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

Which trail is the closest in length to 10.5 kilometers?
Yuliya22 [10]
First of all you calculate the difference between the numbers:
10.5 - 10.653 = -0.153
10.5 - 10.592 = -0.092
10.5 - 10.732 = -0.232
10.5 - 10.484 = 0.016

You then select the difference with the smallest number (ignoring the positive and negative symbols). That happens to be the last one.

This means that the answer will be D) Spruce Trail.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12
miskamm [114]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4
