Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Tax Rate = 8.25%

Book Sales Cost = $18.50

Book Sales Tax = 8.25% x $18.50

= 8.25/100 x $18.50

= 0.0825 x $18.50

Book Sales Tax = $1.53

$1.53

8.25 x 18.50 = 152.625
152.625/100 = 1.52625

1.52625 rounded to the nearest cent is $1.53

Which are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2=9x+6

AlekseyPX

I will use a quadratic formula:

$x^2=9x+6\ \ \ \ |-9x-6\\\\x^2-9x-6=0\\\\a=1;\ b=-9;\ c=-6\\\\b^2-4ac=(-9)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-6)=81+24=105\\\\\sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{105}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-(-9)-\sqrt{105}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{9-\sqrt{105}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-9)+\sqrt{105}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{9+\sqrt{105}}{2}$
