The solution to the quadratic equation are option C) x= -5 and option E) x=3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The given quadratic equation is x²+2x-15 = 0.
Using the factorization method,
- product of the roots should be -15.
- Sum of the roots should be 2.
⇒ -15 = 5
-3
⇒ 2 = 5+(-3)
(x+5)(x-3) = 0
Therefore, x = -5 and x = 3
Whole-wheat bread = $2.06/lb
We need the cost of 3.8 lbs of whole-wheat bread.
So, we simply need to multiply the cost with the amount needed.
(cost per pound) × (amount of bread)
($2.06) × (3.8)
Simplify.
$7.828
Round to the nearest tenths.
$7.83
So, 3.8 pounds of whole wheat bread costs $7.83
