Answer:
x = 5 and x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
You're on the right track. It's the "discriminant" that tells you what you want to know here. Before starting, arrange the terms of your quadratic in descending orders of x: 5x^2 + 14x - 19 = 0 (Note that I assumed you meant 14x instead of just 14).
Then the coefficients of this quadratic are a = 5, b = 14 and c = -19.
You are referring to the "quadratic formula." It states this:
-b ± √(b²-4ac)
x = -----------------------
2a
So, we insert the a, b and c values as indicated above:
-14 ± √( 14² - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √(196 - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √576
x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------- = ----------------------
2(10) 20 20
This comes out to:
x = (-14 + 24) / 2 and x = (-14 - 24) / 2
or:
x = 5 and x = -19
Answer:
the slope is -1, rise over run and since the line goes down from left to right it is negative

Answer:
22. 3/8
23. 3/5
24. 0
Step-by-step explanation:
turn the 1 into a fraction for each of the problems.
for 22. it would be 8/8 because also trying to make the denominators the same.
8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
try 23 and 24 now!
Answer:
A = -12, B = 9 and C = .2
Step-by-step explanation:
So it just looks like we need to use algebra to move everything around to get it in the form Ax + By = C
So, let's start with 9y = 12x + 0.2. From standard form we have all terms wth variables on one side, so let's do that. the right sie has both a variable term and non variable term, so let's get rid of the variable term. The variable term is 12x, so to get rid of it you subtract 12x from both sides.
9y = 12x + 0.2
9y - 12x = 0.2
To make it exactly in standard form just rarrnge.
-12x + 9y = 0.2
So now we have A = -12, B = 9 and C = .2
