What are the solutions?
It's the third option.
Completing the square yields
x ² + 9x + 7 = 0
(x ² + 9x + 81/4) + 7 = 81/4
(x + 9/2)² + 7 = 81/4
Now solving for x gives
(x + 9/2)² = 53/4
x + 9/2 = ± √(53/4) = ± √53/2
x = (-9 ± √53)/2
The height of a triangle is 4 yards greater than the base. The area of the triangle is 70 square yards. Find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
base: 10 yardsheight: 14 yardsStep-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the length of the base. Then (b+4) is the height and the area of the triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
70 = 1/2(b)(b+4)
b² +4b -140 = 0 . . . . . multiply by 2, put in standard form
(b +14)(b -10) = 0 . . . . factor
b = 10 . . . . the positive solution
The base of the triangle is 10 yards; the height is 14 yards.
A restaurant operator in Accra has found out that during the lockdown,if she sells a plate of her food for Ghc 20 each,she can sell 300 plates but for each Ghc5 she raises the price,10 less plates are sold. A.Draw a table relating 5 different price levels with their corresponding number of plates sold.
B.Use the table to find the slope of the demand
C.Find the equation of the demand fraction.
D.Use your equation to determine the price in Ghc if she sells one plate of food to maximize her revenue
The demand equation illustrates the price of an item and how it relates to the demand of the item.
The slope of the demand function is -1/2The equation of the demand function is: [tex]R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)[/tex]The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85From the question, we have:
[tex]Plates = 300[/tex]
[tex]Price = 20[/tex]
The number of plates (x) decreases by 10, while the price (y) increases by 5. The table of value is:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {300} & {290} & {280} & {270} & {260} \ \\ y & {20} & {25} & {30} & {35} & {40} \ \end{array}[/tex]
The slope (m) is calculated using:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{25-20}{290-300}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{5}{-10}[/tex]
[tex]m = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The equation of the demand is as follows:
The initial number of plates (300) decreases by 10 is represented as: (300 - 10x).
Similarly, the initial price (20) increases by 5 is represented as: (20 + 5x).
So, the demand equation is:
[tex]R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)[/tex]
Open the brackets to calculate the maximum revenue
[tex]R(x) =6000 + 1500x - 200x - 50x^2[/tex]
[tex]R(x) =6000 + 1300x - 50x^2[/tex]
Equate to 0
[tex]6000 + 1300x - 50x^2 =0[/tex]
Differentiate with respect to x
[tex]1300 - 100x =0[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]100x =1300[/tex]
Divide by 100
[tex]x =13[/tex]
So, the price at maximum revenue is:
[tex]Price= 20 + 5x[/tex]
[tex]Price= 20 + 5 * 13[/tex]
[tex]Price= 85[/tex]
In conclusion:
The slope of the demand function is -1/2The equation of the demand function is: [tex]R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)[/tex]The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85Read more about demand equations at:

Answer the following. The scale on a map is 1:100000. Therefore 1cm on the map would equal how many kilometres on the ground?
Answer: 10 km
Step-by-step explanation:
1cm is equal to 10km on ground.
What is map scale?The ratio between a distance on a map and its actual distance on the ground is known as the map's scale. Since scale must vary across a map due to the curvature of the Earth's surface, this straightforward idea is made more difficult. This change makes the idea of scale significant in two different ways.
Given
A scale of 1:1,000,000 means that anything on the map that is 1 ‘unit’ in length represents something that is one million ‘units’ in length.
So two points 1 cm apart on the map will be one million centimetres apart in real life. Divide a million by 100 if you prefer the distance in metres. And divide that figure by 1,000 if you want it in kilometres.
1,000,000/100*1000 = 10km

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $312. This is a 35% discount from the original price.
What is the original price?
Answer:
$480
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original price be x
{Original price - discount amount = sale price}
So, x - (x * 35/100) = 312
x - 35x/100 = 312
100x - 35x / 100 = 312
65x/100 = 312
65x = 31200
x = 31200/65
x = $480
So I think the original price of desk was $480
The original price of the desk is $480.
What is discount?A discount is the reduction of either the monetary amount or a percentage of the normal selling price of a product or service.
Given that, a desk is being sold for $312.
Let the original price of the desk be x.
Here, x-35% of x =312
x- 35/100 ×x=312
x-0.35x=312
0.65x=312
x=312/0.65
x=480
Therefore, the original price of the desk is $480.

