So what you do is
make into ax^2+bx+c=0 form

add-9/2 to both sides
y^2-2y+9/2=0
now we use the quadratice formula which is
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

ax^2+bx+c=0
1y^2-2y+9/2
a=1
b=-2
c=9/2
subsitute
x=\frac{-(-2)+/- \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(9/2)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(36/2)} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(18)} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} \sqrt{-1}}{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} i }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{ i \sqrt{14} }{2}

answer is C

Use the given root to find the remaining root of the function. Root: x = - 3 Function: f(x) = x ^ 2 + x - 6
ra1l [238]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know one root is -3, we know one factor of the equation is (x+3)

From there we can use the factor we know to factor the rest of the equation:

x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3) * ?

Since know -6 is just 3 * -2 and since 3-2 is 1,

(x+3)(x-2) = x^2 + x - 6

From there,

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

A snack bar sells two sizes of drinks. A large drink is $5 and a small drink is $3. In one day, they sold 60 drinks for a total
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of L = $5

Cost of S = $3

No. of drinks sold = 60 drinks

Total sale = $220

Solution:

L + S = 60 - (1) (multiplying by 3)

5L + 3S = 220 - (2)

(-)3L +(-) 3S = (-)180 - (1)

2L = 40

L = 40 / 2

L = 20 Large drinks

20 + S = 60

S = 60 - 20

S = 40 small drinks

Therefore, 20 large drinks and 40 small drinks
