1 people eat 3/8 pound of potato salad lets reoresent it:
x=3/8
Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute
7x=n
7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8

How do I do this? Find the distance between the points given. Simplify all irrational answers.
belka [17]
The formula for finding the distance between points is √(x-x₁)²+(y-y₁)²
x=0, y=6, x₁=5, y₁=12
√(0-5)²+(6-12)²
√(-5)²+(-6)²
√25+36
√61 is irrational
7.81 points(rounded to nearest hundredth) is the distance between those two points.

Find the roots of the function f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.<br>​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: There are no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of the function

f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.

First open the bracket

2^x - 1 - x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0

Rearrange and collect the like terms

2x^2 - x^2 - 2x + 3 - 1= 0

X^2 - 2x + 2 = 0

Factorizing the above equation will be impossible, we can therefore find the root by using completing the square method or the quadratic formula.

X^2 - 2x = - 2

Half of coefficient of x is 1

X^2 - 2x + 1^2 = -2 + 1^2

( x - 1 )^2 = - 1

( x - 1 ) = +/- sqrt(-1)

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

The root of the function is therefore

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

Since b^2 - 4ac of the function is less than zero, we can therefore conclude that there is no real roots

The equation
Vilka [71]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: There are two ways to solve this question. The faster way is to multiply each side of the given equation by ax−2 (so you can get rid of the fraction). When you multiply each side by ax−2, you should have:

24x2+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

You should then multiply (−8x−3) and (ax−2) using FOIL.

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x+6−53

Then, reduce on the right side of the equation

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x−47

Since the coefficients of the x2-term have to be equal on both sides of the equation, −8a=24, or a=−3.

The other option which is longer and more tedious is to attempt to plug in all of the answer choices for a and see which answer choice makes both sides of the equation equal. Again, this is the longer option, and I do not recommend it for the actual SAT as it will waste too much time.

The final answer is B.
