Alrighty
remember

so

which simplifies to
1=x²+4x-5
minus 1 both sides
0=x²+4x-6
use quadratic formula or complete the square

and

2 solutions
Answer:
B -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+8y = 11
We need to get the equation in the slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x+8y = -4x+11
8y = -4x+11
Divide by 8
8y/8 = -4x/8 +11/8
y = -1/2x +11/8
The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is 11/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."
In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows
2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .
So the statement is true.
B)
"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."
This statement appears to be false based on information provided
No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.
C)
"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.
"
This statement prima-facie appears to be true because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .
D )
"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"
this statement is true
as change in one year = .4
change in 5 years = 5 x .4
1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
you want to divide 7 and 4, you should get 1.75.
