Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2x² - 3x + 1

To find the zeros let y = 0, that is

2x² - 3x + 1 = 0

Consider the factors of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × 1 = 2 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 2 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x - x + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) - 1(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{2}$

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

you spend at most $10 at the mall you want to buy a book that costs $6.75 and a cold drink how much can you spend on the drink?

Aneli [31]

You can make an equation: 6.75 + x = 10
6.75 is the amount you spend on the book, x is the amount you can spend on the drink, and 10 is the total cost.

Solve for x to find how much you can spend on the drink.
6.75 + x = 10
Subtract 6.75 from both sides to isolate x.

x = 3.25

You can spend $3.25 on the drink.

What is the value of x?<br><br> x= <br> units

attashe74 [19]

By Pythagoras theorem

$RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}$
$RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}$

$SQ^{2}= RS^{2} + RQ^{2}$
$SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2} + x^{2} + 9^{2}$
$SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81$
$25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337$
$625-337=2 x^{2}$
$288=2 x^{2}$
$144= x^{2}$
$x=12$

Palindrome numbers are numbers that read the same foward or backward. Here are some palindrome numbers: 11, 121, 75257, and 1234

KatRina [158]

Answer:

99.

Step-by-step explanation:

A palindrome number is one that can be read in the same way both from the front and from the back. A clear example is the number 242, which starts and ends in the same way from the front or back.

Between 10 and 100, there are 9 palindromes, from 11 to 99. In turn, between 100 and 200, 200 and 300 and so on, each hundred has within it 10 palindromes (101, 111, 121, 131, 141 , 151, 161, 171, 181 and 191, for example).

Therefore, considering the 9 hundreds between 100 and 1000, there will be 90 palindromes, which added to the 9 between 10 and 100 give a total of 99 palindromes.

Can someone find the surface area please

lozanna [386]

To find the surface area of any object, the first step that you must do is find all shapes that are present in the object.

Here we have 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.

Knowing this, simply find the area of each shape.

Since the triangles are the same, one is facing up and the other down, they both would be 15.6 cm^2.

The rectangles would be 54 cm^2. as there are 3 ( 6 x 3 cm) ones.

Add the values up to have the surface area.

It’s 85.2 cm^2.
