Answer: k = {8, -8}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In order for a quadratic equation to have exactly one solution, the discriminant must equal zero. → b² - 4ac = 0
4x² + kx + 4 = 0
↓ ↓ ↓
a=4 b=k c=4
b² - 4ac = 0
k² - 4(4)(4) = 0
k² = 64
k = √64
k = ± 8
C since 25ab and 5ba both have the terms "a" and "b"
D+Q=61 => D=61-Q
3+D=Q
10D+25Q=1090
10(61-Q) + 25Q=1090
610-10Q+25Q=1090
610+15Q=1090
-610 -610
15Q=480
480/15=32
32 quarters
Answer:
A line perpendicular to another has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. The negative reciprocal of the original line is –2, and is thus the slope of its perpendicular line.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².
The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.
Consider 3 cases
Case (a): x < 1,
Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x² + x ≥ 1
Solve x² + x - 1 =
x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
Reject the negative length.
Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.
Case (b): x = 1
This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
The sides are 1, 1 and 1.
Case (c): x>1
In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
Reject the negative answr.
The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.
Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
