Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to get the answer to this

Quadratic Formula: -b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

Once we input A, B, and C into this, and solve any multiplication, we get

x = -1 +- √1 + 20/2

We divide by 2a, which 2a = 2.

-0.5 +- 10.5.

these are the following values of x:

x = 10

x = 11

Pretty sure this is it, hope it helps!

Aljan and Bella are both driving from Cleveland to Chicago. Aljan leaves at

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Bella will pass Ajjan after 4h and they will have travelled 260 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the number of hours, "x", that it'll take for Bella to pass Aljan, we need to find the value of "x" that makes both equations equal. Therefore,

$60*x + 20 = 65*x\\65*x - 60*x = 20\\5*x = 20\\x = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

In order to calculate the distance they traveled, we must use this value for "x" in any of the equations, as done below:

$y = 65*4\\y = 260$

Bella will pass Ajjan after 4h and they will have travelled 260 miles.

for f(x)=1/x-5 and g(x)=x^2+2 find the expression for g(x) and substitute the value of g(x) into the function in place of x to f

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

f(x) = (1/x) - 5

g(x) = x^2 + 2

=> f[g(x)] = [1/(x^2 +2)] - 5
