Answer:

440 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental company charges for rent a truck = $75 per day

and the charges per mile = 20 cents

100 cents = 1 dollar

20 cents = $\frac{20}{100}$

= $0.20

Michael rents a truck for 2 days.

Let Michael drove the truck in 2 days = x miles

and his bill came to $238.

the equation will be : (75 × 2) + 0.20x = 238

150 + 0.20x = 238

0.20x = 238 - 150

0.20x = 88

x = $\frac{88}{0.20}$

x = 440

Michael drove the truck 440 miles in 2 days.

75(2)+.20x=238
You then solve for x by multiplying 75 by 2 to get 150. Then subtract 150 from both sides of the equation, so this is what you get .20x=88. Finally divide by .20 on both sides to get x= 440

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$\sqrt{54}$ and $\sqrt{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number 'x' is a perfect square, then $\sqrt{x}$ is rational.

25, 36 and 81 are perfect squares, but 54 and 120 aren't, so the irrational values are $\sqrt{54}$ and $\sqrt{120}$

Which of the following equations have complex roots?

mestny [16]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots of quadratic functions occur when the <u>discriminant is negative</u>.

<u>Discriminant</u>

$b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Evaluate the discriminant of each of the given equations.

$\textsf{A.} \quad 3x^2+2=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=0, \quad c=2$

$\implies b^2-4ac=0^2-4(3)(2)=-24$

As -24 < 0 the equation will have complex roots.

$\textsf{B.} \quad 2x^2+1=7x$

$\implies 2x^2-7x+1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-7, \quad c=1$

$\implies b^2-4ac= (-7)^2-4(2)(1)=41$

As 41 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{C.} \quad 3x^2-1=6x$

$\implies 3x^2-6x-1=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=-6, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-6)^2-4(3)(-1)=48$

As 48 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{D.} \quad 2x^2-1=5x$

$\implies 2x^2-5x-1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-5, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-5)^2-4(2)(-1)=33$

As 33 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.
