Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

So when it says simplify the right side, all it's doing is distributing the square root across division.

So when we distribute the square root we get the fraction

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

And it's important to know that you cannot distribute the square root across addition/subtraction, but you can with multiplication.

There's a radical identity that states: \sqrt[n]{a} * \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{ab} and this works both ways, so we can use this to combine like radicals or separate them into multiple. In this case we can separate the square root of 4a^2 into two radicals

\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{\sqrt{4} * \sqrt{a^2}}

And from here it's pretty easy to see that the square root of 4 is 2, and the square root of a^2 is a, since the square exponent and square root just cancel out.

So we get the following expression on the right side

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

Suppose that the mean score of a class of 32 students was 74. the 19 male students in the class had a mean score of 70. what was
andrew-mc [135]
Mean = sum of values / number of values
74 = x/32
2368 = x

70 = y/19
1330 = y

mean for female students = (2368 - 1330)/(32-19) = 79.85

Please help i’m not understanding
ratelena [41]

Answer:

D is not a supported statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Let take them one by one:

A: from table: 0.57; in statement: 0.5

0.57 > 0.5 so this is supported

B: from table: 0.2+0.16=0.36; in statement: 1/3=0.33,

0.36>0.33 so this is supported

C: 0.07 is the least, so this is supported

D: the table DOES NOT show number of students, but proportions. So statement '7 students' IS NOT supported

E: from table 0.20 overslept. 0.2 < 1/4=0.25, so this is supported

Flora has $50 to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $20 and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $
frosja888 [35]

50 ≥ 20 + 6x

She can spend less than 50 or 50 dollars exactly. 20 represents the amount for the jeans. The x represents the t-shirts. 6 represents cost per t-shirt.
