Answer: Quadratic
Solution
X=0
X=- 1/3
4x^2 + x + 3 = 0
x = [-1 +/- sqrt (1^2 - 4 * 4 * 3)] / 8 = - 1 +/- sqrt ( --47) / 8
= ( - 1 +/- sqrt47i) / 8 = -0.125 + 0.857i , -0.125 - 0.857i
Standard form is x + y = number
The equation has a slope of 3 and a y intercept of -4 so the equation should be
y = 3x - 4
To get this in standard form you have to move the 3x to the other side.
y - 3x = -4
-3x + y = -4
The coefficient before x cannot be negative in standard form so you have to multiply the whole equation by -1.
3x - y = 4
Answer:
15×4=60 and 3 people will be left without a group of 4
