Answer:

d)  1

Step-by-step explanation:

3a = –2b – 7

We have the point (a, -5) so b = -5

Substituting in

3a = -2(-5) -7

3a = 10-7

3a = 3

Divide each side by 3

3a/3 = 3/3

a =1

Carol's starting pay for her summer job is $10.25 per hour. Carol earns exactly 3 raises this summer.
kvv77 [185]
She starts off with $10.25 and gets a raise of $0.50, so she earns $10.75 per hour. Then she gets a raise of 10%, so then 10.75 x 0.10 = 1.075, so she earns $11.825 per hour. Then her third raise is $0.50 so she earns $12.325 per hour. The raise for next summer is 5%, so 12.325 x 0.05 = 0.61625, so she earns $12.94125.
She will earn about $12.94 per hour starting off next summer.

The length of a rectangle is 11 in. longer than its width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 in.write and solve an equation t
Tcecarenko [31]
I hope this helps you


width w


length w+11



perimeter =2 (width +length )


86=2 (w+w+11)


43=2w+11


32=2w


w=16

length = w+11=16+11=27

Which of the following equations have complex roots?
mestny [16]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots of quadratic functions occur when the <u>discriminant is negative</u>.

<u>Discriminant</u>

b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:\:ax^2+bx+c=0

Evaluate the discriminant of each of the given equations.

\textsf{A.} \quad 3x^2+2=0

\implies a=3, \quad b=0, \quad c=2

\implies b^2-4ac=0^2-4(3)(2)=-24

As -24 < 0 the equation will have complex roots.

\textsf{B.} \quad 2x^2+1=7x

\implies 2x^2-7x+1=0

\implies a=2, \quad b=-7, \quad c=1

\implies b^2-4ac= (-7)^2-4(2)(1)=41

As 41 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

\textsf{C.} \quad 3x^2-1=6x

\implies 3x^2-6x-1=0

\implies a=3, \quad b=-6, \quad c=-1

\implies b^2-4ac=(-6)^2-4(3)(-1)=48

As 48 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

\textsf{D.} \quad 2x^2-1=5x

\implies 2x^2-5x-1=0

\implies a=2, \quad b=-5, \quad c=-1

\implies b^2-4ac=(-5)^2-4(2)(-1)=33

As 33 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.
