It has to be noted that there are several ways to factor the item. One of these is shown below. 

The general form of a quadratic equation is,
            Ax² + Bx + C = 0

where A and B are numerical coefficients and C is the constant. If we are to express the given equation in this form, 
        2x² - 5x - 88 = 0

The sum of the roots, x₁ and x₂ is -B/A and the product is equal to C/A.

Sum: x₁ + x₂ = -(-5/2) = 5/2
 Product: x₁x₂ = -88/2 = -44

The values of x₁ and x₂ are 8 and -11/2.

The factors are (x - 8) and (x + 11/2)

<em>ANSWERS: 8 and -11/2. </em>

the amount of money rick earned can be solve using the formula:

F = P (1+ i)^n

Where F is the future money

P is the initial money

i is the interest rate

n is the time

F = 1000 ( 1 + 0.04)^10

F = $ 1,480.24

Sally

F = 1000 + (50)(10)

F = $ 1500

So the answer is D

Should be easy points!
Andru [333]

Answer:

Let x represent the number from the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x) + 2(1/x) = 20/3

2x + 2/x = 20/3

multiply both sides of the equation by 3x

6x + 6 = 20x

6x - 20x + 6 = 0

6x - 18x - 2x + 6 = 0

6x(x-3 -2(x-3) = 0

(6x-2 = 0 or x-3 = 0

6x = 2 or x = 3

x = 2/6

x = 1/3

Since x represented the number

Therefore x = 1/3 or 3

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

0.093 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 4/3 π r³

Take derivative with respect to time:

dV/dt = 4π r² dr/dt

Plug in values:

141 = 4π (11)² dr/dt

dr/dt = 141 / (484π)

dr/dt ≈ 0.093

The radius is increasing at 0.093 ft/min.
