15x²+16x+4 =0      (ax² +bx +c=0)

Δ = b²-4ac =256 - 4×15×4 =16

x1 = (-b+√Δ) / 2a = (-16+√16) / 30 =( -16+4) / 30 = -12/30 = - 2/5
x2 = (-b -√Δ) / 2a = (-16 -√16) / 30 = (-16 -4) /30 = -20/30 = -2/3

      15x² + 16x = -4
15x² + 16x + 4 = -4 + 4
15x² + 16x + 4 = 0
x = <u>-(16) +/- √((16)² - 4(15)(4))</u>
                       2(15)
x = <u>-16 +/- √(256 - 240)</u>
                     30
x = <u>-16 +/- √(16)
</u>              30
x = <u>-16 +/- 4</u>
            30
x = <u>-8 +/- 2</u>
          15
x = <u>-8 + 2</u>  or  x = <u>-8 - 2</u>
         15                  15
x = <u>-6</u>             x = <u>-10</u>
      15                   15
x = ⁻²/₅            x = ⁻²/₃

a landscaping company needs 160 gallons of 40% fertilize the shrubs in an office park. They have in stock 50% fertilizer and 30%
Novay_Z [31]

Let

x--------> volume of 50​% fertilizer

y--------> volume of 30% fertilizer

we know that

x+y=160-----> x=160-y-----> equation 1

x*0.5+y*0.3=160*0.4-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

[160-y]*0.5+0.3*y=63.8----> 77-0.35*y+0.25*y=63.8

0.10*y=13.2------> y=13.2/0.10----> y=132 gal

x=220-y----> x=220-132----> x=88 gal

the answer is

88 gal of 50​% fertilizer

132 gal 30​% fertilizer
