Which best explains why the expression plus or minus StartRoot b squared minus 4 a c EndRoot cannot be rewritten as b plus or mi

nus StartRoot negative 4 a c EndRoot during the next step?
Negative values, like −4ac, do not have a square root.
The ± symbol prevents the square root from being evaluated.
The square root of terms separated by addition and subtraction cannot be calculated individually.
The entire term b2 − 4ac must be divided by 2a before its square root can be determined.

Answer:

C) The square root of terms separated by addition and subtraction cannot be calculated individually.

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(b² - 4ac) is not equal to

b - sqrt(4ac)

Because when you square b - sqrt(4ac), it's not b² - 4ac..

(b- sqrt(4ac))² = b² - 2bsqrt(4ac) + 4ac

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:

1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.

Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:

7/4, 7/4, 3/2

Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4

Adding them:

Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:

= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4

= 20/4

= 5 inches

Graph the equation <br><br>2x + 3y = 9
jeka57 [31]

2x + 3y = 9\\3y = -2x + 9\\y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Look at the graph picture I attached

y = mx + c

c is the intercept, which is why the graph crosses the y-axis at +3

to find where it crosses the x-axis, we make y = 0

y = 0\\\to -\frac{2}{3}x + 3 = 0\\-\frac{2}{3} = -3\\\frac{2}{3}x = 3\\2x = 9\\x = \frac{9}{2}\ \ (=4.5)
