Complete the steps for solving 7 = –2x2 + 10x. Factor out of the variable terms. inside the parentheses and on the left side of

Mamont248 [21]

we have

$7=-2x^{2} +10x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$7=-2(x^{2} -5x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$7-12.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

$-5.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Divide both sides by $-2$

$2.75=(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2.75=(x-2.5)^{2}$

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

$x-2.5=(+/-)\sqrt{2.75}$

Remember that

$\sqrt{2.75}=\sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}= \frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x-2.5=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$

the answer is

The solutions are

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$

PQ= 2x +1 and QR= 5x - 44; find PQ

Lena [83]

2x+1=5x-44 that would be your equation

next start to simplify

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15

Please help me. The original blueprint of the Moreno’s’ living room has a scale of 2 inches= 5 feet. The family wants to use a n

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Part a) The scale of the new blueprint is $\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}$

Part b) The width of the living room in the new blueprint is $9.4\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the original blueprint is

$\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}$

and

the width of the living room on the original blueprint is 6 inches

Find the actual width of the living room, using proportion

$\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*6/2\\ \\x=15\ ft$

Find the actual length of the living room, using proportion

$\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{9.6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*9.6/2\\ \\x=24\ ft$

Find the scale of the new blueprint, divide the length of the living room on the new blueprint by the actual length of the living room

$\frac{15}{24} \frac{in}{ft}$

simplify

$\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}$

Find the width of the living room in the new blueprint, using proportion

$\frac{5}{8}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{15}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=15*5/8\\ \\x=9.4\ in$

Recunoasteti triunghiurile isoscele din figurile de mai jos:

yarga [219]

Answer:

<h2>The right side triangle is isosceles and equilateral.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to draw isosceles triangles with $AB=AC$ . The triangle is attached.

Also, we have to identify which triangle is isosceles based on the image. The triangle on the left is isosceles and equilateral. Remember that a isosceles triangle is defined by the congruence between at least two sides, in this case, we have three congruent sides, which makes the triangle isosceles and equilateral.

The triangle on the right side is not isosceles, it's just a right triangle. When a right triangle is also isosceles, its acute angles are 45°, which is not the case here.
