solve the equation for all values of x by completing the square x^2+4x-60=0

Solve The Equation For All Values Of X By Completing The Square X^2+4x-60=0

Answers

Answer 1

hello

the question is a quadratic equation and we are asked to use completing the squares method.

to solve this, let's use some basic steps

step 1

divide through the equation by the coefficient of x^2

\(\begin{gathered} x^2+4x-60=0 \\ \frac{x^2}{1}+\frac{4x}{1}-\frac{60}{1}=\frac{0}{1} \\ x^2+4x-60=0 \end{gathered}\)

step 2

now we have to know that

\(\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ where\text{ we can relate this to out own equation} \\ x^2+4x-60 \\ a=1,b=4,c=-60 \end{gathered}\)\(x^2+4x=60\)

step 3

complete the square on the left hand side of the equation and balance this by adding the same value on the right hand side of the equation

\(\begin{gathered} x^2+4x+4=60+4 \\ (x+2)^2=64 \end{gathered}\)

step 4

take the square roots on both sides of the equation

\(\begin{gathered} (x+2)^2=64 \\ \sqrt[]{(x+2)^2_{}}=\sqrt[]{64} \\ x+2=\pm8 \\ x=2+8=10 \\ or \\ x=2-8=-6 \end{gathered}\)

from the calculations above, the value of x is either 10 or -8

Which of these are equivalent?

For equations to be equivalent they must be reduced to obtain the same terms. Thus if the terms that are found on an equation are not similar it is not possible to think that the equations are by any means equivalent.

Given the four equations as we have them in the question, the following equations are equivalent;

Question
From a point P on a level ground and directly west of a pole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is 45° and from point Q east of the pole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is 58°. If |PQ|= 10m, calculate, correct to 2 significant figures, the:
a) distance from P to the pole;
b) height of the pole.

QuestionFrom a point P on a level ground and directly west of a pole, the angle of elevation of the top

Answers

a) The distance from point P to the pole  is: 6.2 m

b) The height of the Pole is: 6.2 m

How to find the distance and height from angle of elevation?

The triangle attached shows us the triangle formed as a result of the given word problem about angle of elevation and distance and height.

Now, we are given that:

The angle of elevation of the top of the pole =  45°

Angle of elevation of the top of the pole = 58°.

|PQ|= 10m

a) PR is distance from point P to the pole and using trigonometric ratios, gives us:

PR/sin 58 = 10/sin(180 - 58 - 45)

PR/sin 58 = 10/sin 77

PR = (10 * sin 58)/sin 77

PR = 8.7 m

b) P O can be calculated with trigonometric ratios as:

P O = PR * cos 45

P O = 8.7 * 0.7071

P O = 6.2 m

Now, the two sides of the isosceles triangle formed are equal and as such:

R O = P O

Thus, height of pole R O = 6.2 m

The Total length of two sides based on the information will be 7x²+2x+1

The Length of the third side will be 4 x³-10x²-7.

How to calculate the length

Total length of two sides= Side 1 + Side 2

= 8x² − 5x − 2+ 7x − x²+ 3

= 8x²-x²-5x+7x-2+3

= 7x²+2x+1

Length of the third side = Perimeter - Total length of two sides

Length of the third side=4x³ − 3x² + 2x − 6-(7x²+2x+1)

= 4x³ − 3x² + 2x − 6-7x²-2x-1

where:
m is:
b is:

The slope of the tangent line to the curve y= 3/xat the point 5, 3/5 is- The equation of this tangent

Answers

The tangent line at that point is:

y = (-3/25)*x + 6/5

so m = -3/25, and b = 6/5

How to find the slope of the tangent line?

To find the slope at that point, we need to evaluate the derivative at that point.

y = 3/x

The derivative is:

y' = -3/x²

When x = 5, we have:

y' = -3/5² = -3/25

So that is the slope, m.

Now let's find the line.

