Answer:

$1.+4,-4\\2. +9,-9\\3. +10,-10\\4. +12, -12\\5. +5, -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution for quadratic equations, focus on extracting the square root of the constant term:

$x^{2} =16\\x=\sqrt{16}\\ x= +4, -4$

$t^{2} =16\\t=\sqrt{81}\\ x= +9, -9$

$r^{2} =100\\r=\sqrt{100}\\ x= +10, -10$

$x^{2} -144=0\\x=\sqrt{144}\\ x= +12, -12$

$2s^{2}=50\\s^{2}=\frac{50}{2} \\s=\sqrt{25}\\ s= +5, -5$

Keep in mind, every square root yields both positive and negative values as answers.

Answer:

1. x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

By extracting the square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\$

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Again, take the square root of each side

$\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}$

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

$r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}$

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

We rewrite as x²=144

Applying square roots

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}$

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

$\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}$

s=±5 ..

A sandbox is 2.5 m wide and 3.4 m long.

zzz [4002]

Answer:

2.55 cubic meters of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

The inquiry focuses on how much sand is needed to completely fill the sandbox. As it is a three-dimensional shape, the concept of 'Volume' is applicable. Volume is determined through the formula L × W × H. By substituting the relevant variables into this equation, you arrive at the final solution. I hope this offers clarity!

A salesperson has to drive 500 miles. For the first three hours she drove at 65 mi/h. For the next two hours she drove at 55 mil

AnnZ [3868]

Short answer: 195
First, you multiply 65 by 3, yielding 195 miles.
Then, multiplying 55 by 2 gives you 110 miles.

By summing both distances, you arrive at 305.
From 500, if you subtract 305, you find =195.

Billy graphed the system of linear equations to find an approximate solution. y = A system of equations. y equals negative Start

babunello [3607]

Response:

Second option: $(2.2, -1.4)$

Third option: $(2.2, -1.35)$

Detailed explanation:

The missing graph has been provided.

The attached image illustrates the graphing of the following system of linear equations:

$\left \{ {{y=-\frac{7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}} \atop {y=\frac{3}{4}x-3}} \right.$

Notice the intersection of the lines.

According to the definition, if lines in a system of equations intersect, then there is only one solution. This implies that the intersection point is the solution to that system. This can be expressed as:

$(x,y)$
