Jenna is correct because the square root of a rational number can still be irrational.

Take for example the square root of 2. It is an irrational number than goes 1.41421...

If you multiply just the first however many digits of the result by itself, you will never end up with a perfect 2, because the square root is irrational.

Solve using the quadratic frmula 2x^2-5x=3
Mnenie [13.5K]

2x2−5x=3

I think the first step would be to

Subtract 3 from both sides

2x2−5x−3=3−3

2x2−5x−3=0

Then

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-3

2x2+−5x+−3=0

Lastly you would

Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-3

I think your answer would then have to be...

x = 3 or x =  −1 /2

Which of these descriptions matches the graph?
qwelly [4]

The correct answer is A. Jimmy is running late, so he starts to run to school  but needs to take breaks.

Explanation:

The graph shows the distance in axis y and the time in axis x. Additionally, the graph presents different sections from A to E. In this, the sections A, C, and E show an increase in the distance from home, this implies there was movement. Moreover, the speed (distance traveled in time) is higher in sections C and E than in A because the distance increases in a shorter time. Also, in sections D and B there is no movement as time continues but the distance is the same. In this context, the description that best matches the graph is "Jimmy is running late, so he starts to run to school  but needs to take breaks" because this is the only option that includes the breaks or lack of movement in sections B and D. Also, the changes in speed are likely to occur in this scenario.

B = 20 / 6  

= 10/ 3 hrs

A = 5 ( 10/3 + 2)

 = 5 (16/3)

 = 80 / 3 hrs  

 Brian traveled 10/3 hours and Annie traveled 80/3 hours.
