Answer:

x = -2 or x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can just set up an equation where the quadratic is equal to -10, and then solve the equation:

2x^2+5x-8=-10\\2x^2+5x+2=0\\\\

Now, factor:

(2x+1)(x+2) = 0\\x=-2 \text{ or } x=-1/2

What divides each median into two sections at a 2:1 ratio? Question 6 options: a) circumcenter b) incenter c) centroid d) orthoc
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

C. Centroid

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumcenter is the center of a triangle's circumcircle (circumscribed circle over triangle). It can be found as the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.

The incenter is the center of the incircle (inscribed circle into a triangle) of a triangle. The incenter can be constructed as the intersection of angle bisectors.

Centroid is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

The intersection of the three altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocenter.

Since three medians intersect at point which divides each median into 2:1 ratio, the answer is centroid.

David, Ben, and Jordan shared stickers in a ratio of 8 : 9 : 10. If Ben had 36 stickers, how many stickers did Jordan have?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Jordan had 40 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this ratio, we have David:Ben:Jordan as 8:9:10, and so we need to make it as a more complex fraction, 8/9/10, now we need a multiplier to get us from 9 stickers of Jordan to 36, like a giant one. The common multiplier in this case is 4, and we know that the values must always stay proportional. We multiply everything by 4,and we get a final ratio of 32:36:40, and since Jordan is the last in the ratio David:Ben:Jordan, Jordan ends up with 40 stickers.
