The mountain is 307.26 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance jogged by Madelyn = 190.5 meters

This represents 62 percent of total height of mountain.

Let,

x be the height of mountain.

62% of x = 190.5

$\frac{62}{100}*x=190.5\\0.62x=190.5$

Dividing both sides by 0.62

$\frac{0.62x}{0.62}=\frac{190.5}{0.62}\\x=307.258$

Rounding off to 2 decimal places

x = 307.26 meters

The mountain is 307.26 meters tall.

The team ran

juin [17]

The team ran 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The track is $\frac{3}{4}$ miles long and the team ran 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.

Step 2; We convert 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ = ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 = $\frac{8}{3}$ .

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap = $\frac{8}{3}$ × $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{8}{4}$ = 2 miles.

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the quadratic equation below x^2-6x-5=0

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-6x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\x^2-6x=5\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)=5\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)+3^2=5+3^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-3)^2=5+9\\\\(x-3)^2=14\to x-3=\pm\sqrt{14}\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}$
