Using the quadratic formula to solve 5x = 6x2 – 3, what are the values of x?

1 answer:

4 0

Your x values are 1.24 and -0.404.
First you need to make the equation equal 0, and you can do this simply by subtracting 5x, so you get
6x² - 3 - 5x = 0
The quadratic formula is (-b +- √b² - 4ac)/2a, where a is the x², b is the x, and c is the value. This means we can just substitute it in.
You find the value of the part inside the square root, which is -5² - 4 × 6 × -3 = 97. Now we can use this to substitute in to (5 +- √97)/12. We can do it with the plus sign, and get 1.24, and then with the subtract sign and get -0.404.

I hope this helps!

Which pairs of rectangles are similar polygons? Select each correct answer.

oee [108]

The corrects answers are B and D for this one.

Since you divide the same side for both the the rectangles on both parts and if the division statements are equaled, then they are similar.

For example;

Answer B.
50 / 10 = 5
and
30 / 6 = 5

Answer D.
7.5 / 2.5 = 3
and
4.5 / 1.5 = 3

Since they both equal the same for both of the rectangles for the answers individually, they are similar polygon rectangles.

Hope this helps!

Simplify square root of (1-sin theta)(1+sin theta)

Vinil7 [7]

Recall the important identities:

i) $(a-b)(a+b)= a^{2}- b^{2}$ , the difference of squares formula.

ii) $sin^{2} x+cos^{2}x=1$ , for any angle x.

Then,

from i)

$\sqrt{(1-sin(theta))(1+sin(theta))}= \sqrt{1- sin^{2}(theta) }$

then, from ii), we have

$\sqrt{1- sin^{2}(theta) }= \sqrt{cos^{2}(theta) }=cos(theta)$

Answer: cos(theta)
