Select and use the most direct method to solve 2x(x + 1.5) = -1. Describe and justify the methods you used to solve the quadrati

miskamm [114]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A quadratic equation,

2x(x + 1.5) = -1

We need to solve the quadratic equation. Firstly we need to simplify the above equation to form it as $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

So,

$2x^2+3x=-1\\\\2x^2+3x+1=0$

Here, a = 2, b = 3 and c = 1

The roots of the given equation can be given by :

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

Putting all the values we get :

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2+4ac} }{2a}, \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2+4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}, \dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3+1}{4}, \dfrac{-3-1}{4}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}, -1$

So, the roots of the given equation is -1/2 and -1.

bennett was visiting five cities that lie on a coordinate grid at A(-2,3), B(2,7), C(7,8), D(6,3) and E(2,-1). What is the midpo

bezimeni [28]

The midpoint between A and E is (0,1)

<h3>How to determine the midpoint between A and E?</h3>

The coordinates of the cities are given as:

A(-2,3), B(2,7), C(7,8), D(6,3) and E(2,-1).

From the above, we have:

A = (-2,3)

E = (2,-1)

The midpoint between A and E is calculated using

Midpoint = 1/2 * (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Midpoint = 1/2 * (-2 + 2, 3 - 1)

This gives

Midpoint = 1/2 * (0, 2)

Evaluate the product

Midpoint = (0, 1)

Hence, the midpoint between A and E is (0,1)
