Solve 5x^2 = 10x + 4 Give your answers to 2 decimal places. [4 marks]

5x^2 = 10x + 4 5x^2 - 10x = 4 5x^2 - 10x - 4 = 0 ax^2 +bx +c = 0 x = (-b (+/-) ( b 2 -4ac) 1/2 ) /(2a) x = (--10 (+/-) ((-10) 2 - (4 x 5 x -4)) 1/2 )/(2 x 5) x = (10 (+/-) (100 + 80) 1/2 )/10 x = (10 (+/-) (...

A block of mass 5kg is on a rough slope inclined at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal, it is at the point of sliding down the slope. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the block and the slope.

If the block is at the point of sliding, we know the frictional force, F, is at it's maximuim, F = kR, where k is the coefficient of friction and R is the reaction force.As we know the mass of the block, the...

work out the area of a trapezium where the height is 4mm, the top length is 8mm and the bottom length is 12.5mm

the formula for area of a trapezium = 0.5(a+b)htherefore, a = 8, b = 12.5, h = 4therefore, the total area would be 41mm squared
