Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------
2
- First of all, a 2 foot kangaroo is casting a 7 foot shadow.
- Next we do 7 divided by 2 which equals 3.5.
- Since we know the shadow is going to be 3.5x the object size we have to divide its shadow by 3.5
- 14 divided by 3.5 is 4 so the Eucalyptus tree is 4ft long
<u><em> Your answer=4ft </em></u>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P is 5 ticks to the left of 0, so it would be -5/8
Q is 5 ticks to the right of 0, so it would be at 5/8
an absolute value turns a negative number into a positive number
so absolute value of P located at -5/8 = 5/8
this is the location of point Q
Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.
The simpliest form is 71/10, the fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this isn't a really small (1/1000000000) or really big (like the radius of the earth) number you don't need the standard notation, so the fraction 71/10 is the simpliest because there is only a decimal, so it can be a fraction of ten.
