<span>-2x^2-x+7=0
Variable with the highest degree's (exponent) constant, -2 is a, next variable's constant, -1 is b, the constant or number without a variable, 7 is c
using substitution put the numbers into the formula
</span>(-b±√(b^(2)-4ac))/(a^(2))
(-(-1)±√((-1)^(2)-4(-2)(7))/((-2)^(2)) simplify
(1±√(1+56))/4
1±√(57)/4 is your answer
Answer:The absolute value of a number is its distance away from zero. That number will always be positive, as you cannot be negative two feet away from something. So any absolute value equation set equal to a negative number is no solution, regardless of what that number is.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate a total TIME.
Let the time required to cover distance d at 20 mph be x. d is the ONE WAY distance, not the total distance traveled (which would be 2d).
Remember the formula d=rt: the distance traveled equals the rate times the time. Here, d = rx, and thus x = d/r = d/(20mph)
Let's begin by recognizing that d(going) = d(returning)
Then (20 mph)x = 6 + (16 mph)x
(20 mph)x - (16 mph)x = 6 miles
Then: (4 mph)x = 6 miles
or: x = 1.5 hours
It takes the bird 1.5 hours at 20 mph to cover distance d, which is 30 miles.
Thus, the total time spent flying is 1.5 hours (going) and [1.5 hours + (6 miles)/(16 mph) returning:
1.5 hours + 1.5 hours + 0.375 hours = 3.375 hours total.
The total distance covered is 2d, or 2(30 miles) = 60 miles.
It took me a while and a lot of experimentation to arrive at these results. Please, if my arguments here are not clear, ask questions.
