The weight of the math and the history book are 72 and 96 ounces respectively.

<h3>How to find the weight of a book?</h3>

A history book weights 24 oz more than a math book.

Therefore,

let

x = weight of math book

weight of history book = 24 + x

The math book is 75% the weight of the history book.

Therefore,

math book weight = 75 / 100 (24 + x)

x = 75 / 100 (24 + x)

x = 1800 + 75x / 100

100x =  1800 + 75x

100x - 75x =  1800

25x = 1800

x = 1800 / 25

x = 72

Therefore,

weight of math book = 72 ounces

weight of history book = 72 + 24 = 96 ounces.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x
OleMash [197]

ANSWER



x=1.39 to the nearest hundredth.



EXPLANATION



We have the equation,



0=2x^2+3x-8



Which can be rewritten as



2x^2+3x-8=0

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

ax^2+bx+c=0


a=2,b=3,c=-8


The quadratic formula is given by;


x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}


We now substitute all the values in to the formula;


x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}

We simplify to obtain;

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}


x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}


We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;


x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}


This implies that;


x=-2.89

Or

x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}


This will evaluate to;


x=1.39

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

x \approx 1.39
