Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

A garden contains 20 different species of plants. Five of these plants are ferns.

Total number of species = 20

In that 20 species , 5 are ferns

WE need to find out how much percentage of 20 is 5

LEts make an equation. x be the percentage

x% of 20 is 5

\frac{x}{100} \cdot 20 = 5

\frac{x}{5}= 5

Now multiply both sides by 5

x= 25

So 25% of 20 species plans is equal to 5 ferns

5 out of 20 plants can be written as 5/20.  

A percentage is just a fraction with the denominator being 100.  
100 / 20 = 5. 
5 X 5 = 25
25/100

25% of the garden is made up of ferns

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2}

x = -\frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve Using the Quadratic Formula

     4x^2 + 8x − 5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

    −b ± √b^2 − 4 (ac)

     -------------------------

               2a

Substitute the values a = 4, b = 8, and c = −5 into the quadratic formula and solve for x.

    −8 ± √82 − 4 ⋅ (4 ⋅ −5)

     -------------------------

              2 ⋅ 4

Simplify the numerator.

Raise 8 to the p ower of 2.

     −8 ± √64 − 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ −5

x=     ---------------------------

               2 ⋅ 4

Multiply −4 by 4.

        −8 ± √64 − 16 ⋅ −5

x =       -------------------------

                2 ⋅ 4

Multiply −16 by −5.

        −8 ± √64 + 80

x =       -------------------

               2 ⋅ 4

Add 64 and 80.

        −8 ± √144

x =        --------------

             2 ⋅ 4

Rewrite 144 as 12^2.

        −8 ± √122

x =       ------------

            2 ⋅ 4

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

multiply 2 by 4          

        −8 ± 12

x=     ------------

            8

simplify

    −2 ± 3

x=   ---------

        2

The final answer is the combination of both solutions.

x= 1/2, -5/2

Hope this helped!

2*3 = 6 teaspoons per day per child
6*5 = 30 teaspoons 
30*3 = 90 teaspoons 
You need 90 teaspoons

1 teaspoon = 4.9289 mL
90*4.9289 = 443.6010 mL
443.6010 / 150 = 2.9573 bottles

You need at least 3 bottles

Let f(x) = -2x + 7 and g(x) = -6x + 3. Find fxg and state its domain.
marissa [1.9K]

Option D: (f\times g)(x)=12 x^{2}-48 x+21; all real numbers.

Explanation:

Given that the functions are f(x)=-2 x+7 and g(x)=-6 x+3

We need to determine the value of (f\times g)(x) and its domain.

<u>The value of </u>(f\times g)(x)<u>:</u>

The value of (f\times g)(x) can be determined by multiplying the two functions.

Thus, we have,

(f\times g)(x)=f(x)\times g(x)

                =(-2x+7)(-6x+3)

                =12x^2-6x-42x+21

(f\times g)(x)=12 x^{2}-48 x+21

Thus, the value of (f\times g)(x) is (f\times g)(x)=12 x^{2}-48 x+21

<u>Domain:</u>

We need to determine the domain of the function (f\times g)(x)

The domain of the function is the set of all independent x - values for which the function is real and well defined.

Thus, the function (f\times g)(x)=12 x^{2}-48 x+21 has no undefined constraints, the function is well defined for all real numbers.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
