Algebraically find the roots of the quadratic equation: w2 + 8w+ 15 = 0
(HINT: You may factor or use the quadratic formula)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

w = - 5, w = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

w² + 8w + 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the w- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 5 and + 3 , since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3 = 8 , thus

(w + 5)(w + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w + 5 = 0 ⇒ w = - 5

w + 3 = 0 ⇒ w = - 3

A. 10.8
B. 11
C. 11.4
D. 11.6

Answers

Answer:

A: 10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = BC

AB = DC

2AD + 2AB

AD = ±[tex]\sqrt{3^2+1^2}[/tex] ≈ ±3.1622

AD ≈ 3.1622

AB = ±[tex]\sqrt{2^2+1^2}[/tex] ≈ ±2.236

AB ≈ 2.236

2AD + 2AB = 2*3.1622 + 2*2.236 ≈ 10.79 ≈ 10.8

Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet. Every bounce sends the
ball half as high as it was before.

What is the total vertical (up and down) distance the ball has traveled, from
the moment it is dropped to the moment it hits the floor for the fourth time?

(Do not include units in your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

48 first hit and rises 24

24 second and rises 12

12 third hit and rises 6

6 forth hit

48+24+24+12+12+6+6= 132

After the 4th hit the total distance up and down covered by the ball will be 90 feet.

Why the ball is bouncing back less and less distance upward after every drop ?

Some of the kinetic energy of the ball has been transferred by the ball to the ground after each drop also when it is in the process of going upwards force of gravity is working on the opposite direction which is downwards.

There are other factors too ask your physics teacher if you are more curious.

According to the given question

First time it has been dropped from a height of 48 feet as at every bounce it bounces back half of it's value it will go up to 24 feet repeating this process of bouncing back for the fourth time

It will be (48 + 24 + 12 + 6) = 90 feet

Answer:

Negation is the correct answer to the given question

Step-by-step explanation:

The main objective of Negation is to evaluated the inverse of a specified computational statement or the conditional statement. If the conditional statement is true then the negating statement is false or if the  conditional statement is false then the negating statement is True .The negation is represented by the symbol ~ .

For example :

F:      Number is 5.

~F:    Number is not 5.

Conditional statement         Negation(~)

True                                          False

False                                         True

All the other option are not determine the inverse of the conditional statement so these are incorrect option .

Roger has 3.10 consisting of quarters dimes and nickles. The number of nickles was 3 less than the number of dimes. The number of dimes was 5 more than the number of quarters. How many coins of each type did he use?

Please help me, thank you very much!! <3

Answers

Answer:

5 dimes 2 nickels 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

      d = number of dimes

      q = number of quarters

n = d - 3 (The number of nickles was 3 less than the number of dimes)

d= q - 5 (The number of dimes was 5 more than the number of quarters)

0.05n + 0.1d + 0.25q = 3.1

Use substitution:

n=q-8

0.05n + 0.1d + 0.25q = 3.1

0.05(q-8) + 0.1(q-5) + 0.25q = 3.1

0.05q-.4 + 0.1q -.5 +0.25q = 3.1

0.4q-0.9=3.1

0.4q=4

q = 10

n =q-8    n = 10-8     n=2

d=q - 5     d = 10-5     d = 5

Answer:

x = 50 degree found by working out c and d

y = 35 degree

z = 105 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

c is solved 180-85 = 95 as all straight lines equal (180)

d is solved 85-35 = 50 as it is alternate of c (85)

x is found  85 - 35 = 50 degree as it is part of d and not supplementary

y is found  180-95 = 85 then 85-50 = 35 as angles are adjacent and add up to 180 degree.

z is found 180-75 = 105 as angles are adjacent and add upto 180 degree but z is also alternate to missing c angle

A restaurant bill is $27.50. If the sales tax is 7.5% and a 20% tip is added, what is the total cost of the meal?

(PLEASE ANSWER ASAP)

Answers

Answer:

35.06

Step-by-step explanation:

So you  have to multiply 27.50 by 0.075 to find the sales tax.

2.0625 ≈ 2.06

If the tip is off the original price, you multiply 27.50 by 0.2.

5.5

The whole meal is 27.50 + 5.50 + 2.06 = 35.06

Total cost of meal is $35.06.

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is a percentage. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it by its entirety and then multiply it by 100. The proportion therefore refers to a component per hundred. Per 100 is what the word percent means. The letter "%" stands for it.

Given that,

The bill amount = $27.50

tax amount = 7.5%

tip amount = 20%

Now 7.5 % of bill amount

=  27.50x 7.5/100

=  27.50 x 0.075

=2.0625

≈ 2.06

Now 20% of bill amount is

= 27.50 x 20/100

= 27.50x0.2

= 5.5

Now,

The total cost

=  27.50 + 5.50 + 2.06

= 35.06

Hence $35.06 is the total cost.

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).

Answers

Answer:

(40/3)*pi

Step-by-step explanation:

lets first find the area of the little circle

A=pi*r^2

A=pi*3^2

A=9pi

Now, lets find the area of the big circle

A=pi*r^2

A=pi*(3+4)^2

A=pi*7^2

A=49pi

now lets subtract the area of the little circle from the area of the big circle

49pi-9pi=40pi, now we found the area of the "bagel)

lets find what portion of the bagel is the shaded region

120/360=1/3

now lets multiply the bagel area by the fraction

40pi*(1/3)=

(40/3)*pi   or  (40*pi)/3

Area of the shaded regions is equal to 7π/3

What is the area and circumference of a circle?

The circumference (or) perimeter of a circle = 2πr units. The area of a circle = πr2 square units. Where r is the radius of the circle. The circumference of the circle or the perimeter of the circle is the measurement of the boundary of the circle. Whereas the area of the circle defines the region occupied by the circle.

Given here: radius of the smaller circle= 3 and larger circle =4 cm

Now A = (θ/360°) × πr2

θ is the sector angle subtended by the arcs at the center (in degrees), r is the radius of the circle. If the subtended angle θ is in radians, the area is given by, A = 1/2 × r² × θ.

Thus we have  Area ADBC= 1/2 × 16×2π/3 -1/2×9×2π/3

                                              =16π/3 -3π

                                               =7π/3

Hence, Area of the shaded regions is equal to 7π/3
