Solve the quadratic equation x2 + 3x = 40 using the quadratic formula.


A)

x = –8, x = 5

B)

x = 5, x = 8

C)

x = –5, x = 8

D)

x = –8, x = –5

Answers

Answer 1

After solving the quadratic equation x² + 3x = 40 using the quadratic formula, (A)  x = –8, x = 5  

We can solve this quadratic formula by following a few steps.

The given equation is,

x² + 3x =40

Let's subtract 40 from both sides,

x² + 3x - 40 =40 - 40

Or, x² + 3x - 40 = 0

Now, we have to find a suitable pair of factors of -40 which is capable to generate +3 ( coefficient of x ).

The required pair is 8 and -5, and ( 8 - 5 ) = 3    

[ -40 = 8 × -5 ]

Therefore, x² + 3x - 40 = 0

Or, x² + ( 8 - 5 )x - 40 = 0

Or, x² + 8x - 5x - 40 = 0

Or, x ( x + 8 ) - 5 ( x + 8 ) = 0   [ taking x and 5  as common ]

Or, ( x + 8 ) ( x - 5 ) = 0            [ taking ( x + 8 ) as common ]

If the multiplication or product of two or more terms is zero, then we can write each term as zero.

Hence we can write,

               ( x + 8 ) = 0

               Or, x = -8        ( by subtracting 8 from both sides )

Again we can write,

              ( x - 5 ) = 0

              Or, x = 5           ( by adding +5 with both sides )

Now, we can conclude that x = -8 and 5.

1. Compare two spheres. The first has a diameter of 4 inches.
The second sphere has a diameter of 428 inches.
Determine the ratio of the volume of the large sphere to the volume
of the small sphere.
Ratio =

Answers

Answer:

  1,225,043

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the ratio of volumes of spheres 428 inches and 4 inches in diameter.

Volume

The volume of a sphere in terms of its diameter is ...

  V = (π/6)d³

The ratio of the volumes of the larger to smaller sphere is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{V_{large}}{V_{small}}=\dfrac{\pi/6\cdot428^3}{\pi/6\cdot4^3}=\left(\dfrac{428}{4}\right)^3=107^3=\boxed{1,\!225,\!043}[/tex]

The ratio of volumes is 1,225,043.

The ratio of the volume of the large sphere to the volume of the small sphere is 1225043:1

The following is the formula for finding the volume of a sphere:

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Now, the normal assumption is that we must use the formula to calculate the volume of both spheres in order to compare. However, observe that in comparing the volume of two different spheres, the only difference between them is the radius, thus we can compare the two spheres directly in this way:

[tex]\frac{(radius of sphere B)^3 }{(radius of sphere A)^3}[/tex]

So,

[tex](\frac{428}{4})^3[/tex]

stand sold 500 items.

Let us formulate a equation by given data

5+4x=500

Let us separate the variable x on one side.

Subtract 5 on both sides

5+4x-5=500-5

Answers

The total cost of the skateboard after being discounted by 12% and then sales tax of 6.75% is$74.22.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a given amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator percentage is represented by the one symbol %.

As per the given,

Usually, the price of the skateboard = $79.01

The 12% of 79.01 ⇒ (12/100)79.01 = $9.4812

The price after a 12% discount

79.01 - 9.4812 = $69.5288

The 6.75% of 69.5288 ⇒(6.75/100)69.5288 = $4.693194

The total price after applying the 6.75% tax,

$69.5288 + $4.693194 = $74.22

Hence "The total cost of the skateboard after being discounted by 12% and then sales tax of 6.75% is$74.22".

customers send emails to a help desk of an online retailer every 2 minutes, on average, and the standard deviation of the inter-arrival time is also 2 minutes. the online retailer has three employees answering emails. it takes 4 minutes to write a response email, on average. the standard deviation of the service times is 2 minutes. this is a g/g/k queue. what is the arrival rate? what is the service rate?

Answers

The arrival rate is found to be 30 emails per hour and the service rate is calculated to be 45 emails per hour.

It has been mentioned in the question that in every 2 minutes, customers send emails to a help desk of an online retailer, on an average, and the standard deviation of the inter-arrival time is also given to be 2 minutes. The online retailer has three employees for answering those emails.

It takes almost 4 minutes to write a response email to the customer, on average. The standard deviation (SD) of the service times is 2 minutes. This is a g/g/k type queue.

Therefore the arrival rate per hour is given by the following relation:

Arrival rate in 1 hr = No. of minutes in an hr / inter arrival time of email taken in minutes

Given here,

No. of minutes in an hour = 60 minutes

Inter arrival time of the email taken in minutes = 2 minutes

Arrival rate in 1 hr = 60 / 2

                                = 30 emails / hr

Hence the arrival rate is 30 emails per hour.

Now for finding out the service rate we have the following formula:

Service rate = No. of minutes in an hr x No. of employes answering/ average time that is required to write response email

Given here,

No. of minutes in an hr = 60 minutes

No. of employes answering = 3

Average time that for writing response email = 2 minutes

∴ Service rate = 60 * 3 / 4

                       = 45 emails / hr

Hence the service rate is 45 emails per hour.

Answers

The point-slope form of equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = 5x + 6 nd passing through (-3,3) is x + 5y = 12.

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then the product of slopes of these two lines is equal to -1.

The provided line is y = 5x + 6,

The slope M₁ of the line is equal to the coefficient of x,

M₁ = 5

Let the slope of the perpendicular line is M₂,

So, we can write,

M₁M₂ = -1

M₂ = -1/5.

Now, we can use the point slope form of the equation of line, according to which is if line passes through (a,b) and have slope m then the equation of the line will be,

(y-a) = m(x-a)

This form of line is called Point-slope form of line.

Then, the equation of the line with slope -1/5 and passing through (-3,3) will be,

(y-3) = -1/5(x+3)

-5y+15 = x+3

x + 5y = 12
