Answer:  -1 ± <em>i</em>√35

                  ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                     6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the quadratic equation,

X =  -b ±√b² - 4ac

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

             2a

From the given equation, -3x² - x - 3 = 0

where a = -3, b = -1, c = -3

Now substitute for the values in the formula above

x = -(-1) ± √(-1)² - 4(-3)(-3)

      ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                   2(-3)

x = 1 ± √ 1 - 36

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = 1 ±  √ -35

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = -1  ±  <em>i√35   this is because it has a negative root.</em>

<em>       ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻</em>

<em>            6</em>

<em> The answer is b</em>

Which is a unit rate?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

3 cookies/bag

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's define a unit rate. A unit rate is a ratio of the amount of one measurement to one unit of another measurement term. Unit rates can be expressed as fractions.

Now, here is something easier for you to remember: <u>the second unit always have to be something with the quantity of 1</u>.

In this case, "3 cookies/bag" shows how there are three cookies per, or in each bag--which means 1 bag. The second unit, which is bag, has the quantity of one.
