Using the quadratic formula to solve 2
4x - 7. what are the values of x2
Answer:
x= [tex]-2\pm \sqrt{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct question: Using the quadratic formula to solve
x²+4x - 7. what are the values of x.
Solving by using quadratic formula.
Formula: [tex]\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4(ac) } }{2a}[/tex]
∴ In the expression [tex]x^{2} +4x-7[/tex], we have a= 1, b= 4 and c= -7.
Now, subtituting the value in the formula.
=[tex]\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^{2}-4(1\times -7) } }{2\times 1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^{2}-4(-7) } }{2}[/tex]
Opening parenthesis.
= [tex]\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+28 } }{2\times 1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{44}}{2}[/tex]
We know 2²=4
= [tex]\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{2^{2}\times 11 }}{2}[/tex]
we know √a²=a
= [tex]\frac{-4\pm 2 \sqrt{11 }}{2}[/tex]
Taking 2 as common in the expression.
= [tex]\frac{2(-2\pm \sqrt{11}) }{2}[/tex]
Cancelling 2
= [tex]-2\pm \sqrt{11}[/tex]
Hence we get, [tex]x=-2\pm\sqrt{11}[/tex]
Philip ran a sprint of two hundred feet in twenty-two seconds. At what speed was Philip running in miles per hour? (1 mile = 5280 feet). Round to the nearest tenth
Answer:
6.2 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Philip ran 200 feet.
Time taken is 22 seconds.
First lets find out speed of Philip.
Speed= [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
∴ Speed= [tex]\frac{200}{22} \ ft/sec[/tex]
Speed= 9.09 ft/sec.
Now, converting speed feet per second to miles per hours.
Remember, 1 miles= 5280 ft and 1 hours= 3600 seconds.
∴ Speed in miles per hour= [tex]9.09\times \frac{\frac{1}{5280} }{\frac{1}{3600} }[/tex]
⇒ Speed in miles per hour= [tex]9.09\times \frac{3600}{5280}[/tex]
⇒Speed in miles per hour= [tex]9.09\times 0.68= 6.19 \frac{mi}{h}[/tex]
∴ Philip ran at a speed of 6.2 miles per hour(nearest tenth decimal).

Reasoning A ship is sighted from the top of a lighthouse.
The angle of depression from the lighthouse to the ship is 45°
The distance from the top of the lighthouse directly to the ship is 4 miles.
Calculate the horizontal distance of the ship from the bottom of the lighthouse
Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
Answer: Sin45 = x/4
x = 4Sin45
x = 2.83miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Final answer:
The horizontal distance of the ship from the bottom of the lighthouse is equal to the direct distance from the lighthouse to the ship, which is 4.00 miles, because the angle of depression is 45 degrees forming an isosceles right-angled triangle.
Explanation:
The student is asking how to calculate the horizontal distance of a ship from the bottom of a lighthouse when the angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the ship is 45° and the direct distance from the lighthouse to the ship is 4 miles. This is a trigonometry problem involving right-angle triangles.
Since the angle of depression is 45°, we can establish that the lighthouse height and the horizontal distance will be equal due to the properties of an isosceles right-angled triangle. Thus, the horizontal distance from the bottom of the lighthouse to the ship is the same as the distance from the top of the lighthouse directly to the ship, which is given as 4 miles. Therefore, the horizontal distance is 4.00 miles.

what is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-1) and (2,8)?
Answer:
y=3/2 x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]
Firstly, find m (gradient).
m= (y1-y2)/(x1- x2)
m= 8-(-1)/ 2-(-4)
m= 9/ 6
m= 3/2
Please leave gradient in improper fraction if its value is not a whole number.
Now substitute m into the equation:
y= 3/2 x + c
Then substitute a coordinate to find c:
When y= 8, x= 2,
8= 3/2 (2) + c
8= 3 + c
c= 8 - 3 = 5
Thus, the equation of the line is y= 3/2 x + 5.