The line must pass trhough the point (5, 3/5), then:

3/5 = (-3/25)*5 + b

3/5 = -3/5 + b

3/5 + 3/5 = b

6/5 = b

The equation of the line is:

y = (-3/25)*x + 6/5

Mackenzie has some red, yellow and blue marbles. She has 3200 more red marbles than yellow marbles. She has 3840 more blue than yellow. She gives 1490 blue marbles away. How many more red marbles than blue marbles does she have left?

Answers

Answer:

850

Step-by-step explanation:

Mackenzie has 3200 more red marbles than yellow,

(y + 3200 = r)

And she also has 3840 more blue marbles than the yellow marbles,

(y + 3840 = b)

Then let's assume that Mackenzie has 1 yellow marble.

1 + 3200 = 3201 red marbles

1 +3840 = 3841 blue marbles

If she gives away 1490 blue marbles away, then she is left with 2351 blue marbles.

(3841 - 1490 = 2351)

Now she's left with 2351 blue marbles, and 3201 red marbles.

r - b =?

3201 - 2351 = 850

Mackenzie has 850 more red marbles than blue marbles.

(If you want, you can change the number of yellow marbles, but it will be the same answer.)

Answers

Answer:

If the mean was 7 for the first 4 days that means the sum of temperatures of the first 4 days was 7 * 4 = 28. Similarly, the sum of temperatures of the first 5 days was 9 * 5 = 45 so that means that the temp. on the 5th day was 45 - 28 = 17°C.

Answer:

11 C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean (average), you have to add all and divide by 2, so if you reverse this, you get (7 + X)/2  = 9 , 9 * 2 - 7 = 11

The Ozzie Chocolate Company is preparing to offer a new product in its candy offerings, the Minty Dark Chocolate Bite bar. Material costs per new candy bar are
$0.25 for chocolate, $0.02 for sugar, and $0.03 for mint flavoring. Labor costs of the new product are approximately $0.15 per bar. Adding a production line devoted to the new candy will cost $250,000 per year.

(a) If the sales price is $1.40 per candy bar, how many must the company make per year in order to break even? Assume that each bar made is sold at full price.

(b) What is the company's profit or loss if they make and sell 270,000 candy bars at the $1.40 price in the first year?

(c) About 20% of the food consumed in the U.S. is imported. Production in many industries has been offshored. What ethical issues do companies face when presented with the decision to move operations?

Answers

Answer:

a) 263,158

b) $164,500

c) Ethical issues companies face when deciding to move operations: job loss for employees, poor working conditions and exploitation of workers, negative environmental impact,...

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Total cost = (0.25 + 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.15) x + 250,000

Total revenue = 1.40x

Setting the two equations equal to each other and solving for x, we get:

(0.45)x + 250,000 = 1.40x

0.95x = 250,000

x ≈ 263,158

b)

If the company sells 270,000 candy bars at $1.40 each, the total revenue generated is:

270,000 * $1.40 = $378,000

The total cost of producing 270,000 candy bars is:

(0.25 + 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.15) * 270,000 + $250,000 = $213,500

Therefore, the company's profit is:

$378,000 - $213,500 = $164,500

Now, looking at the graph, we can see that;

At x = 5, y = -6

At x = 4, y = -5

At x = 3, y = -4

At x = 2, y = -3

At x = 1, y = -2

At x = 0, y = -1

At x = -1, y = 0

At x = -2, y = 1

Phineas puts $600 into a certificate of deposit that earns 3.09%. If the money is
compounded monthly, how much will it be worth in 4 years?

Answers

Answer:

$678.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Principal, P = $600

Rate = 3.09% = 0.0309

Period, t = 4 years

Compounding times per period, n = 12 (monthly)

The compound interest formula :

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 600(1 + 0.0309/12)^(12*4)

A = 600(1 + 0.002575)^48

A = 600(1.002575)^48

A = 600 * 1.1313834

A = 678.83004
