Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0. 

2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c. 

a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)

Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation. 

\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(2)(2) } }{2(2)}

\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{9} }{4}

\frac{-5 +/- 3 }{4}

\frac{-5 + 3 }{4} or -1/2 for the first answer

\frac{-5 - 3 }{4} or -2 for the second answer

The table shows the relationship between a, the area of a rectangle, and h, its height, when the base remains constant.
olganol [36]

Answer:

a = 4h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area (a) = base (b) * height (h).

When h = 2, a = 8:

a =  bh

6 = 2b

b = 4

The result 4 is the same for  h = 5, 7 and 12.

So the required equation is

a = 4h.

A rectangular field is 30 yards in length and 81 feet in width.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

7290in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

covert 30yd to feet which equals too 90ft.

Then multiple 90 x 81 = 7290

The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−5, 7) .
adell [148]
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12

After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3

The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