then decreased the volume by 20% for each subsequent ball. How much taller is Chiquita's completed v
snowman than Rhonda's completed snowman? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
Plz show full work
Answer:
to find how much taller Chiquita’s completed snowman is than Rhonda's completed Snowman
We divide the Height of the Chiquita’s snowman by the height of Rhonda’s Snowman
i.e. 7.456/8.532 = 0.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Vr1 be the volume of Rhonda’s first ball, and Vc1 be the volume of Chiquita’s first ball. Since the balls are spheres the formula for obtaining their Volume value is given as V= (4/3) x ∏ r3
Since from the question we were told that the first snowball for Rhonda and Chiquita’s Snowman are the same.
Let’s assume that the Vr1 =Vc1=10m²
So to find the radius we make r the subject of formula so r =∛(3V/4∏) where V is equal to 10 for the first spheres and ∏ is a constant with value 3.142 so
r1 = ∛(3×10/4)×3.142 = 1.337m
For the Second Snow ball of Rhonda’s Snowman
Given from the question that first Snow ball is 20% less than the Second Snow Ball
Let Vr2 Denote the volume of the second Rhonda’s Snowball
Vr2 = 20% of Vr1 + Vr1
= 20% of 10 + 10
= (20/100) x 10 + 10
= 12m²
So to find the radius of the second ball for Rhonda’s Snowman
Let r2 denote the radius of the second ball
r2 = ∛(3×12/4)×3.142 = 1.420m
For the Third Snow ball of Rhonda’s Snowman
Given from the question that Second Snow ball is 20% less than the Third Snow Ball
Let Vr3 denote the volume of the third Rhonda’s Snowball
Vr3 = 20% of Vr2 +Vr2
= (20/100) x 12 +12
= 14.4m²
So to find radius of the Third ball for Rhonda’s Snowman
Let r3 denote the radius of the second ball
r3 = ∛(3×14.4/4)×3.142 = 1.509m
For the Second Snow ball of Chiquita’s Snowman
Given from the question that first Snow ball is 20% greater than the Second Snow Ball
Let Vc2 denote the volume of the second Chiquita’s Snowball
For Vc2 = Vc1 - 20% of Vc1
= 10 – (20/100) x 10
= 8m²
So to find the radius of the second ball for Chiquita
Let c2 denote the radius of the second ball
c2 = ∛(3×8/4)×3.142 =1.240m
For the Third Snow ball of Chiquita’s Snowman
Given from the question that Second Snow ball is 20% greater than the third Snow Ball
Let Vc3 denote the volume of the third Chiquita’s Snowball
For Vc3 = Vc2 - 20% of Vc2
= 8 – (20/100) x 8
= 6.4m²
So to find the radius of the second ball for Chiquita
Let c3 denote the radius of the second ball
c3 =∛((3×6.4/4)×3.142) = 1.151m
Therefore Height of Rhonda’s Snowman = Dr1 + Dr2 + Dr3
= 2×r1 +2×r2 +2×r3
= (2×1.337) + (2×1.420) + (2×1.509)
= 8.532m
Therefore the Height of Chiquita’s Snowman = Dc1 + Dc2 +Dc3
= 2×c1 +2×c2 +2×c3
= (2×1.337) + (2×1.240) + (2×1.151)
= 7.456m
No to find how much taller Chiquita’s completed snowman is than Rhonda's completed Snowman
We divide the Height of the Chiquita’s snowman by the height of Rhonda’s Snowman
i.e. 7.456/8.532 = 0.87
Note: if we assume another value for Vr1 = Vc1 we will still get the same ratio.

