Hey there, hope I can help!

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^2+5x+39\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$2x^2+3x-7-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)=x^2+5x+39-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)$

Assuming you know how to simplify this, I will not show the steps but can add them later on upon request
$x^2-2x-46=0$

Lets use the quadratic formula now
$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$
$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:} a=1,\:b=-2,\:c=-46: x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$\frac{-\left(-2\right)+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \ \frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

Multiply the numbers 2 * 1 = 2
$\frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}$

$2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2+1\cdot \:4\cdot \:46} \ \textgreater \ \left(-2\right)^2=2^2, 2^2 = 4$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:1\cdot \:46=184 \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{4+184} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \ 2 + \sqrt{188}$
$\frac{2+\sqrt{188}}{2} \ \textgreater \ Prime\;factorize\;188 \ \textgreater \ 2^2\cdot \:47 \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{2^2\cdot \:47}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{47}\sqrt{2^2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{a^n}=a \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{2^2}=2 \ \textgreater \ 2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \ \frac{2+2\sqrt{47}}{2}$

$Factor\;2+2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \ Rewrite\;as\;1\cdot \:2+2\sqrt{47}$
$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}2 \ \textgreater \ 2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \ \frac{2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right)}{2}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1 \ \textgreater \ 1+\sqrt{47}$

Moving on, I will do the second part excluding the extra details that I had shown previously as from the first portion of the quadratic you can easily see what to do for the second part.

$\frac{-\left(-2\right)-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \ \frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$\frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}$

$2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \ 2-\sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \ \frac{2-\sqrt{188}}{2}$

$\sqrt{188} = 2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \ \frac{2-2\sqrt{47}}{2}$

$2-2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \ 2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \ \frac{2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right)}{2} \ \textgreater \ 1-\sqrt{47}$

Therefore our final solutions are
$x=1+\sqrt{47},\:x=1-\sqrt{47}$

Hope this helps!

Suppose two different methods are available for eye surgery. The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.4007

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

A: method A is used

B: method B is used

NR: the eye has not recovered in a month

R: the eye is recovered in a month

The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002 if method A is used, i.e., P(NR|A) = 0.002, so P(R|A) = 0.998.

When method B is used, the probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.005, i.e., P(NR|B) = 0.005, so P(R|B) = 0.995.

40% of eye surgeries are done with method A, i.e., P(A) = 0.4

60% of eye surgeries are done with method B, i.e., P(B) = 0.6

If an eye is recovered in a month after surgery is done in the hospital, what is the probability that method A was performed? We are looking for P(A|R), then, by Bayes' Formula

P(A|R) = P(R|A)P(A)/(P(R|A)P(A) + P(R|B)P(B)) = 0.998*0.4/(0.998*0.4 + 0.995*0.6) = 0.4007

The diameter of Circle Q terminates on the circumference of the circle at (0,3) and (0,-4). Write the equation of the circle in

Gnesinka [82]

First, determine the center of the circle by getting the midpoint of the points given for the circumference.
midpoint = ((0 + 0)/2, (3 + -4)/2)
midpoint (0, -0.5)
Then, we get the radius by determining the distance from either of the circumferential point to the center.
radius = √(0 - 0)² + (3 +4)² = 7
The equation for the circle would be,
x² + (y + 0.5)² = 7²

According to the rule of 72, if Arielle invests $100, $200, and $2000 into three separate accounts with the same interest rate,

krok68 [10]

The rule of 72 is an approximate estimate of the time it takes to double an investment, and depends only on the interest rate. So amount of deposit does not change the estimate. All three accounts will take the same time to double.

If the accounts are all deposited on the same day with the same interest rate and same compounding period, they all double at the same time, whether using the rule of 72 or the actual time.

Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle

Nina [5.8K]

The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as $x$ .
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
$cos(59)= \frac{19}{h}$
$h= \frac{19}{cos(59)}$
$h=36.9$
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance $x$ between Paul and Jose:
$\frac{sin(43)}{36.9} = \frac{sin(16)}{x}$
$x= \frac{36.9sin(16)}{sin(43)}$
$x=14.9$

Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
$19m+14.9=33.9m$

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.
