Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)
2
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
-10 - 5 + 2 + 6 + 17 = 10
10 / 5 = 2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if log<u>b</u><u> </u>(x) = a.

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

9) Add 7 to both sides.

10) Switch sides.

<u>Therefor</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>7</u><u>.</u>
Answer:
11.781 cubic inches (round accordingly)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cone is:

where r is the radius and h is the height.
For our ice cream cone:
d = 3 inches
r = 1.5 inches (the radius is half of the diameter)
h= 5 inches
So all we have to do is plug in our values and solve for the volume:

So our final answer is around 11.8 cubic inches.
Answer:
15 possible outcomes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each one of these methodologies are not related to one another and they do not need to be chosen in any order or consecutively then the possible outcomes would only need to be added all together to calculate the total possible outcomes. Since each outcome is independent. Therefore,
m1 = 5 outcomes
m2 = 2 outcomes
m3 = 4 outcomes
m4 = 4 outcomes
5 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 15
we can see that there are a total of 15 possible outcomes
