Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. –x2 + 7x = 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The solutions are:

[tex]x=\frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{2},\:x=\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation

-x² + 7x = 8

Solving using the quadratic formula

[tex]-x^2+7x=8[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides

[tex]-x^2+7x-8=8-8[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]-x^2+7x-8=0[/tex]

For a quadratic function of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, the solutions are:

[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

For a = -1, b = 7, c = -8

[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-8\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \:\sqrt{49-32}}{2\left(-1\right)}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{17}}{2\left(-1\right)}[/tex]

Separate the solutions

[tex]x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2\left(-1\right)},\:x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2\left(-1\right)}v[/tex]

solving

[tex]x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2\left(-1\right)}[/tex]

   [tex]=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{-2}[/tex]

Apply the fraction rule:  [tex]\frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]-7+\sqrt{17}=-\left(7-\sqrt{17}\right)[/tex]

so

     [tex]=\frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex]

Similarly solving

[tex]x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2\left(-1\right)}[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{-2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

Apply the fraction rule:  [tex]\frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]-7-\sqrt{17}=-\left(7+ \sqrt{17}\right)[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions are:

[tex]x=\frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{2},\:x=\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex]

chicken tenders or chicken nuggets

Answers

Answer:

i dont know which one to choose but chicken tenders

Answer:

Chicken tenders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chicken nuggets are the gross consumption of organs including lungs and others mushed together and fried. In return kids run to it because (most) kids only eat gross stuff. This made the marketing campaign SKY ROCKET with kids everywhere trying to get a bite. FORCING their poor parents to get them that disgusting mush. And then dip it in ketchup. Which is NOT a fruit or veggie. (As the school system thinks they are a veggie.)

While chicken tenders are chopped off the chicken meat then rolled in bread crumbs. And then deep fried to make a crispy exterior with a delicious tender interior.  Without getting mushed together with other things.

Also you never know what they put in that chicken nugget since its mushed together ‍♀️.

Solve for the roots in simplest form using the quadratic formula:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the quadratic formula, we need the equation in standard form. Adding 10x gives ...

  x^2 +10x +61 = 0

Then a=1, b=10, c=61, and the solutions are ...

  [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{10^2-4(1)(61)}}{2(1)}\\\\=\dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{-144}}{2}=\dfrac{-10\pm12i}{2}\\\\ \boxed{x=\{-5-6i,-6+6i\}}[/tex]

Larissa dives into a pool that is 8 feet deep. She touches the bottom of the pool with her hands 6 feet horizontally from the point at which she entered the water. What is the approximate angle of elevation from the point on the bottom of the pool where she touched to her entry point? 36.9° 41.4° 48.6° 53.1

Answers

The approximate angle of elevation from the point on the bottom is; D: 53.1°

What is the angle of elevation?

We are told she dived into a pool that is 8 ft deep.

Now, she could touch the bottom with her hands 6 ft horizontally. Thus;

We  can use trigonometric ratio to determine  the approximate angle of elevation from the point on the bottom of the pool where she touched to her entry point.

If the angle of elevation is θ, then we have;

θ = tan⁻¹(8/6)

θ = 53.1°

M is the midpoint solve for x

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 9 = 24

5x = 24 - 9

5x = 15

x = 3

Check:

5(3) + 9 = 24

SM = 24,    MT = 24 ✔️

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is the midpoint between points S and T, then both sides; SM and ST are equal. This means that 5x + 9 has to equal 24.

5x + 9= 24

5x +9 - 9= 24 - 9

5x= 15

5x / 5 = 15 / 5

x = 3

Jeff traveled at an average speed of 65 miles per hour for 2.5 hours and then traveled at an average speed of 70 miles per hour for 1.5 hours. What was the total distance in miles that Jeff traveled during this time?

Answers

Answer:

267.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the formula for speed:

speed = distance/time

Now we solve it for distance:

distance = speed * time

65 mph for 2.5 hours + 70 mph for 1.5 hours

distance = 65 * 2.5 + 70 * 1.5

distance = 162.5 + 105

distance = 267.5

Answer: 267.5 miles

Answers

Answer:

3 17/30

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this problem, we have to get the two fractions to have the same denominator

So we change 2 8/15 into 2 16/30 (multiplying both the numerator by 2, if you don't know why this works then ask me) and then we just add. So 2 16/30 + 1 1/30 = 3 17/30

The answer is 3 17/30
