8 feet 4 inches is more precise and easier to use.

It would be weird to say 7 feet 16 inches, because there's 12 inches in a foot and your already using that measurement.

Hope this is helpful:)

enot [183]

The answer is 25%.

60/240=x/100
60*100=6000
6000/240=25

60/240=25/100

Solve −2x2 +3x − 9 = 0

luda_lava [24]

-2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0
The quadratic is not factorable so quadratic formula must be used.
x = (-b + - √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
a = -2, b = 3, c = -9
x = (-3 + - √(9 - 4*-2*-9))/-4
x = (-3 + - √(-63))/-4
x = -3 + - 3i√7
   --------------
   -4
x = 3 + 3i√7 x = 3 - 3i√7
    ------------ ------------

Find y' by implicit differentiation √x +√y =1

AleksandrR [38]

Differentiate both sides with respect to x

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^{\frac{1}{2}} + y^{\frac{1}{2}}) = \frac{d}{dx}(1)\\\\ \frac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}} + \frac{1}{2y^{\frac{1}{2}}}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\\\\\frac{1}{2y^{\frac{1}{2}}}\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}}\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \times 2\sqrt{y}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}} \\\\\boxed{\bf{y'= -\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}}}}$
