Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$

A 20-inch diameter bicycle tire rotates 200 times.

fenix001 [56]

Answer: B)1,047 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the circumference of the tire:

Circumference(C): π x diameter

C = π (20) = 62.83 inches.

Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

62.83 ÷ 12 = 5.23 feet

Finally we have to multiply the result by 200:

5.23 x 200 = 1,047 feet

Solve the equation. Negative StartFraction 9 Over 15 EndFraction y + StartFraction 3 Over 21 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 Over

mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9/15y + 3/21 = 5/15 y - 14/21. Adding 14/21 to both sides we then get 9/15y + 17/21 = 5/15y. Subtracting 5/15y from both sides, we get 4/15y + 17/21 = 0.

Then we get 4/15y = -17/21. Dividing by 4/15 gets us -17/21 * 4/15 = -68/315 = y.
