The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.

What is the solution to -x2 + 5x - 3
CaHeK987 [17]

The solution to the equation is x=\frac{5-\sqrt{13}}{2} and x=\frac{5+\sqrt{13}}{2}

Explanation:

Given that the equation is -x^2+5x-3=0

We need to determine the solution of the equation.

The solution of the equation can be determined using the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is given by

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

Hence, from the equation, we have,

a=-1,\:b=5,\:c=-3

Substituting these values in the quadratic formula, we get,

x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-3\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}

Simplifying, we get,

x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{25-12}}{-2}

Simplifying the terms within the root, we get,

x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{13}}{-2}

Thus, the roots of the equation are x=\frac{-5+ \sqrt{13}}{-2} and x=\frac{-5- \sqrt{13}}{-2}

Taking out the negative sign, we get,

x=\frac{-(5- \sqrt{13})}{-2} and x=\frac{-(5+ \sqrt{13})}{-2}

Cancelling the negative sign, we get,

x=\frac{5-\sqrt{13}}{2} and x=\frac{5+\sqrt{13}}{2}

Thus, the solutions of the equation are x=\frac{5-\sqrt{13}}{2} and x=\frac{5+\sqrt{13}}{2}

An astronaut weighs 685 N on earth. What would the astronaut's weight (in FORCE) be on Jupiter where gravity= 25.9 m/s2? (*Tip:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure by now you have learned the difference between mass and weight. Mass will never change regardless of where something is while weight changes depending upon the pull of gravity. If we want the mass, then we have to take the weight on Earth and divide by its pull of gravity. The equation for that will be

W = mg where W is the weight in Newtons, m is mass and g is gravity.

685 = m(9.8) so

m = 7.0 × 10¹ kg

Now that we know that mass, and also because we know that the mass is constant no matter where the astronaut is, we can find his weight on Jupiter.

W = (7.0 × 10¹)(25.9) so

W = 1800 N

An angle measures 51.4° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

70.7 deg, 19.3 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90 deg.

One angle measures x.

The other angles measures 51.4 deg less than x, or x - 51.4.

The sum of their measures equals 90.

x + x - 51.4 = 90

2x - 51.4 = 90

2x = 141.4

x = 70.7

x - 51.4 = 70.7 - 51.4 = 19.3

Answer: 70.7 deg, 19.3 deg
