Unit rate in this case would be pages per minute so divide (5/8)pages÷(2/3)minute.
Dividing a fraction can be done as multiplying by the reciprocal.
(5/8)·(3/2)=15/16pages per minute or 0.9375 pages/min.
Answer:
9x
9 • x
9(x)
9*x
I think that's what the question means?
Your problem statement is missing the formula Carrie came up with. It should be The one she started with, divided by m.
... G/m = a
For the values given, the acceleration is
... (7.92 N)/(3.6 kg) = 2.2 m/s²
_____
The unit of newtons is abbreviated N.
1 N = 1 kg·m/s² so dividing by kilograms leaves units of m/s², which are the units of acceleration.
Very likely, your question is not concerned with the units, just the number: 2.2. It's a straight division problem, easily handled by hand, by calculator, or in your head (after you realize 7.92 = 7.2×1.1 = 2×3.6×1.1).
The answer is down the page under ANSWER. here is a quick explanation first.
okay, i assume your equation is actually like this:
minus x squared plus 4 x minus
note: the proper way to type this electronically is: -x^2 + 4x - 2.
The equation you gave is known as a quadratic equation.
if you think about it, the generic (general) way of writing this quadratic equation is:
ax^2 + bx + c
a, b and c are just numbers
eg.
2x^2 + 7x + 4
looking at the general equation above
a is 2
b is 7
c is 4
you can put negatives in as well, to find out a, b and c
eg
-2x^2 - 6x - 12
so, what is a b and c?
a is -2 (must say its negative)
b is - 6 (must say negative)
c is - 12 ( again, remember its a negative number)
ANSWER
IF YOU JUST WANT THE ANSWER.
THE DISCRIMINANT IS:
4 squared minus (4 times -1 times -2)
this is 16 - 8
solution of discriminant is 8
explanation:
so, now we cleared that up.
in any quadratic equation ( like the equation you gave), the discriminant is (in general)
b2 - 4ac
use this to solve it for any quadratic equation for the discriminant
