tickets were sold on the fourth day than on the tenth day.

Answers

Answer: The same number of tickets was sold on the fourth day and tenth day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, T(d) is a function that relates the number of tickets sold for a movie to the number of days since the movie was  released.

The average rate of change in a function with respect to the independent variable gives the value of change in a particular period.

If average rate of change in T(d) for the interval d = 4 and d = 10 is  is 0 , that means nothing has been changed in the number of tickets sold on 4th day and 10th day after the film release.

Hence, the correct statement is "The same number of tickets was sold on the fourth day and tenth day."

The correct option is (A).The same number of tickets was sold on the fourth day and tenth day.

Given,

T(d) is a function that relates the number of tickets sold for a movie to the number of days since the movie was released.

The Average rate of change in T(d) for the interval  d = 4 and d = 10 is 0.

We have to find which statement is true.

Since the average rate of change in T(d) for the interval d = 4 and d = 10 is 0, it means nothing has been changed in the number of tickets sold on day 4 and day 10 after the film release.

Hence, the correct statement is The same number of tickets was sold on the fourth day and tenth day.

Thus The correct option is A.

5.4(m-2)= -2(3m+3) please help asap

Answers

Answer:

m = 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

5.4(m-2)= -2(3m+3)     (expand parentheses by distributive property)

m(5.4) -2(5.4) = 3m(-2) + 3(-2)

5.4m - 10.8 = -6m - 6      (add 6m to both sides)

5.4m - 10.8 + 6m =  - 6

11.4m - 10.8 =  - 6   (add 10.8 to both sides)

11.4m = -6 + 10.8

11.4m = 4.8   (divide both sides by 11.4)

m = 4.8 / 11.4

m = 0.421

Answer:

m = 8/19

Step-by-step explanation :

5.4  (m-2) = -2 (3m +3)  

54/10 (m-2) = (3m +3)   as n = 1

2.3^3 /  2.5  (m-2) = (3m + 3)

4.868 (m-2) = (3m +3)

4.868 + 3 = (3m^2 * m-2)

8 / 9.5 * 2  

m = 8 / 19

-31-4x=-5-5(1+5x) I need help i suck at math

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

−31−4x=−5−5(1+5x)

First step is to simplify both sides

−31−4x=−5−5(1+5x)

−31+−4x=−5+(−5)(1)+(−5)(5x)

distribute

−31+−4x=−5+−5+−25x

−4x−31=(−25x)+(−5+−5)

and combine like terms

−4x−31=−25x+−10

−4x−31=−25x−10

Then add 25x to both sides

−4x−31+25x=−25x−10+25x

21x−31=−10

Add 31 to both sides

21x−31+31=−10+31

21x=21

And divide by 21!

21x/21 = 21/21

x=1

Answer:

X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First this is you want to distribute the -5 to the 1 and 5x. Now you should have -31-4x=-5-5-25x. Next thing is to combine your like terms which would be -5 and -5 and you get -10. (-31-4x=-10-25x) Now add 31 to both sides and your new solution is -4x=21-25x. This time you add 25x to both sides and get 21x=21. Final step you divide both sides by 21 and get X=1. :)

b : what as your solution process

Answers

Answer:

78 inches or 174 inches (see explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter is 64 feet, that means that each side is 8 feet, since there are 8 sides (64/8=8). 8 feet is 96 inches (8*12=96). 96-18=78, so the minimum length of wood he needs for the ledges is 78 inches, assuming you're not counting the wood for the perimeter, too (in which case it would be 174 inches) (78+96=174). Hope this helps!

Part 1: Serena's drawing
Follow these steps to find the angles of the trapezoids in Serena's drawing. If the angles of her
trapezoid match the angles of the trapezoid stone, then her drawing is correct.

Answers

Answer:

BCDE= 100+ 80+100+80 = 360 degree

BAC = 20 degree

DBC = 100 degree

BDE = 80 degree

Shows all is correct

We associate isosceles trapezoid in this question, this helps us prove with angle A in the triangle vertices how we can find one of the adjacent angles from the trapezoid by subtraction when all angles within one single trapezoid = 360 degrees. We can use 20 degree angle A to subtract and find each alternative angle easier.

Step-by-step explanation:

The semi circle shows 9 stones

Where angles are interior to the trapezoid

Where all 4 sided shapes add up to 360 degree

We draw a line of symmetry on BCED angle

To make midway points BC  and DE = 90 degree

The two new formed shapes are still 4 sided and add up to 360 degree.

BC + DE = 180 degree

BDE = Triangle 180 -20/2 = 160/2 = 80

BCDE = Trapezoid = 360

Trapezoid angle DBC = 360-80-80/2 = 360-160/2 = 200/2 = 100 degree  

Finding interior angle A (BAC)

BAC = 180/9 = 20 degree

BAC * (2) = 360 degree circle

BAC = 360/18 = 20 degree

Proves BAC = 20 degree

20 degree is used in BAC workings above in bold and proves all trapezoid angles are correct. We now know this is an isosceles trapezoid and that is why symmetry and midway points can help us find the angles without any given length.

width = 10

length = 2 (10) + 7 = 27

Step 1:

If the perimeter was 74 inches, then that means one side of the width and one side of the length added together is 1/2 of 74, which is 37.

Step 2:

We can solve this by using this equation:

2w + 7 + w = 37

Then, we subtract 7 from both sides, since in the passage, it states that the length is 7 more than twice the width.

2w + w = 30

Add the w's together:

3w = 30

And then divide both sides by 3 to get:

w = 10

Step 3:

Now, we can plug in w into our equation to solve for the width and length.
