Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number  

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

a^2 - 3a = 28

a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28

\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

Answer:

Perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lee measures around the entire outside of the bulletin board and finds the distance is 32 units.

She is measuring the border of her bulletin board.

The sum of outer covering of any object is called its perimeter. Here, 32 unit shows the perimeter of the bulletin board.

Approximate the area under the curve y = x² from x = 2 to x = 5 using a Right Endpoint approximation with 6 subdivisions.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

\text{Area}\,=36.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Using right estimation point simply means to form a bunch of rectangles between the two limits, x =2 and x = 5. and add the areas of all those rectangles.

There must be 6 subdivisions between 2 and 5. so, to do that:

\Delta{x}=\dfrac{5-2}{6}=0.5

the length of each subdivision is 0.5 units. That also means that the 6 rectangles in between the limits will each have the base length of 0.5 units.

So the endpoints of each subdivision from 3 to 5 will be:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}3&3.5&4&4.5&5\\\end{tabular}

By <em>right </em>endpoint approx<em>, </em>we mean that the height of the rectangles will be determined by the right endpoint of each subdivision, that is, it must be equal to the function value of the first limit.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}subdivision&$x$&height($y=x^2$)&3 to 3.5&3.5&12.25&3.5 to 4&4&16&4 to 4.5&4.5&20.25&4.5 to 5&5&25\end

Note that we have used the right-end-point of the subdivision to determine the height the rectangles.

All that's left to do now is to simply calculate the areas of the each of the rectangles. And add them up.

the base of each of the rectangle is \Delta{x}=0.5

and the height is determined in the table above.

\text{Area}\,=(0.5\times12.25)+(0.5\times16)+(0.5\times20.25)+(0.5\times25)

\text{Area}\,=0.5(12.25+16+20.25+25)

\text{Area}\,=36.75
