You start by changing the fraction into a decimal.

4.5 lb. of ground beef= 16.11

6.25 lb. of ground turkey= 18.50

Next, you divide the amount they cost by the pounds to get the price per pound.

16.11÷4.5= 3.58

18.50÷6.25= 2.96

So, a pound of beef is $3.58, and a pound of turkey is $2.96.

The turkey is 62 cents less than the beef per pound.

That means the turkey is a better buy! :)

(Have a good day! :))

7. Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

morpeh [17]

Hey there!

Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

Answer :

x = -4 or x = 2 ✅

Explanation :

Quadratic formula : ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0

The number of real-number solutions (roots) is determined by the discriminant (b² - 4ac) :

If b² - 4ac > 0 , There are 2 real-number solutions

If b² - 4ac = 0 , There is 1 real-number solution.

If b² - 4ac < 0 , There is no real-number solution.

The roots of the equation are determined by the following calculation:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Here, we have :

a = 1
b = 2
c = -8

1) Calculate the discriminant :

b² - 4ac ⇔ 2² - 4(1)(-8) ⇔ 4 - (-32) ⇔ 36

b² - 4ac = 36 > 0 ; The equation admits two real-number solutions

2) Calculate the roots of the equation:

▪️ (1)

$x_1 = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - \sqrt{36} }{2(1) } \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - 6}{2} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 8}{2} \\ \\ \blue{\boxed{\red{x_1 = -4}}}$

▪️ (2)

$x_2 = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + \sqrt{36} }{2(1)} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{4}{2} \\ \\ \red{\boxed{\blue{x_2 = 2}}}$

>> Therefore, your answers are x = -4 or x = 2.

What is the the y-intercept and x-intercept of the line. 4x - 4y= 36

algol13

Answer:

x-intercept: (9,0)

y-intercept: (0,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept and y-intercept is the point at which a line intersects the x-axis and y-axis, respectively. All points on the x-axis have a y-value of 0, while all points on the y-axis have an x-value of 0. Thus, to find the x and y intercepts, substitute 0 for one of the variables in the equation, then solve for the other.

1) To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y. Then, isolate x.

$4x-4(0)=36\\4x-0=36\\4x = 36\\x = 9$

So, the x-intercept must be (9,0).

2) To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x. Then, isolate y.

$4(0)-4y = 36\\0-4y = 36\\-4y = 36\\y = -9$

So, the y-intercept must be (0,-9).
