How do you solve this equation, 5s^2-14s-3=0

Mathematics

It's a quadratic equation. Solve it through factorisation.

5s^2 - 14s - 3 = 0
(5s + 1)(s - 3) = 0

5s + 1 = 0
or
s - 3 = 0

Therefore

s = -1/5
or
s = 3

The sum of two numbers is 30 and their difference is 6
Studentka2010 [4]

I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where a and b are the two numbers):

a + b = 30

a - b = 6


We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:

2a = 36

a = 18


To find b, substitute the value for a into one of the earlier equations:

18 + b = 30

b = 12


The two numbers are 12 and 18.

Is each fraction in simples form? Write yes or no 2/4
shusha [124]
Hey there! :D

When a fraction is still divisible by a number, then it is not in it's simplest form. 

For example, 3/6. 

I know for a fact that 6/3=2 <== 3 is also divisible by itself. 

3/6 (3/3=1) (6/6=1) 

1/2 <== simplest form. 

Try the same with 2/4. 

4 is divisible by 2. 

4/2= 2

2/2=1

1/2 is the simplest form. 

I hope this helps!

Many companies "grade on a bell curve" to compare the performance of their managers and professional workers. This forces the us
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

10% A grades     80% B grades      10% C grades

This year, managers with scores less than 35 received C's and those with scores above 425 received A's.

The mean has to be middle of two corresponding cutoff value

              \mu = \dfrac{35+425}{2}

                      μ = 230

Cutoff Off C grade corresponds with the area of 0.10 is table A.

corresponding z- score according to Table A

           Z = -1.28

now, standard deviation

    z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

    \sigma= \dfrac{x-\mu}{z}

    \sigma= \dfrac{35-230}{-1.28}

       σ = 152.3

Correct answer is option A
