Answer:
-5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I find simplest form to be easier to get to if the leading coefficient is 1. Dividing by 16, we have ...
x^2 +5/2x +27/16 = 0
Completing the square by adding and subtracting the square of half the x-coefficient, we get ...
(x^2 +5/2x +25/16) +27/16 -25/16 = 0
(x +5/4)^2 = 2/16
Subtracting 2/16, taking the square root, and subtracting 5/4 gives ...
x +5/4 = ±√(-2/16)
x = -5/4 ±i(√2)/4
The roots are -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4.
<u>|4x + 2| + 6 = 0</u>
Subtract 6 from each side: |4x + 2| = -6
But the absolute value of a number is always positive.
No value of 'x' can ever make |4x + 2| negative.
So the equation has <em>no solution</em>.
Answer:
Oakdale
Step-by-step explanation:
The median can be seen inside the rectangle in the box-and whisker plot. It is the point in the middle, cutting the rectangle in two. Looking at the plots, Oakdale has a lower median.

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you want to find x such that ...
2/7 = x/(x +10)
2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)
20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

<em>Additional comment</em>
You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
Total = Principal * e^(rate*years)
Total = 4,500 * 2.718281828459^(.02*4)
Total = 4,500 * 2.718281828459^(.08)
