Answer:
Q1: $1.2 Q2: 5 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
5x² + 5x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form
with a = 5 , b = 5 , c = 3
Solve using the quadratic formula
x = 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 
Then
x =
±
i
, that is
x = -
-
i
, -
+
i
If x² = 196, then we must do the inverse (square root) to find x. However, the square root of any positive number will always be ± (plus or minus).
That means you have to do:
√196 = x
x = <span>±14.
We can check this by doing:
14 </span>× 14 = 196
-14 × -14 = 196
Therefore the answer is B) -14, 14.
