- Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros of the quadratic equation. Y=3x^2+48x+180arrow_forwardM = log The formula determines the magnitude of an earthquake, where / is the intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a "standard earthquake." How many times stronger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6? Show your work.arrow_forwardNow consider equations of the form ×-a=v = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1. (f) Create an equation of this form that has 7 as a solution and an extraneous solution. Give the extraneous solution. (g) What must be true about the value of bx + c to ensure that there is a real number solution to the equation? Explain.arrow_forward
- The equation ×+ 2 = √3x+10 is of the form ×+ a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b > 1. Using this equation as a model, create your own equation that has extraneous solutions. (d) Using trial and error with numbers for a, b, and c, create an equation of the form x + a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1 such that 7 is a solution and there is an extraneous solution. (Hint: Substitute 7 for x, and choose a value for a. Then square both sides so you can choose a, b, and c that will make the equation true.) (e) Solve the equation you created in Part 2a.arrow_forwardA basketball player made 12 out of 15 free throws she attempted. She wants to know how many consecutive free throws she would have to make to raise the percent of successful free throws to 85%. (a) Write an equation to represent this situation. (b) Solve the equation. How many consecutive free throws would she have to make to raise her percent to 85%?arrow_forwardA boat is 15 ft away from a point perpendicular to the shoreline. A person stands at a point down the shoreline so that a 65° angle is formed between the closest point to the boat, the person, and the boat. How far is the person from the boat? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show your work. boat 15 ft d 65° personarrow_forward
