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>

Katrina wants to estimate the proportion of adults who read at least 10 books last year. to do​ so, she obtains a simple random
Vaselesa [24]
E=Z*sqrt (p(1-p)/N), where E= error margin, p=proportion, N=sample size

Katrina's margin error at 85% confidence interval: E=1.96*sqrt (p(1-p)/100) = 0.196 sqrt (1(1-p))

Mathew's margin error at 99% confidence interval: E= 2.58*sqrt (p(1-p)/400) = 0.129 sqrt (p(1-p))

Since both obtained same estimate of proportion (that is, value of p), it can be seen that Mathew's estimate will have a small error (That is, 0.129 is smaller than 0.196). This can be attributed to larger sample size although a wider confidence (99%) interval was considered.

The formula of the area of the triangle is A=1/2bh solve for h
inn [45]

Answer:

Answer:

h = \frac{2A}{b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = \frac{1}{2} bh

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2A = bh ( isolate h by dividing both sides by b )

h = \frac{2A}{b}
