what values of a, b, and c would you use in the quadratic formula for the following equation? 5x^2+9x=4

1. a=-4,b=9,c=5
2.a=5,b=9,c=-4
3.a=5,b=-4,c=9
4.a=5,b=9,c=4

Answers

Answer 1
2. 

a = 5, b = 9, c = -4

This is because the equation should be equal to zero before finding the terms. 
Answer 2

The standard form is given by :

[tex] ax^{2} +bx +c=0 [/tex]

So we have to convert given equation in this form by bringing all terms to one side and making 0 on the other side.

[tex] 5x^{2} +9x=4 [/tex]

Now we have to bring 4 to the left side,

subtracting 4 on the left,

[tex] 5x^{2} +9x-4=0 [/tex]

Comparing our equation with standard form,

Answer : a=5, b=9 and c=-4 ( second option is right )

A rectangular deck
is 12 ft by 14 ft. When the length and width are increased by the same amount very becomes 280 squares ft. By how much were the dimensions increased ?

Answers

Both dimensions were increased by 127.

The other response seems more complex so probably ignore mine. I probably misinterpreted the question.

Original length: 14 ft. New length x + 14.
Original width: 12 ft. New width x + 12.

New area:

[tex] A = LW [/tex]  or [tex] LW = A [/tex]

[tex] (x + 14)(x + 12) = 280 [/tex]

[tex] x^2 + 14x + 12x + 168 = 280 [/tex]

[tex] x^2 + 26x - 112 = 0 [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2 - 4(1)(-112)}}{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{676 + 448}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1124}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-26 \pm 2\sqrt{281}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = -13 \pm \sqrt{281} [/tex]

[tex] x \approx -29.76 [/tex]   or   [tex] x \approx 3.76 [/tex]

We discard the negative answer.

20 POINTS! What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, -4)?

Answers

Use the distance formula.

The distance, d, between points [tex] (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
and [tex] (x_2, y_2) [/tex] is given by the distance formula below.

[tex] d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]

Now we can apply the formula to your points.

Let Point 1 be (2, 3) and Point 2 be (5, -4).

Then you have

[tex] x_1 = 2~~~~y_1 = 3~~~~x_2 = 5~~~~y_2 = -4 [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (-4 - 3)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-7)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{9 + 49} [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{58} [/tex]

in this reflection, the image has been reflected along the x = 3 line. then all the points on the image are reflected along this vertical line. the distance between each point and the vertical line is noted and by that same distance its moved to the opposite side of the vertical line, while the y coordinates stay the same.
A(2,-5)- x coordinate is 2, its 1 unit away from x=3, it should move by 1 unit to the other side of x = 3, then x = 4. y stays as it is.
A' - (4,-5)

B(-4,6) - distance from x = 3, is (-4-+3) is seven units, moves by 7 units to the other side

[tex] x = \frac{7 + 3i \sqrt{3} }{2} [/tex] or [tex] x = \frac{7 - 3i \sqrt{3} }{2} [/tex] 

(Answer B)

Answer: [tex]x=\frac{7\pm 3i\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Since, given quadratic function, [tex](x-5)^2 + 3(x-5) + 9 = 0[/tex] -----(1)

let us consider,[tex]x-5=p[/tex] -----(2)

Put this value in equation (1),

We get, [tex]p^2+3 p+9=0[/tex], which is also a quadratic equation.

Since, quadratic formula for finding the root of quadratic equation of type [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] is,  [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}} {2a}[/tex]

Here, a=1, b=3  and c=9, so, [tex]p=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4\times1 \times9}} {2\times1}[/tex]

Thus,  [tex]p=\frac{-3\pm3\sqrt{-3}} {2}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]p=\frac{-3\pm3i\sqrt{3}} {2}[/tex]   (because √-1=i)

Now, from equation(2) [tex]x-5=\frac{-3\pm3i\sqrt{3}} {2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=\frac{-3\pm3i\sqrt{3}} {2}+5=\frac{7\pm 3i\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=\frac{7\pm 3i\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

There are many penguins on a hill. 53 penguins waddled off the hill. Now 21 penguins remain on the hill. How many penguins were on the hill to start?

74 penguins

72 penguins

32 penguins

34 penguins

Answers

Answer:

74 Penguins

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 53+21

2. =74

Penguins are my favorite animal. What's yours?

Answer:

There were originally 74 penguins on the hill.

Step 1: Determine the Values we Need

For starters, we need to define the variable that we will use to solve this equation. I will use x.

We know that our original amount is x, and we need to find it to solve the problem.

The Factsx stands for the original amount of penguins on the hill.53 penguins waddle off of the hill.21 penguins remain after the 53 penguins waddle off of the hill.

