Answer:

x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{ 65 }}{-4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic Formula for a second degree polynomial ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is a formula for the values of its solution i.e. for finding the values of x.

It is given by, x = \frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }}{2a}.

Now, we have the given quadratic equation -2x^{2}-5x+5 = 0,

which gives a = -2 , b = -5 , c = 5.

Substituting the value of a, b , c in the above formula, we get

x = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2} -4 \times (-2) \times 5 }}{2 \times (-2)}.

x = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{ 25 + 40 }}{-4}.

x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{ 65 }}{-4}.

Hence, the solution of the given quadratic equation is x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{ 65 }}{-4}.

What is the value of 3 to the power 2 over 3 to the power 4? A. 1 over 81 B. 1 over 27 C. 1 over 9 D. 1 over 3
rodikova [14]
One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do 3^{(2-4)} since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get 3^{-2}, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.

Evaluate the following expression. Express your answer in simplest form. 3/16 + 5/8 × 1/2​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to follow the order of operations. Since there are no parenthesis or exponents, we do multiplication first. to multiple fractions, we multiply the two numerators (top parts), which in this situation would get us 5*1=5. Then, we multiply the two denominators (bottom parts), which would get us 8*2=16. then we put the first result over the second, and we get 5/16. since the two denominators are the same, we don't need to change anything. we can just add the numerator, and get 8/16, which simplifies to 1/2.
