eg: x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+7+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B-5x%2B7+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-5%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A7=-3.

The discriminant -3 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -3 is + or - sqrt%28+3%29+=+1.73205080756888.

The solution is , or
Here's your graph:

example 2:
x%5E2+-+x+-12+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-1%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-12=49.

Discriminant d=49 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--1%2B-sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29%2Bsqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+4
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29-sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-3

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12+=+%28x-4%29%2A%28x--3%29
Again, the answer is: 4, -3. Here's your graph:

Travel_Word_Problems/415413: Truck is driving 60mph a car leaves 7 minutes later going 72mph how long before the car catches the truck

Answer 291248 by Alan3354(30959) About Me  on 2011-02-28 17:23:09 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
60 mi/hr = 1 mile/minute
The truck is 7 miles ahead (1*7)
The car "gains on" the truck at 12 mph (72 - 60)
It'll take 7/12 hours = 35 minutes
----------------------------------
PS "gains on" is a common term, but it's better to consider a different frame of reference.
The speed of the car relative to the truck is 12 mi/hr is a better perspective.

Flying into the wind, an aircraft made a 360 km trip in 2 hours. The return trip with a tail wind took 90 minutes. Find the speed of the plane and the wind.
------------
360/2 = 180 km/hr
360/1.5 = 240 km/hr
The airspeed is the average = (180 + 240)/2 = 210 km/hr
The windspeed is the difference = 240 - 210 = 30 km/hr

d = rt
Train A:
250 = (r+18)t
t = 250/(r+18)
Train B:
160 = rt
t = 160/r
-----------
250/(r+18) = 160/r

Why did you put quotes around parallel?
----------------------
A line and a point example.
Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2)
-----------------
Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y.
9x+3y = 36
3y= - 9x + 36
y = -3x + 12
The slope, m = -3
------------------
The slope of lines parallel is the same.
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3
----------------
Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b.
2 = (1/3)*1 + b
b = 5/3
The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form)
x - 3y = -5 (standard form)

Half the deck is black cards, so that's 1/2.

At noon a private plane left Austin for Los Angeles, 2100 km away, flying at 500km/hr. One hour later a jet left Los Angeles for Austin at 700km/hr. At what time will they meet?
------------------------------
In 1 hour, the 1st plane is 500 km away (500 km/hr * 1 hr)
The 2nd plane gains on the 1st at 200 km/hr (700 - 500)
500/200 = 2.5 hours
1300 + 2.5 hours = 1530 (3:30 PM, if you're not an aviator)
---------------
PS Planes use knots, not km/hr

Find the area of polygon ABCD if the coordinates of the vertices are A(5,-1), B(9,2), C(9,9), and D(0,5).
-------------------
A - B - C- D-A
+5 +9 +9 +0 +5
-1 +2 +9 +5 -1
-------------------
Add diagonals from upper left
5*2 + 9*9 + 9*5 = 10 + 81 + 45 = 136
Add diagonals from lower left
-1*9 + 2*9 + 9*0 + 5*5 = -9 + 18 + 25 = 34
-----------
Difference = 102
Area = 102/2 = 51 sq units

The interior + exterior = 180
I = 5E
E + I = 180
5E + E = 180
E = 36
=========
The sum of exterior angles for ALL polygons is 360 degs
360/36 = 10 sides

decribe the y values as the line moves from left to right across the coordinate plane:7x+3y=24

Solve for y
y = (-7/3)x + 8
------------
As x increases, y decreases. The slope is -7/3 so for each change of 1 in x, y decreases 7/3


Travel_Word_Problems/414335: Thanks for your help.

Shouldn't the 500 meters be converted to .5km and the 1000 meters be converted to 1km.
Same as converting 26400ft. to miles, to get mph. 26400ft./5280ft. = 5 miles.
My calculation would be (.5km + 1km / 180km/h) x 60 mins. = .5 minutes.
Which equals 30 seconds.
Question 1157: Two trains, one 500 meters long and the other 1000 meters long, are traveling in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The first train is traveling at 100km/h and the other at 80km/h. How long will it take for the trains to pass each other from the moment the locomotives are at the same point?
Answer by khwang(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The diagram as below.
500 m 100 km/h ->
A<------>B (1st train)
C<------------->D (2nd train)
<- 80 km/h 1000 m
When they pass each other after t hrs,diagram as
A B
<------>
<------------->
C D
After t hrs, B moves 100 t km and C moves 80 t km.
So we have 100 t + 80 t = BC = CD + AB = 1000+ 500
So, 180 t = 1500, t = 25/3 hrs
[Or get t by (1000+ 500)/(100+80) directly.
Answer: it takes 25/3 hrs for the trains to pass each other
from the moment the locomotives are at the same point.
Or get t by (1000 + 500)/ (1000+ 60) directly.

300 gallons of 85% alcohol has 300*0.85 = 255 gallons of alcohol
-----------
For 255 gallons to be 70%, water has to be 30%
Total = 255/0.7 = 2550/7 =~ 364.286
Add 364.219 - 300 = 64.286 gallons of water
