<u>Given</u>:

The given equation is x^{2} -3x-7=0

We need to determine the exact solutions of the equation.

<u>Exact solution:</u>

The exact solution of the equation can be determined by solving the equation using quadratic formula,

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

From the equation the values are a = 1, b = -3 and c = -7

Thus, substituting these values in the equation, we get;

x=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-7)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+28}}{2}

x=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{37}}{2}

Thus, the exact solutions of the given equation is x=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{37}}{2}

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Two equations are given below:
jeka94
Siince 2nd equation is already equal a, subsitute b-2 for a in the other equation

b-2-3b=28
-2-2b=28
add 2 to both sides
-2b=30
divide both sides by -2
b=-15
sub back
a=b-2
a=-15-2
a=-17

(a,b)
(-17,-15)

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

65,81,97,113,129


Step-by-step explanation:


she has 65 water bottles and she is buying boxes of water bottles (x) that hold 16 water bottles each. She can only buy up to 5 water bottles.



f(x) = 16x + 65...where f(x) = total water bottles and x = number of boxes


x < = 5 here is ur restriction



the range is ur f(x) values which represent the total number of water bottles...keep in mind, she can only buy 5. Therefore, the numbers that can be subbing in for x are 0 thru 5.



So when subbing in 0 thru 5 for x, the results for f(x) are :


{ 65,81,97,113,129 }
