Divide mixed numbers

Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation. SHOW ALL WORK. 2 −8+41 = 0

horsena [70]

Answer:

Solving the equation $x^2-8x+41=0$ using quadratic formula we get $x=4+5i \ or \ x=4-5i$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $x^2-8x+41=0$ using quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is:

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

where a=1, b=-8 and c=41

Putting values in formula and finding x

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$\\$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(1)(41)}}{2(1)}$\\$x=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{64-164}}{2}$\\$x=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{-100}}{2}$\\We \ know \ \sqrt{-1}=i\\x=\frac{8\pm10i}{2}\\x=\frac{8+10i}{2} \ or \ x=\frac{8-10i}{2}\\x=4+5i \ or \ x=4-5i$

So, Solving the equation $x^2-8x+41=0$ using quadratic formula we get $x=4+5i \ or \ x=4-5i$

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:it will take the two plants 6 weeks before the heights are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill planted two flowers in her garden.

The first flower is 2 inches tall, and it is growing 2.25 inches each week. Since the growth rate is in an arithmetic progression, we will apply the formula for finding the nth term of the series

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Tn = the nth height of the first flower

a = the initial height of the first flower

d = the common difference in height of the first flower weekly

n = number of weeks

From the information given,

For the first flower,

a = 2

d = 2.25

Tn ?

n ?

Tn = 2 + (n - 1)2.25

For the second flower,

a = 5.75

d = 1.5

Tn ?

n ?

Tn = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5

To determine the number of weeks that it will take until the two plants are the same height, we would equate Tn for both flowers. It becomes

2 + (n - 1)2.25 = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5

2 + 2.25n - 2.25 = 5.75 + 1.5n - 1.5

Collecting like terms

2.25n - 1.5n = 5.75 - 1.5 - 2 + 2.25

0.75n = 4.5

n = 4.5/0.75

n = 6 weeks

Steve sold 36 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser. Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold. How many fruit bask

xeze [42]

Answer:

9 fruit baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Steve sold 36 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser.

Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.

Question asked:

How many fruit baskets did Evie sell?

Solution:

As given that Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.

Number of baskets sold by Evie = 25% of 36

$=\frac{25}{100}\times36\\\\ =\frac{900}{100}\\ \\=9$

Thus, 9 fruit baskets sold by Evie.
