Answer:

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.

x=  −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac /2a .

a=-2, b=4, c=5.

x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).

x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.

x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.

Simplify the following expression:
Phantasy [73]
\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2} }

To begin, we can simplify the expression's denominator by finding a common denominator between the denominators of the fractions in the denominator.  To make them compatible, we can convert \frac{5}{2} into \frac{10}{4}:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2}( \frac{2}{2}) } = \frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} }

Next, we can simplify:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} } = \frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}

Finally, to cancel the denominator within the denominator, we can multiply the whole expression by \frac{4}{4}, or 1:

\frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}* \frac{4}{4} =  -\frac{16}{9}

The expression simplifies to -\frac{16}{9}, or -1 \frac{7}{9} as a mixed number.

Wen takes a job with a starting salary of $100,000 for the first year. she earns a 3% increase each year. what does s5 represent
steposvetlana [31]
S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n})  }{1-r} a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5
S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.

Hope that helps

How much more pizza is in a 12-in.diameter pizza than an 8-in.diameter pizza?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

62.8 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

With round pizza we need to

find the area of each pizza in

square inches, then determine

the difference.  

The area of a circle is given by:

A = πr2

 

12 inch diameter, radius = 6

a = π(62) = 36π in2

 

8 inch diameter, radius = 4

a = π(42) = 16π in2

 

Difference:  36π - 16π = 20π in2

 

using 3.14 for pi, the difference is

20(3.14) = 62.8 in2

1/3k+80=1/2k+120 what does k equal?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

k = -1/240

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120

we have

1/3k+80=1/2k+120

collect the like terms for easy evaluation

1/3k - 1/2k = 120 -80

1/3k - 1/2k = 40

find the lcm

2 - 3/6k = 40

-1/ 6k = 40

cross multiply

6k  x  40  = -1

240k = -1

divide both sides by 240

240k/240 = -1/ 240

k = -1/240

therefore the value of k in the expression 1/3k+80=1/2k+120 is equals to -1/240
