Brahmagupta solved a quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx = c using the formula x =, which involved only one solution. Using

Brahmagupta’s method, the solution to the quadratic equation x2 + 7x = 8 would be x = 1. Using modern methods, the first step in solving the quadratic equation x2 + 7x = 8 would be to put it in standard form by . What is the second solution?

X² + 7x - 8 = 0; product = -8 times 1 = -8; sum = 7; {-1, 8}; x² - 1x + 8x - 8 = 0; x(x - 1) + 8(x - 1) = 0; thus, x + 8 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, leading to x = -8.

The price for 3 sandwiches amounts to $18. Since the cost, c, of a ham sandwich directly correlates with the quantity, n, and is told that c equals $54 for 9 sandwiches, the cost per sandwich is $6. Multiplying $6 by 3 gives a total of $18.

Stackable polystyrene cups have a height h1=12.5 cm. Two stacked cups have a height of h2=14 cm. Three stacked cups have a heigh
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following measurements:

Height of one cup = 12.5 cm,

Height of two cups stacked = 14 cm,

Height of three cups stacked = 15.5 cm,

...and so on.

This situation can be described by an arithmetic sequence,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

The first term is defined as a = 12.5,

with a common difference of d = 1.5 cm.

Thus, the height of x stacked cups is given by

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

As per the problem,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59.

Therefore, you will need approximately 59 stacked cups.

tester [12383]

Answer:

\text{Riemann sum }=\sum \frac{3}{8}(8-h)Dh

\text{Area =}\int_{a}^{b} \frac{3}{8}(8-h)Dh

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle's height measures 8 and the base length is 3, we can apply the concept of similar triangles to represent the base of the smaller triangle in relation to h.

The height of the smaller triangle will be (8-h).

Denote x as the base of the smaller triangle. Thus, by utilizing the properties of similar triangles, we can establish ratios of the corresponding sides as illustrated below:

\frac{8-h}{x} =\frac{8}{3} \\x=\frac{3}{8}(8-h)

This allows us to express the area of the small strip with length x and thickness Dh as follows:

DA=x*Dh\\DA=\frac{3}{8}(8-h)Dh

The desired Riemann sum can be articulated as:

\text{Riemann sum }=\sum \frac{3}{8}(8-h)Dh

The necessary areas can be represented as:

\text{Area =}\int_{a}^{b} \frac{3}{8}(8-h)Dh

Your remaining answers are accurate.:)
