There are different ways to solve a quadratic equation, the main ones that i'm thinking about right now are:
1) factor the equation as a product:
ex: x^2+ 4x + 3 =0
(x+3) (x+1) = 0
x=-3 and x=-1 are the solutions.
To find (x+p) and (x+q) you have to think that (p+q )have to be equal to the number that is multiplied by x, in my example it was 4 (3+1=4), (p times q) have to be equal to the last number of the quadratic equation, the one that is not multiplied by any x, that in my example is 3 (3 x 1= 3)
2) The other way to solve a quadratic function is by using a formula:
given: ax^2 +bx +c=0
x= (-b +/- <span>√(b^2 -</span> 4ac)) / 2a
ex: 3x^2 + 4x -2=0
x= (-4 +/- √16-4(3)(-2)) / 6= (-4 +/- √16+24)/6= (-4 +/- <span>√40) / 6
now there are 2 possibilities: x= (-4+</span><span>√40) /6
and
x= (-4 - </span><span>√40) / 6
I hope the examples were clear enough also if i did't get very nice numbers. Look closely to the sings + and -, they are very important</span>
The two numbers are both -15
-15 x -15= 225
-15+ -15= -30
hi,
first let's count the marbles : 1+3+2 = 6
so picking a red is 1/6
a green is : 3/6
a bleu is : 2/6
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>
- 8x - 2 = 12x - 30
- 12x -8x = 30 -2
- 4x = 28
- x= 28/4
- x= 7
V = ( 9*2 ) / 3 ;
v = 18 / 3 ;
v = 6 ;
a. is the right answer;
( 119.5 / 151 ) * 100 = 11950 / 151 = 79.1 ;
The percent is 79.1%;
c. is the right answer;
1 - (40/100)*1 = 1 - 2 / 5 = 3 / 5 = 0.60 ;
d. is the right answer.
