Answer:

x = -1 +/-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation in standard form to find the roots, also known as the solutions, zeros, or x-intercepts, of the quadratic.

x² + 2x + 5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula by substituting a= 1, b = 2 and c = 5.

$x = \frac{-2 +/- \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(1)(5)} }{2(1)} = \frac{-2 +/-\sqrt{4 -20 } }{2} = \frac{-2 +/-\sqrt{-16 } }{2} = \frac{-2 +/-4i }{2} = -1 +/-2i$

Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(2\times x + 3\times y)$

and

Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(4\times x + 4\times y)$

According to the question,

$(2\times x + 3\times y) = 8$ -----(1)

$(4\times x + 4\times y) = 13$ -----(2)

multiplying (1) by 2 we get,

$(4\times x + 6\times y) = 16$ -----(3)

Deducting (2) from (3) we get,

$2\times y = 3$

⇒ $y = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ ------------------(4)

Putting value of y in (1) we get,

$(2\times x = 8 - 3\times 1.5) = 3.5$

⇒ $x =\frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75$ ------------(5)

The sum of a number 1/6 of that number 2 1/2 of that number and seven is 12 1/2 find the number

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the number

x + 1/6x + 2 1/2x + 7 = 12 1/2

3 + (1/6 + 1/2)x = 12 1/2 - 7

3 + (1/6 + 3/6)x = 5 1/2

3 2/3x = 5 1/2

x = (11/2) / (11/3)

x = 11 / 2 * 3 / 11

x = 3/2

x = 1 1/2