Step-by-step explanation: x=-2, y=3, z=-3
Answer:
A. -2, 3, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 7 - 2y + z
y = 21 + 6x + 2z = 21 + 6×(7 - 2y + z) + 2z =
= 21 + 42 - 12y + 6z + 2z = 63 - 12y + 8z
13y = 63 + 8z
y = (63 + 8z)/13
2x + 2y - 3z = 11
2×(7 - 2y + z) + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
2×(7 - 2×(63 + 8z)/13 + z) + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
14 - 4×(63 + 8z)/13 + 2z + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
-2×(63 + 8z)/13 - z = -3
-2×(63 + 8z) - 13z = -39
-126 - 16z - 13z = -39
-29z = 87
z = -3
y = (63 + 8×-3)/13 = (63 - 24)/13 = 39/13 = 3
x = 7 - 2×3 + -3 = 7 - 6 - 3 = -2

QUESTION 2
A board is 86 cm. in lenght and must be cut so that one piece is 20 cm. longer than the other piece
Find the lenght of each piece.
A26 cm and 60 cm
b. 33 cm and 53 cm
C 30 cm and 56 cm
d. 70 cm and 16 cm
One piece will be length x and the other piece will be 20 cm longer, so it will be x + 20 cm long.
Added together the length of these two boards will equal 86 cm. So you can write an equation:
x + (x + 20) = 86
Remove the parentheses and add the two x's together to get:
2x + 20 = 86
Subtract 20 from both sides:
2x = 66
Divide both sides by 2 and you have:
x = 33
The short piece is 33 cm and the other piece is 20 cm longer or 33 + 20 = 53 cm.

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. That tree can be seen when one walks 14 bu from the south gate, turns west and walks 1775 bu. Find the length of each side of the city.
Answer:
The length of each side of the city is 250b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]a = 20[/tex] --- tree distance from north gate
[tex]b =14[/tex] --- movement from south gate
[tex]c = 1775[/tex] --- movement in west direction from (b)
See attachment for illustration
Required
Find x
To do this, we have:
[tex]\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB[/tex] --- similar triangles
So, we have the following equivalent ratios
[tex]AE:DE = AB:CB[/tex]
Where:
[tex]AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775[/tex]
Substitute these in the above equation
[tex]20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775[/tex]
[tex]20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]x^2 + 34x = 71000[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0[/tex]
Expand
[tex]x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0[/tex]
Factor out x + 284
[tex](x - 250)(x + 284)= 0[/tex]
Split
[tex]x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284[/tex]
x can't be negative;
So:
[tex]x = 250[/tex]

The perimeter of a triangle is the summation of the three sides of the triangle. Base on the assumed values, the length of side BD is 2.
For [tex]\triangle ACD[/tex], the sides are: AC, AD and CD
So, the perimeter is:
[tex]P_{\triangle ACD} = AC + AD + CD[/tex]
For [tex]\triangle ABD[/tex], the sides are: AB, AD and BD
So, the perimeter is:
[tex]P_{\triangle ABD} = AB + AD + BD[/tex]
The difference in the perimeters is:
[tex]P_{\triangle ACD} - P_{\triangle ABD} =1 + \sqrt 3[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](AC + AD + CD) - ( AB + AD + BD) =1 + \sqrt 3[/tex]
Open brackets
[tex]AC + AD + CD - AB - AD - BD =1 + \sqrt 3[/tex]
Evaluate like terms
[tex]AC + CD - AB - BD =1 + \sqrt 3[/tex]
Make BD the subject
[tex]BD = AC + CD - AB - (1 + \sqrt 3)[/tex]
The solution cannot be completed because the side lengths of [tex]\triangle ACD[/tex] and [tex]\triangle ABD[/tex] are not given; so, I will assume the following values.
[tex]AC =2; CD = 1; AB = \sqrt 3[/tex]
[tex]BD = AC + CD - AB - (1 + \sqrt 3)[/tex] becomes
[tex]BD = 2 + 1 + \sqrt 3 - (1 + \sqrt 3)[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]BD = 2 + 1 + \sqrt 3 - 1 - \sqrt 3[/tex]
Evaluate like terms
[tex]BD = 2[/tex]
Base on the assumed values, the length of side BD is 2.

What are all possible integer solutions for b & p in the equation?
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
7+sqrt(7) is an irrational number
Answer:
p = 8 when b = 16 and p = -8 when
b = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + bx + 64 = x² + 2px + p²
Cancel x² on both sides,
bx + 64 = 2px + p²
Now, by comparing both sides, you'll get the following equations,
1. b = 2p
2. p² = 64
From equation (2),
p = ±√64
= 8 or -8
Substitute p = 8 and p = -8 into equation (1),
b = 2(8) and b = 2(-8)
b = 2(8) and b = 2(-8) = 16 = -16
Therefore, p = 8 when b = 16 and p = -8 when
b = -16

between the initial line and the terminal line EF at a given distance DG =
AE from the angle vertex
The step where the error occur is in step 4. by opening the compass
between points A and E which are points on the same line and placing the
compass at point G on line l to draw an arc intersecting the arc created
from point D at H, thereby making the radial distance between the two lines
