-2 = - x + x^2 -4 => x^2 - x - 4 + 2 = 0
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
a is the coefficient of x^2 => a = 1
b is the coefficient of x => b = - 1
c is the constant term => c = - 2
quadratic equation: [- b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a =
= { 1 +/- √[ (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-2)] } / (2(1) = { 1 +/- √ (1 + 8) } / 2 = {1 +/- √9} / 2 =
= { 1 +/- 3} / 2
When converting English phrases into mathematical expressions/equations, we do things from left to right. That is why it's 4 - 20 instead of 20 - 4.
This rule is applied to division as well.
Is there any numbers to answer the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
A voluntary response sample is defined as a type of sample made up of self-chosen participants. These participants volunteer to take part in different research studies to share their opinions on topics that interest them. A voluntary response sample is made up of persons who volunteer to take research surveys.
