To solve this problem, you will use the distributive property to create an equation that can be rearranged and solved using the quadratic formula.

Use the distributive property to distribute 3x into the term (x + 6):

[tex]3x(x+6)=-10[/tex]

[tex]3x^2+18x=-10[/tex]

To create a quadratic equation, add 10 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]3x^2+18x+10=-10+10[/tex]

[tex]3x^2+18x+10=0[/tex]

The quadratic formula is defined as:

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

The model of a quadratic equation is defined as ax² + bx + c = 0. This can be related to our equation.

Therefore:

Set up the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{(18)^2 - 4(3)(10)}}{2(3)}[/tex]

Simplify by using BPEMDAS, which is an acronym for the order of operations:

Brackets

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Use BPEMDAS:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 120}}{6}[/tex]

Simplify the radicand:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{204}}{6}[/tex]

Create a factor tree for 204:

204 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102 and 204.

The largest factor group that creates a perfect square is 4 × 51. Therefore, turn 204 into 4 × 51:

[tex]\sqrt{4\times51}[/tex]

Then, using the Product Property of Square Roots, break this into two radicands:

[tex]\sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{51}[/tex]

Since 4 is a perfect square, it can be evaluated:

[tex]2 \times \sqrt{51}[/tex]

To simplify further for easier reading, remove the multiplication symbol:

[tex]2\sqrt{51}[/tex]

Then, substitute for the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm 2\sqrt{51}}{6}[/tex]

This gives us a combined root, which we should separate to make things easier on ourselves.

Separate the roots at the plus-minus symbol:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 + 2\sqrt{51}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 - 2\sqrt{51}}{6}[/tex]

Then, simplify the numerator of the roots by factoring 2 out:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{2(-9 + \sqrt{51})}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{2(-9 - \sqrt{51})}{6}[/tex]

Then, simplify the fraction by reducing 2/6 to 1/3:

[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 + \sqrt{51}}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 - \sqrt{51}}{3}}[/tex]

The final answer to this problem is:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 + \sqrt{51}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 - \sqrt{51}}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

  A. single triangle. C = 8.74°, A = 1.26°, a = 1.01

Step-by-step explanation:

When two sides and an angle are given, the possibility of two (or zero) triangles exists only when the given angle is opposite the shorter of the two given sides. That is not the case here, so the given measures define one unique triangle.

The law of sines tells us the sides and angles have the relation ...

  sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

We can use this first to find angle C:

  sin(C) = c/b·sin(B)

  C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(7/8·sin(170°)) ≈ 8.7394°

  ∠C ≈ 8.74°

Now that we know two angles, we can find the third:

  A = 180° -B -C = 180° -170° -8.74° = 1.26°

  ∠A = 1.26°

Using the law of sines again, we can find the measure of side 'a'.

  a = b·sin(A)/sin(B) = 8·sin(1.26°)/sin(170°) ≈ 1.01346

The measure of segment 'a' is about 1.01 units.

__

Additional comment

If 'a', 'b', and angle A are given, there will be zero triangles if b/a·sin(A) > 1. If b/a·sin(A) < 1 and b > a, there will be two (2) triangles. Otherwise, as here, there will be one unique triangle.

Statement 1 is correct

Angles UST and QSR are complementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are those angles whose addition gives result of 90°

Congruent angles are those angles which are equal to each other. We can say that there values are same.

Here angle RSU is complementary to angle UST.

Therefore there addition is equal to 90°

∠RSU + ∠UST =  90° - (i)

Here angle QSR is congruent to angle RSU.

Therefore their values are equal.

It means ∠QSR =∠RSU -(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) we get

∠QSR + ∠UST =  90°

Notice that the difference in the absolute values of consecutive coefficients is constant:

|-7| - 1 = 6

13 - |-7| = 6

|-19| - 13 = 6

and so on. This means the coefficients in the given series

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^\infty c_i a^{i-1} = \sum_{i=1}^\infty |c_i| (-a)^{i-1} = 1 - 7a + 13a^2 - 19a^3 + \cdots[/tex]

occur in arithmetic progression; in particular, we have first value [tex]c_1 = 1[/tex] and for [tex]n>1[/tex], [tex]|c_i|=|c_{i-1}|+6[/tex]. Solving this recurrence, we end up with

[tex]|c_i| = |c_1| + 6(i-1) \implies |c_i| = 6i - 5[/tex]

So, the sum to [tex]n[/tex] terms of this series is

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (6i-5) (-a)^{i-1} = 6 \underbrace{\sum_{i=1}^n i (-a)^{i-1}}_{S'} - 5 \underbrace{\sum_{i=1}^n (-a)^{i-1}}_S[/tex]

