Use the quadratic formula to solve x2 – 3x - 2 = 0.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2 , 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

2.5 or 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is [tex]x = -b +/- \frac{\sqrt{b^2 + 4ac}}{2a}[/tex] .

a, b, and c are determined by the terms in the formula ax^2 + bx + c

They gave you the equation x^2 - 3x - 2, which fits that formula. a is 1, b is -3, and c is -2. So plug those values into the equation:

[tex]x = -(-3) +/- \frac{\sqrt{(-3)^2 + 4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3 +/- \frac{\sqrt{9 -8}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3 +/- \frac{\sqrt{1}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3 +/- \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So x is 3 plus or minus -1/2. 3 plus -1/2 is 2.5

3 minus -1/2 is 3.5

So the 2 possible x values are 2.5 and 3.5.

Find the exact value of sin A in simplest radical form.

Answers

Using the sine rule,

[tex] \frac{a}{sin(a)} = \frac{b}{sin(b)} = \frac{c}{sin(c)} [/tex]

Here we are going to use the values of A and C,

[tex] \frac{12}{sin(a)} = \frac{14}{sin(90)} \\ \frac{12}{sin(a)} = \frac{14}{1} \\ sin(a) = 12 \div 14 \\ sin(a) = 0.8571[/tex]

So sin(A) = 12/14 = 6/7 = 0.8571, but since the question says in its simplest radical form, I think the closest answer to it should be

The X and Y coordinates (in feet) for station Shore are 2058.97 and 6980.06, respectively, and those for station Rock are 1408.03 and 6980.06, respectively. What are the azimuth, bearing, and length of the line connecting station Shore to station Rock

Answers

Answer:

Hence, the azimuth, bearing, and length of the line connecting station Shore to station Rock are [tex]270^{\circ},90^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]650.94[/tex] feet.

Given :

The shore station point [tex](X_1,Y_1)[/tex] in feet,

        [tex](X_1,Y_1)=(2058.97, 6980.06)[/tex]

The Rock station point [tex](X_2,Y_2)[/tex] in feet

       [tex](X_2,Y_2)=(1408.03,6980.06)[/tex]

From the figure

     [tex]x=2058.97-1408.03=650.94[/tex] feet

    [tex]y=6980.06-6980.06=0\\[/tex] feet

Length of the line [tex]L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]

                           [tex]\Rightarrow L=\sqrt{(650.94)^2+0}=650.94[/tex]

                            [tex]\Rightarrow L=650.94[/tex] feet

[tex]\because[/tex] [tex]\tan \theta=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{0}{x}=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}(0)=0[/tex]

Azimuth of line[tex]=270^{\circ}+\theta[/tex]

                       [tex]=270^{\circ}+0[/tex]

                      [tex]=270^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore[/tex] Bearing [tex]=360^{\circ}-\text{Azimuth}[/tex]

                [tex]=360^{\circ}-270^{\circ}[/tex]

                [tex]=90^{\circ}[/tex]

Based on these results, what is the probability that the next marble Simran selects, rounded to the nearest

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A41% b50% c59% d63%

The probability of white = P (w) = 41/65= 0.63

The  probability of yellow = P (y)= 24/65= 0.369=0.37

The probability of choosing white is 0.63 . When rounded to  nearest percent gives

0.63*100/100

=0.63*100 percent

= 63 percent

the probability of getting   the next marble white is the same as the probability of getting a white.

2)My fortune of $ 810 000 is to be divided in the ratio 4:3:2. How much does each person receive?
Good

Answers

Answer:

Q 1)

a) No of sheep = 480

b) 8 : 11

c) 11 : 3

Q 2)

Each person will receive: $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sheep to cattle = 8 : 3

Let the number of sheep be 8x

And number of cattle be 3x

a)

No of cattle = 180 (Given)

Therefore,

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

Therefore, 8x = 8*60 = 480

No of sheep = 480

b)

Total animals = 180 + 480 = 660

Ratio of sheep to the total number of animals

= 480 : 660

= 8 : 11

c)

Ratio of total animals to the number of cattle

= 660 : 180

= 11 : 3

Q 2) Let each person will receive 4x, 3x and 2x dollars.

Therefore,

4x + 3x + 2x = 810,000

9x = 810000

x = 810000/9

x = 90,000

Therefore,

4x = 4*90,000 = $360,000

3x = 3*90,000 = $270,000

2x = 2*90,000 = $180,000

So, each person will receive $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

equation for a parabola is:

What is parabola?

The parabola is the locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from both the directrix and the focus.

Given: focus= (3,-5), directrix at x =-7.

To find equation of parabola we will use distance formula,

√(x+7)²=√(x+3)² + (y+5)²

(x+7)²=(x+3)² + (y+5)²

x²+14x+49= x²+9+6x + (y+5)²

8x + 40 = (y+5)²

x= (y+5)²/8 -5

Hence, the equation of parabola is x= (y+5)²/8 -5

Please give brainliest thank you

[tex]\boxed{\underline{\bf \: ANSWER}}[/tex]

The quotient when 17 less than p is divided by 8.

Well, let's first take 17 less than p. That'll be :-

[tex] \sf \: p - 17[/tex]

Note :- 'p' comes first as the question has the words - less than p.

Now, we have the remaining -> 'is divided by 8'.

The equation will become :-

[tex] \sf \:( p - 17) \div 8[/tex]

Note :- We have put the bracket because they have asked the quotient. To form a quotient you need 2 numbers - a divisor & a dividend. Hence, 2 numbers -> (p - 17) & 8.

So, Option D [tex]\boxed{\underline{\bf \: (p-17)÷8}}[/tex] is the correct answer.
