Answer:
- x = -1/2(1 +√21) ≈ -2.79129
- x = -1/2(1 -√21) ≈ 1.79129
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the middle term is supposed to be 4x.
We can remove a common factor of 4 to simplify this a bit.
x^2 +x -5 = 0
This is of the form
ax^2 +bx +c = 0
where a=1, b=1, c=-5.
__
The <em>quadratic formula</em> gives the solutions as ...

Filling in the given coefficients, we have ...
x = (-1 ±√(1^2 -4·1·(-5)))/(2·1)
x = (-1±√21)/2
The solutions are x = -1/2(1 +√21) and -1/2(1 -√21).
_____
<em>If what you wrote is what you intend</em>, then the equation simplifies to 4x^2 -16 = 0.
Dividing by 4 and factoring the difference of squares gives ...
x^2 -4 = 0
(x -2)(x +2) = 0
These factors are zero (hence their product is 0) for the values x = 2 and x = -2.
The solutions are x=2 and x=-2.
Prime number- a number that has only two factors.
First step: you got to add y to both sides in the math problem Ex: 15x - y + y < 12 + y
Second step: simplify 15x < 12 + y
Third Step: This you got to divide both sides by 15 like this: 15x/15 < 12/15 + y/15
Last and Fourth step: Simplify and thats your answer x < 12 + y/15
Answer:
Paasche's Index= 168.63= 169
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Products</u></em>
<em><u>Base-Period Current Period</u></em>
Quantities Mean Shipping Quantities Mean Shipping
(Year 1) Cost per Unit ($) (Year 5) Cost per Unit ($)
A 1,500 10.50 4000 15.90
B 5,000 16.25 3000 33.00
C 6,500 12.20 8000 18.40
D 2,500 20.00 3000 35.50
Paasche's Index= ∑ pn.qn/∑po.qn* 100
Where pn is the price of the current year and qn is the quantity of the current year and po. is the price of the base year and qo. is the quantity of the base year.
Paasche's Index is the percentage ratio of the aggregate of given period prices weighted by the quantities sold or consumed in the given period to the aggregate of the base period prices weighted by the given period quantities.
Multiplying the current year prices with the current year quantities and the base year price with the current year quantities we get.
Product pn.qn po.qn
A 15.90* 4000 10.50* 4000
= 63600 =42000
B 33.00*3000 16.25 * 3000
= 99000 = 48750
C 18.40* 8000 12.20 *8000
=147200 =97600
D 35.50* 3000 20.00*3000
<u> =</u><u>106500 60,000 </u><u> </u>
<u>∑ 416300 248350 </u>
<u />
Paasche's Index= ∑ pn.qn/∑po.qn= <u> </u>416300/ 248350 *100 = 1.676=1.68= 168.63= 169
