-3x^{2}-21x-54 what are the zeros? (Solutions)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: the only way to solve if it is equal to something
assuming that the teacher wanted you to make it equal to zero do
0=-3x^2-21x-54

remember if we can do
xy=0 then assume x and y=0

so factor

0=-3x^2-21x-54
undistribute the -3
0=-3(x^2+7x+18)
remember 0 times anything=0 so
x^2+7x+18 must equal zero
use quadratice formula which is

if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^(2)-4ac} }{2a}

x^2+7x+18
a=1
b=7
c=18

x=\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{7^(2)-4(1)(18)} }{2(1)}
x=(-7+/- √(49-72) )/(2)
x=(-7+/- √(-23) )/(2)
i=√-1
x=(-7+/- i√(23) )/(2)



the zerose would be
x=(-7+ i√(23) )/(2) or (-7- i√(23) )/(2)

At a certain time of the day, a tree that is x meters tall casts a shadow that is x-49 meters long. If the distance from the top of the tree to the end of the shadow is x+1 meters, what is the height , x of the tree ?

Answers

The height of the tree is 60 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree be x. The tree casts a shadow of x-49 meters and the distance from the top of the tree to the end of the shadow is x+1 meters.

The sides of the triangle are attached in the image below:

Using pythagoras theorem,

x^(2)+(x-49)^(2)=(x+1)^(2)

Expanding, we get,

2 x^(2)-98 x+2401=x^(2)+2 x+1

2 x^(2)-98 x+2400=x^(2)+2 x

2 x^(2)-100 x+2400=x^(2)

x^(2)-100 x+2400=0

Solving the equation using the quadratic formula x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^(2)-4 a c}}{2 a}, we get,

x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^(2)-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2400}}{2 \cdot 1}

Simplifying, we have,

x=(100\pm√(10000-9600))/(2)

x=(100\pm√(400))/(2)

x=\frac{100\pm{20}}{2}

Thus,

x=(100+20)/(2) \nx=(120)/(2) \nx=60  and  x=(100-20)/(2) \nx=(80)/(2) \nx=40

where the value x=40 is not possible because substituting the value x=40 in x-49 results in negative solution. Which is not possible.

Hence, the value of x is 60.

Thus, The height of the tree is 60 meters.

Ava is 23 cm taller than Olivia,and Olivia is half the height of Lucas. If Lucas is 1.78 m tall,how tall are Ava and Olivia? Express their heights in centimeters.

Answers

  • Ava's height is 89 cm
  • Olivia's height is 112 cm

Further explanation

Given:

  • Ava is 23 cm taller than Olivia
  • Olivia is half the height of Lucas
  • Lucas is 1.78 m tall

Question:

How tall are Ava and Olivia?

Express their heights in centimeters.

Problem solving:

From the information above, only Lucas's tall has known at 1.78 m.

Because Olivia is half the height of Lucas, then we must multiply Lucas's height with ¹/₂ to get Olivia's tall.

\boxed{ \ Olivia's \ height = (1)/(2) * 1.78 \ m \ }

Or, we can halve Lucas's height as follows:

\boxed{ \ Olivia's \ height = 1.78 \ m / 2 \ }

Thus, Olivia's height is\boxed{ \ 0.89 \ meters \rightarrow 89 \ cm \ }

Next, we find out Ava's height.

Because Ava's is 23 cm taller than Olivia’s, then we must add Olivia’s height with 23 cm to get Ava's height.

Ava's height = 89 cm + 23 cm

Thus, Ava's height is\boxed{ \ 112 \ cm \rightarrow 1.12 \ meters \ }

We have to express their height in centimeters. Recall that 1 m = 100 cm.

Conclusion

  • Ava's height is 0.89 m or 89 cm
  • Olivia's height is 1.12 m or 112 cm
  • Lucas's height is 1.78 m or 178 cm

Keywords: Ava is 23 cm taller than Olivia, half the height of Lucas, 1.78 m tall, multiply, express their heights in centimeters.

Thus, the height of ava and olivia is \boxed{112\text{ cm}\text{ and }89\text{ cm}} respectively.

Further explanation:

It is given that height of ava is 23\text{ centimeter} more than the height than the height of olivia and the height of olivia is half of the height of lucas.

Consider the height of ava, olivia and lucas as x,y and z.

The height of the lucas is given as 1.78\text{ meter}.

This implies that the value of z is as follows:

\boxed{z=1.78}

Since, the height of lucas is given in meter so, it is necessary to convert the unit into centimeter.

The height of lucas is converted into centimeter unit as follows:

\begin{aligned}1\text{ meter}&\rightarrow 100\text{ centimeter}\n1.78\text{ meter}&\rightarrow 1.78*100=178\text{ centimeter}\end{aligned}

Since, the height of olivia is half of the height of lucas so, the equation formed is as follows:

\boxed{y=(z)/(2)}

Substitute 178 for the z in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}y&=(178)/(2)\n&=89\end{aligned}

Therefore, the value of y is 89.

This implies that the height of olivia is 89\text{ centimeter}.

It is given that height of ava is 23\text{ centimeter} more than the height than the height of olivia so, the equation formed is as follows:

\boxed{x=23+y}

Substitute 89 for y in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}x&=23+89\n&=112\end{aligned}

This implies that the height of ava is 112\text{ centimeters}.

Thus, the height of ava and olivia is \boxed{112\text{ cm}\text{ and }89\text{ cm}} respectively.

You roll a standard number die. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5?

Answers

probablity is (desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)

less than 5
therea er 1,2,3,4
4 number

total possible is 6 since 6 faces
probablity is 4/6=2/3
look at it this way. it is originally 6. you take away 2 (cause you can only roll 1 through 4,) then you have 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3.

The dragonfly is the fastest flying insect it can move at a speed of about 50 feet per second find the approximate time for a dragonfly to travel 400ft

Answers

Answer:

8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

400 divided by 50 is 8

Answer: 8 sec

Step-by-step explanation

50 = 1sec

50 + 50 = 100

50 + 50 + 50 + 50 = 200

You keep adding 50 until you reach 400

Every 50 you add is 1 sec so if you add eight 50’s it would be 400 and that would mean it takes him 8 seconds to travel 400ft
