What is the first step in solving the quadratic equation x2 – 40 = 0?A) taking the square root of both sides of the equationB) adding 40 to both sides of the equationC) squaring both sides of the equationD) subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "B", we first need to add 40 to both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the following quadratic equation:

[tex]x^2 - 40 = 0[/tex]

The first step to solve it is to isolate the independent variable, "x". To do that we must add +40 on both sides of the equation, since that way the "-40" on the left will be gone in a way that maintains the validity of the equation as shown below:

[tex]x^2 - 40 = 0\\x^2 - 40 + 40 = 40\\x^2 = 40[/tex]

After this step we take the square root of both sides:

[tex]\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{40}\\x = \pm \sqrt{40}\\x = \pm \sqrt{4*10}\\x = \pm 2*\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Therefore the correct answer is "B".

GIVE BRAINLIEST :) Morgan can paint a room in 10 hours, while Sophia can paint it in 4 hours. If Morgan paints for x hours and Sophia paints for y hours, they will finish half of the painting, while if Morgan paints for y hours and Sophia paints for x hours they will paint the whole room. Find the ordered pair (x,y), expressing both x and y as simplified fractions.

Answers

Answer:

x,y =  ( 3 17/21  ,  10/21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Painting the room = 1    whole job

Morgan rate =   1/10

Sophia rate  =  1/4

Rate x time = 1    job

1/10 x   + 1/4 y  = 1/2      and

1/10 y  +  1/4 x  = 1          solve for x,y

Multiply the top equation by - 2.5

(-2.5)/10 x   - (2.5/4) y = -1.25    

-1/4 x  - 5/8 y =  -1 .25

 and add to the second equation to get

1/10 y  - 5/8 y = -.25    solve for y

4/40 y - 25/40 y = -.25

-21/40 y = - .25

y =  10/21  hr                           Substitute this into one of the original equations to find 'x'

 

1/10  (10/21) + 1/4 x = 1

1/21 + 1/4 x = 1

1/4 x = 20/21

x = 80/21                                         x,y =  ( 3 17/21  ,  10/21)

Sean is playing a board game. To win he needs to roll a sum of 10 or more with a pair of dice on his next turn. There are 11 possible sums when you roll 2 dice and 3 of these outcomes will result in him winning this game. Sean therefore says that the probability that he will win the game is 3/11. Explain the mistake in Sean's thinking.

Answers

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two fair dice is rolled once,

To win sum of the two dice should equal 10 or more

To get a sum equal 10 or more,

The total possible outcome when two dice is rolled once = 6^2 = 36

Sample space is attached below

Total required outcome to win (probability of having a sum of 10 or more)

n(sum of 10 or more) = 6

Therefore, probability of winning equals :

P(winning) = (Total required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(winning) = n(sum of 10 or more) / total possible outcomes

P(winning) = 6/36 = 1/6

1. If (1, -2) is a solution of a linear equation 2x – y = p, then find the value of p.​

Answers

Answer:

Just put the values of x and y

x = 1

y = -2

2x – y = p

2(1) - (- 2) = p

p = 4

Answer:

The value of p is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find p, you have to substitute the value of x and y into the linear equation :

[tex]2x - y = p[/tex]

[tex]let \: x = 1 \\ let \: y = - 2[/tex]

[tex]2(1) - ( - 2) = p[/tex]

Add 9 to both sides:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to add 9 to both sides to eliminate -9 on the left side :

[tex]7a - 9 = 12[/tex]

[tex]7a - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9[/tex]

[tex]7a = 21[/tex]

A manufacturer designs a circular ornament with lines of glitter as shown. Identify m∠PSR.



m=60


m=30


m=90


m=120

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the arc QR⏜ intercepted by the inscribed ∠QPR is given.

According to the Inscribed Angle Theorem, the measure of the inscribed angle is equal to one-half the measure of the arc.

m∠QPR=12mQR⏜

Substitute 60° for mQR⏜.

m∠QPR=12(60°)

Simplify.

m∠QPR=30°

The figure shows the same circle as in the beginning of the task. Triangle P R S is highlighted in red. Angle S P R measures 30 degrees.

It is given that m∠SRP=30°. Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find the measure of the unknown ∠PSR.

m∠SRP+m∠SPR+m∠PSR=180°

Substitute the known values.

30°+30°+m∠PSR=180°

Simplify.

60°+m∠PSR=180°

Subtract 60° from both sides.

m∠PSR=120°

Therefore, m∠PSR=120°.

Here is some information about a play starts at 7:30pm first act last 46 minutes interval lasts 20 minutes second act last 53 minutes at what time does the second act end

Answers

Answer:

9:29 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us add the number of minutes the first act, interval and second act lasted:

46 + 20 + 53 = 119 minutes

Converting this to hours and minutes:

60 minutes = 1 hour

119 minutes = 1 hour 59 minutes

Therefore, the time that the second act ends is:

  H       M

  7   :   30 PM

+ 1    :  59  

  9   :   29

The second act will end by 9:29 PM

a salesperson earns a commission based on the number and type of vechile sold.A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns $4,800.A person selling 8 cars and 1 truck earns $4,600.How much does a salesperson earn for selling 2 cars and 3 trucks?​

Answers

Answer:

$2800

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide $4800 by 3 which will give you $1600 which is the price for 2 cars and 1 truck.

= [tex]\frac{4800}{3} = $1600[/tex]

Next, subtract the $1600, which is the price of 2 cars and 1 truck  from $4600, which is the price of 8 cars and 1 truck giving you the price of 6 cars.

$4600 - $1600 = $3000

Now divide the $3000, the price of six cars, by three to get the price of 2 cars.

[tex]\frac{3000}{3} = $1000[/tex]

Lastly, multiply the $1000 by 2 to get the price of 4 cars. Then subtract this $2000, the price of 4 cars from the $4800, the price of 6 cars and three trucks to give you the price of 2 cars and 3 trucks.

$4800 - $1000 = $2800

Answer:

The area of the surface of the water is approximately 254 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the bowl of the birdbath is full, the top surface area of the water is equal to the area of the circumference that contours the bowl, therefore in order to calculate its area we need to apply the following formula:

[tex]area = \pi*r^2\\r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 \text{ in}\\area = 3.14159*(9)^2 = 254.46879 \text{ in}^2[/tex]
