Answer:

- 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the general quadratic formula, as " x = -b \frac{+}{-}  \sqrt{(b^2-4ac)} / 2a. " This can be represented by two separate formula's, which will come in handy when determining the positive and negative roots of the equation ( and here we need the negative root ):

1 ) x = - b+ ( \sqrt{b^2-4ac} ) / 2a,

2 ) x = - b- ( \sqrt{b^2-4ac} ) / 2a

We know that a = 1, b = - 5, and c = - 4 from the equation " 0 = x^2 - 5x - 4 " ( which can be rewritten in the form 0 = ax^2 + bx + c ). Therefore, simply plug in these values into the quadratic formula to receive two solutions:

x = 5 + ( \sqrt{( - 5 )^2 - 4( 1 )( - 4 )} ) / 2( 1 ),\\x = 5 + ( \sqrt{25 + 16} ) / 2,\\x = 5 + \sqrt{41} / 2,\\x = ( About ) 5.7- This is our positive solution

__________

x = 5 - ( \sqrt{( - 5 )^2 - 4( 1 )( - 4 )} ) / 2( 1 ),\\x = 5 - ( \sqrt{25 + 16} ) / 2,\\x = 5 - \sqrt{41} / 2,\\x = ( About ) - 0.7- And this is our negative solution

You can see that - 0.7 is the negative real number solution to Joline's quadratic equation!

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
svetoff [14.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C (see attached)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The linear portion of the graph is defined for x ≥ 1, with the point x=1 included. Only selections A and C do that.

The quadratic portion of the graph is defined for x < 1. Only selection C does that. (Selection A is doubly-defined for x > 1, so is not a function. It is undefined for x < 1.)

Lena [83]

<u>Answer:</u>

f(x) = x^2 , x < 2

f(x) = 5, 2\leq x < 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have a parabola and a small line shown in the graph.

The parabola goes upto x = 2 but does not reach that very value. So x = 2 starts on the line above where x = 2 and ends just before x = 4.

Therefore, this function can be modeled by:

f(x) = x^2 , x < 2

f(x) = 5, 2\leq x < 4
