X=-8,3.
divide all terms by the two in the first term to get x^2+5x-24=0. Then find the factors. To do so, find what two numbers can be multiplied to get 24, and whether those two numbers can be added or subtracted to get the middle term (5). Since 8x(-3)=24 and 8-3=5, (x+8) and (x-3) are the factors. Then set the factors equal to zero. Add or subtract these numbers to the other side of the equation and you then get x=-8,3. These are the roots.
Four positions of such a sequence are given to be 3s, and we have 10 choices for the remaining eight positions. So the number of such sequences is
or 100 million.
1.031 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.0
Answer:
John is incorrect. He did not multiply.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a pair of socks cost $2, then the total cost of the socks if you buy n pairs is $2n. In the expression 2n, the 2 is the dollar amount and the n is the number of pairs.
1 pair is $2.
2 pair are $4.
3 pair are $6.
4 pair are $8.
5 pair are $10.
6 pair are $12.
7 pair are $14.
13 pair are $26.
There is no way to spend $27 on these socks.
25 pair are $50.
Hopefully, you can use logic, your prior knowledge of making purchases of multiple items and also algebra to see you must multiply the number of items you're buying times the cost per item.
6 pair are $12 and 7 pair are $14. John is wrong. He did not multiply.
