rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".
we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.
X=700R+85Y
R= Number of Refrigerators
Y= Number of Years
Answer:
omggg he looks like a stuffed animal
Pounds because I don't think that a sink weighs a ton and ounces would be far to complex. Plus, you are measuring the capacity of a sink...
Sorry if the answer sucks! I'm new at this and not all that smart...
Answer:
<u>The solutions to this quadratic equation are 10 and 3.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's recall the formula for solving this type of equations, called quadratic equations:
x = ( - b +/- √ b² - 4ac)/ 2a
The equation given is x2 – 13x + 30 = 0,
where a = 1, b = - 13 and c = 30
Now replacing with the real values, we have
x = [ - (-13) +/- √ (-13)² - 4 * 1 * 30] / 2 * 1
x = [ 13 +/- √ 169 - 120] / 2
x = [13 +/- √ 49]/ 2
x = [ 13 +/- 7 ]/ 2
<u>x₁ = 13 + 7/2 = 20/2 = 10</u>
<u>x₂ = 13 - 7/2 = 6/2 = 3</u>
