Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x - 20 = 0

x² - (5-4) x - 20 = 0 

x² - 5x + 4x -20 = 0

x ( x - 5) + 4 ( x - 5) = 0

(x - 5) (x+ 4) = 0

Either. 

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

Or, 

x + 4 = 0 

x = -4

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Option A is the important variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - At 9:45 a.m. a patient’s temperature was 101.5 degrees at 10:41, the nurse took the patients temperature again and found it was 105.8 degrees, the highest ever recorded.

The variable that is most important here is A: the number of minutes it took for the to reach its peak.

Firstly it is not mentioned if 10:41 is am or pm.

If its am, then such a temperature rise in less than an hour is very dangerous.

So, the important variable is option A.

Write the standard equation of the ellipse with center at the origin, and vertices at (-4,0), (4,0), (0, -3), and (0,3).

Answer:

(a) x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The form for the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin is ...

(x/(semi-x-axis))^2 +(y/(semi-y-axis))^2 = 1

The vertex values tell you the semi-x-axis is 4 units, and the semi-y-axis is 3 units. Then you have ...

(x/4)^2 +(y/3)^2 = 1

x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1

In case you don't remember that form, you can try any of the points in the equations. The equation that works will quickly become apparent.
