solve for x
6x²+2x-12​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:

[tex]2(3x^2+x-6)[/tex] and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:

1, 18

2, 9

3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:

[tex]x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{2^2-4(6)(-12)} }{2(6)}[/tex] and

[tex]x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4+288} }{12}[/tex] and

[tex]x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{292} }{12}[/tex] and

[tex]x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4*73} }{12}[/tex] and

[tex]x=\frac{-2+/-2\sqrt{73} }{12}[/tex] which finally simplifies to

[tex]x=\frac{-1+/-\sqrt{73} }{6}[/tex] No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!

Answer:

42 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find attached an image showing the diagram

area of shaded part = area of larger rectangle - area of smaller rectangle

Area of a rectangle = length x width

larger rectangle = 10 x 7 = 70 cm^2

smaller rectangle = 7 x 4 = 28cm^2

Find the middle point, M, of ab

Answers

Distance from A to B = B-A = 18-0 = 18

M is the midpoint which means it is equal distance between A and B

M = distance between A and B divided by 2:

M = 18/2 = 9

Answer: M = 9

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If m is a midpoint of AB

then

M = 1/2AB

If AB = 18

Then M = 1/2 of 18

18/2 = 9

Hence M = 9

Vince's birthday party is going to be at his favorite science museum next weekend. He has 8 friends who want to see the Dinosaur Discovery show and 4 friends who want to see the Wild Weather show. Typically, the Dinosaur Discovery show costs d dollars per ticket, and the Wild Weather show costs w dollars per ticket. But next weekend, all tickets are half price! Pick all the expressions that represent the total cost of his friends' tickets.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinosaur Discovery show = 8 friends

Wild Weather show = 4 friends

Cost of Dinosaur Discovery show = $d

Cost of Wild Weather show = $w

At regular price:

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 8 * d + 4 * w

= 8d + 4w

At half price

Total cost of his friends' tickets =

8 * 1/2d + 4 * 1/2w

= 8/2d + 4/2w

= 4d + 2w

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 4d + 2w

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they charged a total of $1025. What was the rate per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $105 per hour?

Answers

Answer:

The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $115 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $120 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours

y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours

Then

x + y = 235

5x + 15y = 2375

Just solve these 2 equations above for x and y.

x + y = 235 ⇒ x = 235 - y

Substitute into second equation to find y.

5(235 - y) + 15y = 2375

1175 - 5y + 15y = 2375

10y = 1200

y = 1200/10 = 120

x = 235 - y = 235 - 120 = 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve:

[tex]4−2(2x−3)−(2x−4)=−2(x+3) \\ [/tex]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex]4−2(2x−3)−(2x−4)=−2(x+3) \\ 4−2(2x−3)+−1(2x−4)=−2(x+3) \\ (Distribute the Negative Sign)

\\ 4+−2(2x−3)+−1(2x)+(−1)(−4)=−2(x+3) \\

4+−2(2x−3)+−2x+4=−2(x+3)

4+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(−3)+−2x+4=(−2)(x)+(−2)(3) \\ (Distribute) \\

4+−4x+6+−2x+4=−2x+−6 \\(−4x+−2x)+(4+6+4)=−2x−6(Combine Like Terms) \\ −6x+14=−2x−6

\\ −6x+14=−2x−6[/tex]

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

[tex]−6x+14+2x=−2x−6+2x \\ −4x+14=−6[/tex]

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

[tex]−4x+14−14=−6−14 \\ −4x=−20[/tex]

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

[tex] \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 20}{ - 4} \\ x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the y-intercept of this quadratic?

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept is the value at which the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. Every quadratic has a (single) y-intercept. The reason for this is that the y-intercept is the function value at x = 0, and we can always substitute x = 0 into the quadratic.

In a carnival game, players get 5 chances to throw a basketball through a hoop. If 7 out of 20 players made all 5 baskets, how many players out of 400 would you expect to make all 5 baskets?

Answers

Answer:  140

=====================================================

Work Shown:

7/20 = 0.35 = 35% of the 20 players made all five baskets.

If this trend holds up, then we should expect 35% of the 400 people to make all five baskets.

35% of 400 = 0.35*400 = 140

We expect about 140 people will make all five baskets.

Note how 140/400 = 0.35 = 35%

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

Through another alternative method, we can solve like this

7/20 = x/400

7*400 = 20*x ... cross multiply

2800 = 20x

20x = 2800

x = 2800/20 ... dividing both sides by 20

x = 140 which is the same result as before

Uncle Frank has a paddock on his farm. The paddock is a right angled isosceles triangle and has area 16m2. What is the length of fence enclosing the paddock

Answers

Answer:

8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

A = bh/2................ Equation 1

Where A = Area of the triangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.

Since the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Then,  b = h

Assuming, b = y m

Given: A = 16 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

16 = (y×y)/2

16 = y²/2

y² = 16×2

y² = 32

y = √32

y = 4√2 m

Therefore,

b =  4√2 m and h =  4√2 m

Applying pythagoras theorem, to get the length of the fence enclosing the paddock

a² = b²+c²

a² = (4√2)²+(4√2)²

a² = 32+32

a² = 64

a = √64

a = 8 m

Hence the length of the fence enclosing the paddock is 8 m

Christian goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $10.40. A sales tax of 6% was added on. Christian tipped 17% on the amount after the sales tax was added. How much tip did he leave? Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

$12.89

Step-by-step explanation:

value of tax:

6 : 100 = x : 10.40

x = (10.40 * 6)/100 = $0.624

new amount

10.40 + 0.624 = $11.02

value of tip

17 : 100 = x : 11.02

x = (11.02 * 17)/100 = $1.8734

Final amount

11.02 + 1.8734 = $12.89

On a unit circle, the terminal point of 0 is (sqrt3/2,1/2)

What is 0?

Answers

Answer:

The measure of [tex]\theta[/tex] is 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the statement, the angle has been misrepresented. The corrected statement is described below:

"On a unit circle, the terminal point of [tex]\theta[/tex] is [tex]\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right)[/tex]. What is [tex]\theta[/tex]?"

The measure of the angle ([tex]\theta[/tex]), in radians, is in standard form, that is, it is done with respect to the +x semiaxis. The measure of the angle whose terminal point is of the form [tex](x,y)[/tex] is determined by the following inverse trigonometric function:

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x} \right)[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y = \frac{1}{2}[/tex], then the measure of [tex]\theta[/tex] is:

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 30^{\circ}[/tex]
