-2x^2 + 5x -3 =0

Find the discriminate:

In the given formula a = -2, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminate is found using the formula b^2 - 4(ac)

Replace the letters with their values:

5^2 - 4(-2*-3)

25 - 4*6

25-24 = 1

When the discriminate is greater than or equal to 0, there are two real solutions.

The answer is c) 2

Describe a sequence of transformations that can be performed to polygon ABCDE to prove that it is similar to polygon FGHIJ

maxonik [38]

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCDE go through dilation over center (6 , -2) with factor of 1/2 to FGHIJ

AB // FG slope: -2 , √20:√5 = 2: 1

BC // GH // X axis 8:4 = 2:1

CD // HI, slope= 1 , √8:√2 = 2:1

DE // IJ // x axis, 4:2 = 2:1

EA // JF // y axis, 2:1

Which conversion factors are used to multiply to 18cm/ s to get meters per minute?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Remark

The short answer is you multiply 0.6 times the cm/s to get m/min.

Solve

Though you didn't ask for it, here's the way it is done. Notice that each set of brackets cancels the units of a set of brackets to the left of the set of brackets you are observing. This is called unit analysis. The answer is given below.

$\frac{18 cm}{sec} *[\frac{60 cm}{1 min}] * [\frac{1 m}{100 cm}] = 18*0.6\frac{m}{min}=10.8\frac{m}{min}$
