What are the solutions to the equation (x-1)(x+2)=-2?

Answers

Answer 1

Method used:-

Completing the square method.

Steps :-

[tex]( x - 1 ) ( x + 2 ) = - 2\\x^{2}+x-2=-2 \\x^{2}+x=-2+2 \\x^{2}+x=0[/tex]

Now, make the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of ½ to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x^{2}+x+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} \\x^{2}+x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \\\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{4} \\\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \\[/tex]

Simplify the equation. You'll get a +ve & -ve value.

[tex]x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \\x+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Simplify it further.

[tex]\boxed{\sf\:x=0}\\ \boxed{\sf\:x=-1 }[/tex]

The solutions are :-

x = 0 & x = -1

a rectangular garden is 50m long and 45 m broad A path 2m wide is. running inside the garden . Calculate the cost of gravelling the path at rs 40 per square meter.....​

Answers

A rectangle garden is 50m long and 45 m broad. A path 2m wide is. running inside the garden.Area of the rectangular garden = (50 × 45) square metres = 2250 square metres.Area of the rectangle which is left after the path is paved = [(50-2×2)×(45-2×2)] square metres = [(50-4) × (45-4)] square metres = (46 × 41) square metres = 1886 square metres.Therefore, the area of the path = (2250 - 1886) square metres = 364 square metres.Therefore, the cost of gravelling the path at Rs. 40 per square metre = Rs.

The distance required for a car to stop is directly proportional to the
square of its velocity. If a car can stop in 112.5 meters at 15 kilometers
per hour, how many meters are needed to stop at 25 kilometers per hour?

Answers

Answer:

312.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance be d and velocity be v , then

d = kv² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 112.5, v= 15

112.5 = k × 15² = 225k ( divide both sides by 225 )

0.5 = k

d = 0.5v² ← equation of variation

When v = 25 , then

d = 0.5 × 25² = 0.5 × 625 = 312.5 m

The equation showing the relationship between w and t is [tex]w = 4t[/tex]

From the table, we have the following points:

(0,0) and (1,4)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{4 -0}{1 -0}[/tex]

Simplify the numerator and the denominator

[tex]m = \frac{4}{1}[/tex]

Divide 4 by 1

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]w = m(t - t_1) + w_1[/tex]

A5

again, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters

we have 3 layers.

each layer weighs (cake plus icing)

3 layers then weigh

3×600 g = 1800 g

the additional candle weighs 250 g.

110 × 10000 = 1,100,000 cm²

the top area of one brick = 10 × 20 = 200 cm²

so, we need

Answer:

5 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the son's age be x then the father's age is x + 20

In 5 years

son = x + 5 and father = x + 20 + 5 = x + 25

Then

x + 25 = 3(x + 5) ← father is three times as old as son

x + 25 = 3x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )

25 = 2x + 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

10 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

5 = x and x + 20 = 5 + 20 = 25

si=on is 5 and father is 25

Answer:

The son is 5 and the father is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this using  Algebra.

Let the son be x years old.

Then the father's age is x + 20 years.

After 5 years the father's age is x + 25 and the son is x + 5 years.

So we can write the equation:

x + 25 = 3(x + 5)

x + 25 = 3x + 15

25 - 15 = 3x - x

10 = 2x

x = 5.

So the father's present age is 20 + 5 = 25 and the son is 5 years old.

Ryan and Taylor are both saving money to buy new video game equipment. Ryan's savings plan can be modeled by the function s= 15m + 50 where m represents the number of months since Ryan started his plan, and s represents the amount of money saved in dollars. The table shown represents Taylor's savings plan.

Taylor's Savings Plan --- In the file (Picture).

a. Ryans rate of change is_________Taylor's rate of change.
b. Ryans starting balance is _________Taylor's starting balance.

Answers

a. Ryan's rate of change is $15 per month;

Taylor's rate of change is $20 per month

b. Ryan's starting balance is $50;

Taylor's starting balance is $25.

Recall:

A linear function is modelled by the equation, y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the initial value (starting value).Rate of change = change in y/change in x

Ryan's Savings Plan Function:

s = 15m + 50

Thus, the starting value (starting balance) modelled by this function is $50

The slope/rate of change is $15 per month

Taylor's Savings Plan:

Given the table, the starting value will be the amount saved (initial value) at 0 number of months.

Therefore, Taylor's starting balance is: $25

Using (0, 25) and (1, 45) find the rate of change:

Rate of change = (45 - 25)/(1-0) = 20/1 = $20

In summary:

a. Ryan's rate of change is $15 per month;

Taylor's rate of change is $20 per month

b. Ryan's starting balance is $50;

Taylor's starting balance is $25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines represented by the equations y=x+5 and 2y-2x=10 are

Answers

The equations representing the lines, y=x+5 and 2y-2x=10, have the same slope, therefore the lines are parallel.

Recall:

Two lines that are parallel will have the same slope value.Two lines that are perpendicular to each other will have slopes that are negative reciprocal of each other.Equation representing a line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

Given:

y = x + 5

2y - 2x = 10

The slope of y = x + 5 is 1.

Rewrite 2y - 2x = 10 in slope-intercept form to determine its slope.

2y - 2x = 10

2y = 2x + 10

Divide both sides by 2

y = x + 5

Thus, the slope of y = x + 5 (2y - 2x = 10) is also 1.

The equations representing the lines, y=x+5 and 2y-2x=10, have the same slope, therefore the lines are parallel.

To find the root of a number, you can use the concept of radicals.

The "root" refers to the inverse operation of raising a number to a power. For example, the square root (√) is the most common root, and it represents finding a number that, when squared, gives the original number.

To find the root of a number, such as the square root (√), you can use the following notation:

√(2 * √(5))

In this case, we have the square root of (2 times the square root of 5).

To simplify this expression further, we can break it down step by step:

Step 1: Simplify the square root of 5:

√(5) = 2.236 (approximately)

Step 2: Substitute the simplified value back into the original expression:

√(2 * 2.236)

Step 3: Simplify the expression:

√(4.472) = 2.116 (approximately)

Therefore, the root of 2√5 is approximately 2.116.
