Answer:

$\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{3i\sqrt{7} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this equation with the quadratic formula which is:

$m_{1,2}=\frac{-b+or-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

All you need to do is rearrange the equation (add $-\frac{11}{2}$ to both sides and then multiply both sides by 2) to get:

$2m^2-5m+11=0$

From this new equation, we can easily see that a = 2, b = -5, and c = 11 AND you don't have to work with as many fractions. Substitute the values for a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to get:

$m_{1,2}=\frac{5+or-\sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(2)(11) } }{2(2)}$

That simplifies to:

$\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{\sqrt{25-88} }{4}$

Which simplifies even further to:

$\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{\sqrt{-63} }{4}$

Which gets you:

$\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{3i\sqrt{7} }{4}$

P.S. The plus-minus sign wasn't working for me, so I had to just write, "+or-". I hope that didn't make it too confusing for you.

P.P.S. Hope this helps :) Don't forget to mark Brainliest if it did.

Marco needs to buy some cat food. At the nearest store, 5 bags of cat food cost $18.75. How much would Marco spend on 3 bags o

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

5 bags = $18.75

To find the amount for three bags, we need to find the price for <em>each </em>bag.

Divide 18.75 by 5.

18.75/5 = 3.75

So each bag is 3.75, and since we need to know the price for 3 bags, we need to multiply 3.75 by 3, which is 11.25.

Yanka [14]

There are only two possible outcomes in the table that satisfy <em>x</em> ≤ -3; either <em>x</em> = -5 or <em>x</em> = -3. Then

P(<em>x</em> ≤ -3) = P(<em>x</em> = -5) + P(<em>x</em> = -3) = 0.17 + 0.13 = 0.3
