Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0
3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7
1. The problem gives the following information: <span>Ashley said she drank 1/2 pints and Claire said she drank 0.7 pints.
2. Therefore, to solve this problem you must follow the proccedure that is shown below:
3. You must sum the amount of water that Ashley and Claire drank before the practice. Then, you have:
1/2 pints=0.5 pints (Ashley)
0.7 pints (Claire)
x=0.5 pints+0.7 pints
x=1.2 pints
</span><span>
How many pints of water did Ashley and Claire drink combined?
</span><span>
The answer is: 1.2 pints or 1 1/5 pints
