Answer:
x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )
x² + 6x = 5
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9
(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± 
( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Then
x = - 3 - ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
x = - 3 + ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
Just divide.
0.583333. . .
^ This is the thousandths place
Look at the number after that, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.
It's 3, so we round down to 0.583.
Answer:
4.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is parallelograms :-)
The area is 120/(1/4) or 120 x 4 or 480 square inches
the width is 6/(1/2) or 6 x 2 or 12 inches
to find the length, divide the area by the width
480/12= 40
40 inches
Hope this helps :)
