Divide given eq. by -2, we get, x^2-4x+0.5=0. Here a=1, b=-4 and c=0.5. As disccriminant is given by sqrt(b^2-4*a*c).so sqrt((-4)^2-4*1*0.5)=3.7417.
Real roots are x1,2=-b+-discriminant
x1=-4+3.7417=-0.2583 and x2=-4-3.7417=-7.7417

A rectangular prism has a length of 3/4 cubic inch and a width of 1/2 inch. The volume is 21/32 cubic inch. Find the height of t
Oliga [24]
21 / 32 = (3/4) * (1/2) * height

21 / 32 = (3 / 8) * height

21 / 32 * (3 / 8) = height =

63 / 256 inches

Janet reads 1/8 of her book on Monday.She reads another 2/8 of the book on Tuesday. How much of the book remain unread?
xxTIMURxx [149]
So just add 1/8 and 2/8. add 1 plus 2 and the denominator (bottom number) stays the same so you get 3/8 then subtract 8/8 minus 3/8 so just 8 minus 3 is 5 and the denominator stays the same so you end up with 5/8 so 5/8 of the book remains unread

If an object is propelled upward from a height of s feet at an initial velocity of v feet per​ second, then its height h after t
Sergio039 [100]

From the given information we can write the equation:

-16t^2 +96t + 4 = 112

-16t^2 + 96t + 4 - 112 = 0

-16t^2 + 96t - 108 = 0

simplify, change the signs, divide by -4

4t^2 - 24t + 27 = 0


You can use the qudratic formula but this will factor to

(2t-3)(2t-9) = 0

Two solutions

t = 3/2

t = 1.5 seconds at 112 ft on the way up

and

t = 9/2

t = 4.5 seconds at 112 ft on the way back down

Graphically, (green line is 112 ft)
