You would take 17.28 ÷ 7.2=2.4
Best to factor 5 out of the first 2 terms:
5x^2-7x+2=0 => <span>5(x^2 - [7/5]x) +2=0
Take half of [-7/5]: That'd be -7/10.
Square 7/10, add it to </span>5(x^2 - [7/5]x) +2=0 and then subtract it:
5(x^2 - [7/5]x)+ 49/100 - 49/100 ) +2=0
Then we have 5(x- [7/10] )^2 - 49/100 ) + 200/100 = 0
5(x-7/5)^2 - 245/100 + 200/100 = 0
5(x-7/5)^2 - 45/100 = 0
Dividing all terms by 5, x-7/5 = plus or minus sqrt( 9/100 )
x-7/5 = plus or minus 3/10
Then one root is x = 7/5 + 3/10, or x= 17/10 (answer #1)
The other is x = 7/5 - 3/10, or x = 14/10 - 3/10, or x = 7/10 (answer #2)
Answer:
4 kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Get two coordinates from the graph
(0,1) and (1,3)
Use them to find gradient
(3-1)/(1-0)=2
Yes it does because when u multiply 2 negative you get a positive but since your adding another negative it goes back to a negative
