Answer:

  x=-2-\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}\ \text{and}\ x=-2+\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

  -2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

__

You can also use other clues:

  • the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
  • the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.

The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

__

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{4}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{88}}{4}=-2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

I need 50 gallons of milk replacer for calves and the powder mixture says it's 6.25 oz for 5 gallons how many oz of powder do I
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

62.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratio proportion method:

x:50::6.25:5

x = (50x6.25)/5

OR a more simple method is to do this:

5 gallons of milk require 6.25 oz. How many oz of powder do I need to get 10x that amount? Since 50 is 10x5, you do the same thing for 6.25, and get 62.5
