Answer: x = the quantity of 5 plus or minus the square root of 29 all over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is expressed as

x² - 5x - 1 = 0

The equation is already in the standard form of ax² + bx + c

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the given quadratic equation,

a = 1

b = - 5

c = - 1

Therefore,

x = [- - 5 ± √(- 5² - 4 × 1 × - 1)]/2 × 1

x = [5 ± √(25- - 4)]/2

x = [5 ± √29]/ 2

x = ( 5 + √29)/- 2 or x = (5 - √29)/2

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment with the given endpoints. Then find the distance between the two points. R
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Midpoint (-2,4)

distance nearest tenth = 8.9

The approximate distance = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas

PQ midpoint = (x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2

distance d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

Givens

x2 = -4

x1 = 0

y2 = 1

y1 = 7

Solution

M(PQ) = (-4+0)/2, (1 + 7)/2

M(PQ) = -2, 4

The midpoint is -2,4

The distance = sqrt( (4 - 0)^2 + (1 + 7)^2 )

The distance = sqrt(16 + 64)

The distance = sqrt(80)

The distance = 4√5           exactly

The distance = 8.94    

The distance = 8.9            To the nearest tenth

Question 2

The distance is rounded to the nearest whole number which is 9.

The side of a square is Two raised to the seven halves power inches. Using the area formula A = s2, determine the area of the sq
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square = s²

s is the side length of the square

Given

s = 2^{7 1/2}

s = 2^15/2

Area = ( 2^15/2)²

Area = 2^15

Hence two area of the square is 2^15 inches

During the summer, Hector does yard work, and Geri babysits.To show their earnings, Hector makes a graph, and Geri makes a table
VLD [36.1K]

I think that when you asked this question, no one answered because there is not enough information. I also got this problem and there is in fact, a table and a graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

for Hector, it only shows a y and x graph and for Geri it shows a table. let´s call the graph the ¨h¨ graph (for Hector) and the table is going to be called the ¨g¨ graph (for Geri)

on the h graph, it shows that y/x = dollars/time for Hector,

on the g table, it shows that Geri is getting paid $25.50 for each 3 hours and it keeps increasing within each input and output.

your y = your dollars

your x = your time

we are looking for slope and we need $15 over hours

15/x

the answer is that Hector earns $6.50 more than Geri
