Answer:

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.

So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's find a, b, c:

  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

Now let's solve the equation.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x^2−5x−12=0

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12

2x^2+−5x+−12=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

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

x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-12)} }{2(2)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{121} }{4}

x=4 or x=\frac{-3}{2}

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5
stich3 [128]

Question is ;

Complete question is;

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5 feet every 36 hours. Buffalo accumulates snow at a rate of 0.01 inches every minute.

Which city accumulates more snow in 3 days? How much more snow?

Answer:

- Boston accumulates more snow in 3 days.

- It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston accumulates 1.5 feet of snow every 36 hours.

Number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Thus, In 72 hours, Boston would have accumulated; (1.5 × 72)/36 = 3 feet of snow.

Now, Buffalo accumulates 0.01 inches of snow every minute.

In 3 days, number of minutes we have = 60 × 24 × 3 = 4320 minutes

Thus, total snow accumulated in 3 days = 0.01 × 4320/1 = 43.2 inches

Now, let's convert this to ft;

12 inches = 1ft

Thus; 43.2 inches = 43.2 × 1/12 = 3.6ft

Thus, Buffalo accumulates more snow in 3 days.

It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston
