Answer:

answer is {-4.42, 12.54}

Step-by-step explanation:

v^2 - 8v - 59 = -2

v^2 - 8v = 57

(v - 4)^2 - 16 = 57

(v - 4)^2 = 73

Taking square roots:-

v - 4 = +/- √73

v = √73 + 4 or - √73 + 4

v = -4.54 , 12.54

A cell phone provider offers a plan that costs $30 per month plus $0.10 per text message sent or received. A comparable plan c

mariarad [96]

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per month = $30

Per text sent or received charges = $0.10

Let,

x be the number of texts sent or received.

A(x) = 0.10x+30

A comparable plan costs = $60 per month

Text messages are unlimited.

B(x) = 60

For the two plans to cost equal;

A(x) = B(x)

$0.10x+30=60\\0.10x=60-30\\0.10x=30$

Dividing both sides by 0.10

$\frac{0.10x}{0.10}=\frac{30}{0.10}\\x=300$

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

A total of h males and (h - 2) females visit the museum on a certain day. If total of visitors for that day is 80, what is the v

Akimi4 [234]

Given:

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

Total number of visitors = 80

To find:

The value of h.

Solution:

We have,

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

So, the total number of visitors is:

$Total=h+(h-2)$

$Total=2h-2$

It is given that the total number of visitors is 80. So,

$2h-2=80$

$2h=80+2$

$2h=82$

Divide both sides by 2.

$h=\dfrac{82}{2}$

$h=41$

Therefore, the correct option is D.

How do we solve this problem?

MaRussiya [10]

To solve the problem you must find the area of every square. For F one of the squares has a side length of 3 and because this is a square the other sides are also 3. To find the area we multiply two of the sides so 3 times 3 is 9
You do this with both the other squares
3*3=9
4*4=16
The area of the large square is given as 25
So 9+16=25 which means this is not the correct answer

H.
9*9=81
Given as 144
The area of the large square is 21*21 which is 441
144+81= 225
So because the two small squares DO NOT equal the area of the large square this is the correct answer.
