Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Meredith made a fatal mistake or error in step 2;

Any quadratic problem will always have two solutions. Therefore since, we only have one solution here, it is wrong. The mistake was incurred in step 2;

  From the given problem ;

    <u> Wrong                                                  right</u>

    2(x + 4)² = 242

    (x + 4)² = 121     Step 1  

     x+4=11              Step 2                  x + 4  = ± 11

     x  = 7                Step 3                  x + 4  = 11 or x + 4  = -11

                                                           x  = 11- 4     or    x  = -11 - 4

                                                           x  = 7 or -15

Answer:

%30 off is the better price

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly we know that 2 - 12 is equal to 10 so that is $10.00 there from that coupon

to find out the second value, we first devide by the total amount (%100 in this case)

<em>12 / 100 = 10.12</em>

then we multiply by the partial amount (%30)

<em>0.12 * 30 = 3.6</em>

convert that into a dollar amount and we get the total discount in dollars

<em>3.60 = $3.60</em>

AND

<em>$3.60 > $2.00</em>

<em />

hope this helps ya, take care mate :D

Grade 8 math question plz show work
Nimfa-mama [501]
A. The population would be 120

You would find 20 percent of 100
To do that, you do 100× 0.2 and add that to 100

B. The population doubles

10×2= 20
20×2= 40, not 30

hope this helps!

Given that P = (-5, 5) and Q = (-13, 10), find the component form and magnitude of 2 vector PQ.
Brut [27]
Define unit vectors along the x-axis and the y-axis as \hat{i} , \, \hat{j} respectively.

Then the vector from P to Q is
\vec{PQ} = (-13+5)\hat{i} + (10-5)\hat{j} = -8\hat{i} + 5\hat{j}
In component form, the vector PQ is (-8,5).

The magnitude of vector PQ is
√[(-8)² + 5²] = √(89) = 9.434

Answer:
The vector PQ is (-8, 5) and its magnitude is √89  (or 9.434).
