8p² - 16p = 10
8p² - 16p - 10 = 0 Divide through by 2
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
Multiply first and last coefficients: 4*-5 = -20
We look for two numbers that multiply to give -20, and add to give -8
Those two numbers are 2 and -10.
Check: 2*-10 = -20 2 + -10 = -8
We replace the middle term of -8p in the quadratic expression with 2p -10p
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
4p² + 2p - 10p - 5 = 0
2p(2p + 1) - 5(2p + 1) = 0
(2p + 1)(2p - 5) = 0
2p + 1 = 0 or 2p + 5 = 0
2p = 0 -1 2p = 0 - 5
2p = -1 2p = -5
p = -1/2 p = -5/2
The solutions are p = -1/2 or -5/2
55% of 1800 = 0.55(1800) = 990...so there are 990 girls in the school
30% of 990 = 0.30(990) = 297...so there are 297 girls who take the bus
You just add both of the powers , so 6-3 is 3
the answer is 5^3
Put the first equation in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b. Start by subtracting y from both sides.
2x - y = -10, subtract 2x from both sides.
-y = -10 - 2x
Divide both sides by negative one.
y = 10 + 2x
To find the slope when the equations are in slope-intercept form you look at the coefficient of x. The first equation has the slope of 2 (which we just found), and the second equation has the slope of -2.
Parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. Since 2 and -2 are neither of these, your answer is neither.
