The quadratic equation x² - 5x - 4 = 0 has two real roots as 41 > 0.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of degree two.

We know in a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, The discriminant D is        b² - 4ac.

If D > 0 the quadratic equation has two real roots.

If D = 0 the quadratic equation has one real root.

If D < 0 the quadratic equation has no real roots.

∴ In x² - 5x - 4 = 0,

Discriminant D is b² - 4ac.

= (-5)² - 4.1.(-4).

= 25 + 16.

= 41.

∴ D > 0 and the quadratic equation has two real roots.

Please help me!! I really need it!! I Could fail the 7th grade
babymother [125]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of one ticket   = $4

Price of t tickets = 4t

1) 4t + 72 > 400

   t >  (400-72)/4

2) 4t + 72 > 400      

4t + 72 - 72 > 400 - 72    {subtract 72 from both sides}

4t > 328

4t/4 > 328/4      {divide both sides  by 4}

t >  82

Which of the following is the solution set to the inequality −25x+14&gt;20? Select one: A. x &lt; -64 B. x &gt; -64 C. x &lt; -1
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x< -0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is going to sound stupid, but I got x< -0.24 which is just not an option, but this is how I got it...

-25x+14>20

subtract 14 from each side

-25x>6

divide each side by -25

x< -0.24

I switch the way the sign was facing bc I divided by a negative.

Now I know that this must be wrong, but it makes the most sense because I am pretty sure I did all of the math right. Sorry this probably didnt help , but I did a lot of work to try and get the right answer, so Im not putting that work to waste

A couple is required by their lender to have a down payment of 20% of the purchase price of the home they want to buy. If the co
Stella [2.4K]

Down payment is 20% of the price of the home. Since the couple saved $35,000, and assuming they will pay the whole money as down payment, the highest priced home they can get is a price whose 20% is $35,000.

We can setup an equation in x (being the price of home) to get the price of the most expensive home they can buy.

<em>Which number (x) , multiplied by 20%, is equal to $35,000?</em>

<em>x(0.2)=35,000\\x=\frac{35,000}{0.2} \\x=175,000</em>

So, the most expensive house they can buy is worth $175,000.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

10 ways

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

130 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above questions using Combination

Combination = C(n, r) = nCr

= n!/n! ×(n - r)!

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

We have 5 pairs of gloves. Therefore, the number of ways to select 2 gloves =5C2

= 5!/2! × (5 - 2)!

= 5!/2! × 3!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/(2 × 1) × (3 × 2 × 1)!

= 10 ways.

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

We are told to select 4 gloves out of the 10 gloves = 10C4

We have 5 pairs, we need to make sure that two out of the selected 4 make a pair = 5 × 2⁴

= 80

Hence,

10C4 - 5C4

= [10!/4! × (10 - 4)!] - 80

= 210 - 80

= 130 ways
