Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we know that 5x^2+ ax+7x +5=0 only has one root. That means that b^2 - 4ac=0, and we can use this to find the discriminant, ax + 7x.
Now, if we simplified 5x^2+ ax+7x +5=0, by dividing it all by 5, it would be x^2+(a+7)/5x + 1 = 0.
After, we can plug what we know into the formula, b^2 - 4ac=0. It would be:
(a+7)^2 / 25 - 4 = 0
(a+7)^2 / 25 = 4
(a+7)^2 = 100
Since this is a square root, a+7 can be both negative or positive.
a+7= 10, or a+7 = -10
a=3, or a=-17
The question asks for the sum of a, which is 3 + (-17) = -14
Therefore, the answer is -14.
:) have fun with your rsm problems, assuming you got this from the portal.
#420
because 70x4=420 within 300 and 500 and is greater than 400 which is a multiple of 100
Answer: 42 - 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Which expression represents how much money both Jessica and Levi have left altogether?
Select one:
27 – 5x
42 – 8x
12 – 2x
39 – 3x
From the question, Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. This means she had:
15 - (3 × x) = 15 - 3x
Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Levi will have:
27 - (5 × x) = 27 - 5x
The amount they'll have altogether will be the addition of their amount left. This will be:
15 - 3x + 27 - 5x
= 15 + 27 - 3x - 5x
= 42 - 8x
Answer:
y- intercept = - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 25)
m =
=
= - 4.5 , then
y = - 4.5x + c
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the equation
Using (1, - 7), then
- 7 = - 4.5 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 4.5 = - 2.5
y- intercept c = - 2.5
The x would equal 0 and the y would equal 3