To find x, we will set up an algebraic equation that allows us to find the value easily.

Step 2: Set up the Algebraic Equation

Now, we will need to set up the equation with the facts we have determined.

We know that we need to set our equation equal to x to find our total. To do this, we know that our initial amount is x, and we remove 53 penguins from this total since they waddle off of the hill.

Since we "remove" from the total, this means that we will subtract 53 penguins from x, our initial amount. We are left with the 21 penguins that do not leave the hill, or otherwise, remain on the hill.

[tex]x - 53 = 21[/tex]

Step 3: Rearrange and Solve the Equation

Finally, we are ready to solve the equation to find our initial amount of penguins.

To solve this equation, we must combine our like terms.

Because our numbers (constants) do not have any letters (variables) attached to them, we will combine them.

The main goal of an algebraic equation is to get the variable (in this case, x) by itself. To do this, we can perform reverse operations to get the constants together.

You'll notice that 21 does not have a sign associated with it, but 53 does, and it is a subtraction symbol.

The reverse operation of subtraction is addition. Therefore, to combine the two values, we can add both 53 and 21 to each other to find x.

[tex]x = 53 + 21[/tex]

Using any method of choice, add the two values together.

[tex]x = 53 + 21 = 74[/tex]

Then, to simplify, remove the operation and only leave the sum of the operation.

[tex]\boxed{x = 74}[/tex]

Therefore, the initial number of penguins—the number of penguins on the hill to start—is equivalent to 74 penguins.

Answers

Carter needs an additional ⅛ cup.
⅛ + ⅛ = ¼

Answer:

Carter can measure the flour he needs for his recipe by filling his measurement cup twice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Carter has a smaller cup, he would have to fill his cup a number of times until the sum of the number of cups he has fill repeatedly adds up to the recipe requirement.

The number of times Carter would have to measure his cup with flour to get the recipe call may be computed by dividing the recipe call amount with the size of Carter's measurement cup

A principal of $400 is invested in an account at 6% per year compounded annually. What is the total amount of money in the account after 5 years? A. $526.00 B. $531.37 C. $535.29 D. $520.00

Answers

To find the outcome of compounded money, we use the following formula:
[tex]e = b \times (1 + \frac{i}{100} ) {}^{n} [/tex]

In this formula:
e represents the outcome
b represents the money at the beginning
i represents the interest rate
n represents the number of years.

Filling in this formula, we get:
[tex]e = 400 \times (1 + \frac{6}{100}) {}^{5} [/tex]
[tex]e = 400 \times 1.06 {}^{5} [/tex]
[tex]e = 535.29[/tex]
Therefore the answer is C. $535.29

The total amount of money in the account after 5 years is $535.29.

To calculate the total amount of money in the account after 5 years, we can use the compound interest formula: [tex]A = P{(1 + r/n)}^{(nt)[/tex], where A is the total amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times compounded per year, and t is the number of years.

Given that the principal is $400, the annual interest rate is 6%, and the compounding is done annually, we have:

A = 400(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*5) = 400(1.06)^5 = 400 * 1.338225 = $535.29

Therefore, the total amount of money in the account after 5 years is $535.29.

You need to have a password with 4 letters followed by 2 even digits between 0 and 9, inclusive. if the characters and digits cannot be used more than once, how many choices do you have for your password?

Answers

Final answer:

The total number of possible passwords, considering the conditions that no letters or digits can be reused, and only even digits 0-9 can be used, would be 7,893,600.

Explanation:

This is a question of combinations and permutations. Firstly, consider the four letters. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Since you have four letters and none of them can be the same, the number of possibilities is 26 * 25 * 24 * 23. Next, consider the two numbers. Since we can only choose even numbers between 0 and 9 (which gives us 5 possible selections), and they cannot be the same, the number of possibilities is 5 * 4. Therefore, to find the total number of possible passwords, you multiply the possibilities for letters and numbers together. So, the number of

possible passwords would be 26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 5 * 4, which equals to 7,893,600.

C. 150
D. 15

Answers

C.150 is the answer. I hope this helps :)
Final answer:

The street promotion worker must hand out 150 flyers each hour to make $15.

Explanation:

To determine how many flyers the street promotion worker must hand out each hour to make $15, we need to use the equation:

Number of flyers × Payment per flyer = Total payment

Since the worker wants to make $15 an hour, the equation becomes:

Number of flyers × $0.10 = $15

To solve for the number of flyers, we divide both sides of the equation by $0.10:

Number of flyers = $15 ÷ $0.10

Number of flyers = 150

Therefore, the street promotion worker must hand out 150 flyers each hour to make $15.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows: from Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table -Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.
