The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

<h3>What is the rate the ice changes?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb

Time = 1/4 hr.

The rate the ice changes is calculated as:

Rate = Change/Time

So, we have

Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the difference

Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the quotient

Rate = -3/8 lb per hr

Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below? x^2-3x+5

Gemiola [76]

Given:

Polynomial $x^2-3x+5$

To find:

The values of x.

Solution:

$x^2-3x+5=0$

Quadratic equation formula:

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

Here $a=1, b=-3, c=5$ .

Substitute the values in the formula, we get

$$x=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 5}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$$x=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9-20}}{2}$

$$x=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{-11}}{2}$

$$x=\frac{3 - \sqrt{-11}}{2} \ \text{and} \ x=\frac{3 + \sqrt{-11}}{2}$

Option E and option F are the roots of the polynomial.

The values of x are $x=\frac{3 - \sqrt{-11}}{2} \ \text{and} \ x=\frac{3 + \sqrt{-11}}{2}$ .
