Solve the equation x^2+6x= -11/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]1 year ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, move the -11/4 to the other side, so the expression can equal 0.

x^2+6x+11/4=0

To make the equation easier to work with, multiply both sides by 4, cancelling out the fraction.

4x^2+24x+11=0

There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation (factoring, quadratic formula, completing the square).

Solving this equation by factoring is the easiest. Factoring with a leading coefficient greater than one can be difficult and there are many ways to accomplish it. The way I'm going to do it is to first find the factors of 4x^2 and then the factors of 11. And then multiply across, add the middle terms (derived from multiplying) and try to make it equal 24x.

4x^2:      24x         11:

2x         22x          11

2x           2x            1

           24x (works)

I'll then take the factors diagonal. (2x+1)(2x+11)=0

So x=-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{11}{2}

Ariana bought 5 dozen pears at $36 per dozen . She discovered that 7 were rotten and she sold the rest at $4.50 each . Calculate
GrogVix [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pears

12 pears = $36

1 pear = 36/12 = $3

Total Cost of Pears = No. of pears x price of 1 pear

= (5x12) x 3

= 60 x 3

= $180

Sale of Pears = Price per pear x (Total Pears bought - Rotten Pears)

= $4.50 x (5x12-7)

= $4.50 x 53

= $238.50

Profit/Loss = Sale of Pears - Total Cost of Pears

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.50

Ariana made a profit of $58.50.

You spent 1/2 of your money at the theater and 1/4 at an arcade. you have $17.50 left. How much money did you originally have?
4vir4ik [10]
You basically add 17.50+17.50=35 and add 35+35=70, reason being is because the 35 is the 1/2 and 17.50 is the 1/4 so 70 is your answer

Write the coordinate rule to describe The translasion​
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The coordinates are:

A ( 4,7 )

B ( 8,10 )

c ( 7,7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

You could take the original coordinates and add the x value with 3 and y value with 6. Like for example...

The original coordinates of C is ( 4,1 ). Hence you could add the x value with 3 and y value with 6. 4 + 3 and 1 + 6 giving you the coordinates after translation = ( 7,7 )