The second sum [tex]S[/tex] is a standard geometric series, which is easy to compute:

[tex]S = 1 - a + a^2 - a^3 + \cdots + (-a)^{n-1}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]-a[/tex] :

[tex]-aS = -a + a^2 - a^3 + a^4 - \cdots + (-a)^n[/tex]

Subtract this from [tex]S[/tex] to eliminate the intermediate terms to end up with

[tex]S - (-aS) = 1 - (-a)^n \implies (1-(-a)) S = 1 - (-a)^n \implies S = \dfrac{1 - (-a)^n}{1 + a}[/tex]

The first sum [tex]S'[/tex] can be handled with simple algebraic manipulation.

[tex]S' = \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i (-a)^{i-1}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (i+1) (-a)^i[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} i (-a)^i + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (-a)^i[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} i (-a)^i + \sum_{i=1}^n (-a)^{i-1}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = \sum_{i=1}^n i (-a)^i - n (-a)^n + S[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = -a \sum_{i=1}^n i (-a)^{i-1} - n (-a)^n + S[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = -a S' - n (-a)^n + \dfrac{1 - (-a)^n}{1 + a}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle (1 + a) S' = \dfrac{1 - (-a)^n - n (1 + a) (-a)^n}{1 + a}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle S' = \dfrac{1 - (n+1)(-a)^n + n (-a)^{n+1}}{(1+a)^2}[/tex]

Putting everything together, we have

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (6i-5) (-a)^{i-1} = 6 S' - 5 S[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (6i-5) (-a)^{i-1} = 6 \dfrac{1 - (n+1)(-a)^n + n (-a)^{n+1}}{(1+a)^2} - 5 \dfrac{1 - (-a)^n}{1 + a}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (6i-5) (-a)^{i-1} =\boxed{\dfrac{1 - 5a - (6n+1) (-a)^n + (6n-5) (-a)^{n+1}}{(1+a)^2}}[/tex]

There are 10,080 different ways in which the friends can seat on the circular table.

There are 9 friends, such that two of them need to be separated by exactly two people.

Because the table is circular, we can consider the first position as the position where Bob is.

Now let's count the number of options for each of the other 8 positions. (counting to the left).

The next two positions have 7 and 6 options respectively (as these can be taken by any of the other 7 friends)

For the next seat, we could seat Anna or one of the remaining 5 friends.

Let's assume we seat Anna there, then for each of the next positions, we will have, respectively, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 options.

The total number of combinations is given by the product between the numbers of options, so we have:

C = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1

But we also need to consider the case where Anna is on the first position (and Bob on the third), so we just need to add a factor equal to 2.

C = 2*(7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 10,080

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a system of equations and asked to solve it by the method of addition. That method requires you add a multiple of one equation to the other so that one of the variables is eliminated. In some cases, this is easier if multiples of both equations are added together. The resulting single-variable equation is then solved in the usual way.

__

The given system of equations is ...

We notice the first equation has the variables on opposite sides of the equal sign, and both their coefficients are 1. The second equation has the variables on the same side of the equal sign, and their coefficients are 0.08 and 0.02.

To eliminate a variable by the "addition method," we need to have the variable on the same side of the equal sign with opposite coefficients. Or, we need to have the variable on opposite sides of the equal sign with the same coefficient.

Both of the x-variables are on the left side, so we need opposite coefficients. We can get that by multiplying the first equation by -0.08, or by multiplying the second equation by -12.5. We judge the first of these choices to be easier.

The y-variables are on opposite sides of the equal sign, so we need equal coefficients. We can get that by multiplying the first equation by 0.02, or the second equation by 50.

We choose to multiply the first equation by 0.02, so we can eliminate the y-variable. Here is the result of doing that, then adding the results

  (0.02)(x) +(0.08x +0.02y) = (0.02)(y +1300) +(350)

  0.10x +0.02y = 0.02y +376 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.10x = 376 . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.02y from both sides. y is eliminated

  x = 3760 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10

Additional comment

We chose to eliminate y for a couple of reasons. x is the amount at the higher rate. We have found that solving for the higher-rate amount usually works best for preventing errors. The other reason is that multiplying by 0.02 results in smaller numbers, which we consider easier to deal with.

Had we multiplied by -0.08 to eliminate x, we would have ...

  -0.08(x) +(0.08x +0.02y) = -0.08(y +1300) +(350)

  0.02y = -0.08y +246

We judge -0.08(1300) +350 harder to calculate mentally, than 0.02(1300) +350.

  0.10y = 246

  y = 2460; x = 2460+1300 = 3760
