Answer:
x = -4, 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.
__
A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.
__
When factored, the equation becomes ...
(2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)
__
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4
x = {-4, 5/2}
__
For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...
product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10
Only the first and last choices have this product.
sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2
Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.
The answer would be D how are the trails used
Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
A die has 6 numbers which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Odd numbers in a die = 1, 3 and 6
Numbers greater than 4 = 5 and 6
Probability of rolling an odd number = 3/6 = 1/2
Probability of rolling a number greater than 4 = 2/6 = 1/3
We then multiply both values gotten. This will be:
= 1/2 × 1/3
= 1/6
Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number the first time and a number greater than 4 the second time is 1/6.
-2.54 is equal to -2 27/50
