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

Which would be the most suitable viewing window to solve the system below?

Answers

The solution of the system belongs to -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, -1 ≤ y ≤ 1.

Given a system of the equations:

x/3 + y/2 = 1/3  .... (1)

(5x)/6 - (3y)/4 = 1/6  ....(2)

Multiply 5/2 to equation (1) then subtract from equation (2), we get,

(5y)/4 + (15y)/8 = 5/6 - 1/6

(10y + 15y)/8 = 4/6

(25y)/8 = 4/6

25y = 4/6 x 8

y = 32/150

y = 0.21

To find the value of x,

x/3 + 32/300 = 1/3

x/3 = 1/3 - 32/300

x = 3(1/3 - 32/300)

x = 1 - 32/100

x = 0.68

From the given choices,

-1 ≤ x ≤ 1, -1 ≤ y ≤ 1.

(a) The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 288 m. If the width of the parking lot is 65 m, what is its length? Length of the parking lot: ​

Answers

Answer:

79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

=> 288 = 2(l + 65)

=> 288/2 = l + 65

=> 144 = l + 65

=> 144 - 65 = l

=> 79 = l

Hence,

Length of rectangle is 79 m

Answer:

Length of parking lot = 79m

Explanation:

2 × length + 2 × breadth = perimeter of rectangle

2 × length + 2 × 65 = 288

2 × length + 130 = 288

2 × length = 288 - 130

= 158

length = 158 ÷ 2

= 79

3. If you are calculating the acceleration of an object, and it has a speed of 30 km/hr
and the time is measure in hours what are the units for acceleration?
I

Answers

We want to see which units we should use for acceleration in the given scenario, the units that we must use are km/h², or kilometer per hour squared.

So we know that acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity (in the same way that velocity is the rate of change in position).

Note that position is represented only with distance units, like km.

And to get a velocity you use the units km/h  (that tell you how many kilometers your position changes in one hour).

Similarly, the rate of change of the velocity will be (velocity)/time.

(km/h)/h = km/h²

Which is kilometers per hour squared.
