Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

0

Discussion:

For the quadratic ax^2 + b^x + c, the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac. In our case, the discriminant is

(-20)^2 - 4 (4)(25) =

400      - 4 (100)   =

0

(This means the polynomial has a duplicate root. In fact it factors as          (2x-5)^2       ).


Thank you,

MrB

If line ML is a midsegment of triangle IJK, find KJ
laila [671]
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.

A museum sold 95 tickets for $1,025. Each adult ticket was $15, and each child ticket was $7. Let a represent the number of adul
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a + c = 95........eq1

15a + 7c = 1,025....eq2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of ticket sold = 95

Total amount collected = $1,025

Price of each adult ticket = $15

Price of each child ticket = $7

Computation:

Number of adult tickets sold = a

Number of child tickets sold = c

So,

Number of adult tickets sold + Number of child tickets sold = Total number of ticket sold

a + c = 95........eq1

and

15a + 7c = 1,025....eq2

jimmy is moving to a new apartment. he fills a box with 4 books, 5 DVDs, and 2 CD's. when he starts unpacking his new place he p
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

\frac{2}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the probability of him pulling out a book.

There are 11 objects in total, and there are 4 books.

So, the probability of pulling out a book is \frac{4}{11}

Next, find the probability of him pulling out a DVD after.

Since a book was taken out, there are only 10 objects left. There are 5 DVDs.

So, the probability of pulling out a DVD is \frac{5}{10}, or simplified to \frac{1}{2}

To find the probability that this happens in order, multiply the probabilities:

\frac{4}{11} x \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{2}{11}

So, the probability is \frac{2}{11}

Books spontaneously catch on fire in temperatures at or above 451, degree Fahrenheit. Write an inequality that is true only for
Brilliant_brown [7]
For this case, the first thing you should do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 t: temperature (degree Fahrenheit).
 We write then the inequation that adapts to the problem:
 t> = 451
 Answer:
 
an inequality that is true only for temperatures at which books spontaneously catch on fire is:
 
t> = 451
