Solution by completing the square.

-5x^2+20x-17
=-5(x^2-4x)-17
=(-5(x-2)^2+20) -17
=-5(x-2)^2+3
So a=-5, d=-2, e=+3
a+d+e=-5-2+3=-4

How fast was a driver going if the car left skid marks that were 48 feet long on dry concrete? (The coefficient of friction is 1

Savatey [412]

Answer:

B) 38 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

s = √(30df)

s is the speed the car was traveling (in mph)

d is the distance the car skidded (in feet)

f is the coefficient of friction

s = √(30 x 48 x 1.02)

s = 38.32492661... = 38

If area of a circle measures 16/25 pi cm square, what is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi

pishuonlain [190]

A = pi*r^2

(16/25)*pi = pi*r^2

16/25 = r^2

rt(16/25) = r

r = 4/5

C = 2pi*r
C = 2pi*(4/5)
C = (8/5) pi cm

Homework, confused on this 15 points

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

D.

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question, you just need to think about what plus 1/2, or 2/4, equals 3/4. This would be D. or 1/4 because 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

For the second question, what number minus 4.4 gets you 13.2. This would have to be C. 17.6 since nothing else even makes sense