Final answer:
To solve the question, two variables are defined: c for commercials and m for movies. The system of equations is $30c + $80m = $640 and c = m + 3, representing Anna's royalties from commercials and movies.
Explanation:
The student's question involves creating a system of equations to determine the number of commercials and movies on which Anna, a songwriter who collects royalties, had her songs played. We are given that Anna earns $30 from each commercial and $80 from each movie her songs are played in. It is also known that her songs were played in 3 more commercials than movies, and she earned a total of $640. To formulate the system of equations, we introduce two variables: let c represent the number of commercials and m represent the number of movies.
The first equation represents the total earnings based on the number of plays:
$30c + $80m = $640.
The second equation represents the relationship between the number of commercials and movies:
c = m + 3.
Combining these two equations gives us a system that can be solved to find the values of c and m.
By substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can create a system of equations:
30(M + 3) + 80M = 640
30M + 90 + 80M = 640
110M + 90 = 640
110M = 550
M = 5
Now that we have found the number of movies (M = 5), we can substitute this value back into the equation C = M + 3 to find the number of commercials:
C = 5 + 3
C = 8

The surface are of a cylinder is given by the formula SA=2pir^2+2pirh,where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Solve the formula for h in the space given below.show all the steps.
Answer:
A = 2πr2 + 2πrh is the final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
h = (x-2πr²)/2πr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the surfaces area of a cylinder by the formula
SA = 2πr²+2πrh
To solve for h means making h the subject of the formula from the equation.
Let x be the surface area of the cylinder. The formula can be rewritten as;
x = 2πr²+2πrh
Subtracting 2πr² from both sides of the equation will give;
x-2πr² = 2πr²+2πrh-2πr²
x-2πr²= 2πrh
Dividing both sides by 2πr wikk results into;
(x-2πr²)/2πr = 2πrh/2πr
h = (x-2πr²)/2πr where x is the surface area of the cylinder.

Divide. Write in simplest form. 10 divided by 1 2/3 ?
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.
Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.
So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.
It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.
Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.
Final answer:
To find 10 divided by 1 2/3, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction (5/3), multiply by the reciprocal (3/5), and simplify the result to get 6.
Explanation:
To divide 10 by 1 2/3, first, we need to convert the mixed number 1 2/3 into an improper fraction. The mixed number 1 2/3 can be written as 5/3 because 1 (which is 3/3) plus 2/3 equals 5/3.
Next, we apply the rule for dividing fractions: we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. So, we take 10 (which is the same as 10/1) and multiply it by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5.
The multiplication looks like this: 10/1 × 3/5 = 30/5.
The result of 30/5 can be simplified to 6, which is the answer in simplest form. Therefore, 10 divided by 1 2/3 equals 6.

A cotton gin – meaning "cotton engine" – is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.[1] The fibers are then processed into various cotton goods such as linens, while any undamaged cotton is used largely for textiles like clothing. The separated seeds may be used to grow more cotton or to produce cottonseed oil.
Handheld roller gins had been used in the Indian subcontinent since at earliest AD 500 and then in other regions.[2] The Indian worm-gear roller gin, invented sometime around the 16th century,[3] has, according to Lakwete, remained virtually unchanged up to the present time. A modern mechanical cotton gin was created by American inventor Eli Whitney in 1793 and patented in 1794. Whitney's gin used a combination of a wire screen and small wire hooks to pull the cotton through, while brushes continuously removed the loose cotton lint to prevent jams. It revolutionized the cotton industry in the United States, but also led to the growth of slavery in the American South as the demand for cotton workers rapidly increased. The invention has thus been identified as an inadvertent contributing factor to the outbreak of the American Civil War.[4] Modern automated cotton gins use multiple powered cleaning cylinders and saws, and offer far higher productivity than their hand-powered precursors.[5]
Eli Whitney invented his cotton gin in 1793. He began to work on this project after moving to Georgia in search of work. Given that farmers were desperately searching for a way to make cotton farming profitable, a woman named Catharine Greene provided Whitney with funding to create the first cotton gin. Whitney created two cotton gins: a small one that could be hand-cranked and a large one that could be driven by a horse or water power.
The invention from the late 1700s is Cotton Gin. It was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793.
