X2 - 8x + 15 = 0 quadratic formula

The quadratic formula is x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4(a)(c)))/2a

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x=(-(-8)+-sqrt((-8)^2-4(15)(1)))/2(1)

x=(8+-sqrt(64-60))/2

x=(8+-sqrt(4))/2

x=(8+-2)/2

x=10/2 and x=6/2

x=5 and x=3

We could do it way faster by completing the square:

x^2-8x+15=0

(x-5)(x-3)=0

x=5 and x=3

Hope both methods make sense! BTW, the +- thing means add or subtract

Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?

boyakko [2]

Here, to find the average rate of change, you would simply divide 270 by 63. And when that is done, you would get a long decimal. 4.285714285714286

And since you obviously can't put in such a long decimal as your answer, you would round it instead. Once rounded, you would end up with 4.29 (because the number after 8 is five, which rounds up, which would turn the 8 to 9.)
