<span>-2x^2 + 10x + 9 =0
multiply whole equation by -1
2x^2  -10x -9 =0

(sqrt2x)^2  -2(sqrt2x)(5/</span>sqrt2) -9=0
add (5/sqrt2)^2 on both sides
(sqrt2x)^2  -2(sqrt2x)(5/sqrt2) + (5/sqrt2)^2-9=(5/sqrt2)^2

a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2
(sqrt2x  -  5/sqrt2)^2=(5/sqrt2)^2+9

(sqrt2x  -  5/sqrt2)^2=21.5

taking squareroot on both sides

sqrt2x  -  5/sqrt2 = +-4.64
so
sqrt2x  -  5/sqrt2 = +4.64       or         sqrt2x  -  5/sqrt2 = -4.64
sqrt2x = 4.64 +  5/sqrt2                     sqrt2x = -4.64 +  5/sqrt2
sqrt2x =8.18                                         sqrt2x = -1.1045
x=8.18/sqrt2                                        x= -1.1045/sqrt2
x=5.78                                                 x=-0.781

A car rental agency charges ​$50 per week plus ​$0.50 per mile to rent a car.
-BARSIC- [3]
The cost in dollars is given as 50 + 0.50x, so ...
f(x) = 0.50x +50

B) You want to find x for f(x) = 100. Substitute the given numbers and solve for x.
100 = 0.50x +50
50 = 0.50x
50/0.50 = x
100 = x
You drove 100 miles during the week if the cost was $100.
