3+-√(-3)^2 - 4(5)(-1)

Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way to do this is step by step. Your quadratic, from your entry, must be

$5x^2-3x-1$ .

Step by step looks like this, one thing at a time:

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(5)(-1)} }{2(5)}$ becomes

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9-(-20)} }{10}$ becomes

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9+20} }{10}$

and this of course is

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{29} }{10}$

Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.

If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign. If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.

Just my advice as a high school math teacher.

5x + 3y = -2

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

x = -1 , y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)

3 x + 2 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y/5 = 1/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 5:

{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -1 , y = 1

Blake is a member of a golf club. When he became a member, he deposited money into his club account. For each round of golf that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

D) Blake's account initially had $320, which is decreasing at the rate of $20 per round.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

x: The total number of golf rounds played

y: Represents the amount, in dollars, left in his account after playing x rounds

Let as assume A is the amount deposited initially.

y = A - n x here n : rate of each round played

Also, here

if x = 2, then y = 280

if x =4, then y = 240

If x = 2 and y = 280, then:

y = A - n x ⇒ 280 = A - 2 n ... (1)

If x = 4 and y = 240, then:

y = A - n x ⇒ 240 = A - 4 n ... (2)

Solving (1) and (2) by (1) - (2), we get:

40 = 2 n or, n = 20

Putting n = 20 in 280 = A - 2 n, we get: A = 280 + 2(20) = 320

⇒ A = $320, n = $20

⇒ The amount initially deposited is $320 and the rate per round is $20

Hence ,Blake's account initially had $320, which is decreasing at the rate of $20 per round.
