8x^2 - 2x = 1
8x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

(2 +/-√(-2)^2 - 4(8)(-1))/ 2(8)
(2 +/-√4 + 32) / 16
(2 +/-√36) / 16
(2 +/- 6) / 16

2+6/16
1/2

2-6/16
-1/4

now since they want the sum of the roots
1/2 - 1/4

sum = 1/4

8x^2-2x-1=0

8x^2-4x+2x-1=0

4x(2x-1)+1(2x-1)=0

(4x+1)(2x-1)=0

x=1/2 and -1/4

So the sum is 1/2-1/4=1/4

1/4

Find the percent of increase from 40 gallons to 89 gallons. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.
fredd [130]

Solution

- 89 gallons contains 40 gallons twice such that:

89=40+40+9

- This means that we can find at least 200% of 40 gallons in 89 gallons. This gives us what to expect.

- To get the percentage we are looking for, we should use the formula:

\frac{\text{new}}{\text{old}}\times100\text{ \%}

New, in this case, is 89 gallons, Old is 40 gallons.

- Thus, we can calculate the percentage as follows:

\begin{gathered} \frac{89}{40}\times100 \\ =2.225\times100 \\ =222.5\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

Thus, the answer is 222.5%
