There are different ways to solve a quadratic equation, the main ones that i'm thinking about right now are:
1) factor the equation as a product:
ex: x^2+ 4x + 3 =0
(x+3) (x+1) = 0
x=-3 and x=-1 are the solutions.
To find (x+p) and (x+q) you have to think that (p+q )have to be equal to the number that is multiplied by x, in my example it was 4 (3+1=4), (p times q) have to be equal to the last number of the quadratic equation, the one that is not multiplied by any x, that in my example is 3 (3 x 1= 3)
2) The other way to solve a quadratic function is by using a formula:
given: ax^2 +bx +c=0
x= (-b +/- <span>√(b^2 -</span> 4ac)) / 2a
ex: 3x^2 + 4x -2=0
x= (-4 +/- √16-4(3)(-2)) / 6= (-4 +/- √16+24)/6= (-4 +/- <span>√40) / 6
now there are 2 possibilities: x= (-4+</span><span>√40) /6
and
x= (-4 - </span><span>√40) / 6
I hope the examples were clear enough also if i did't get very nice numbers. Look closely to the sings + and -, they are very important</span>
Given:
For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
To find:
The number of total seeds planted by Lara.
Solution:
It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
Let x be the number of total seeds planted by Lara. Then,
Therefore, the total number of seeds planter by Lara is 18.
The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
<span>_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ;
</span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].
________________________________________________
The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " .

Answer:
57 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
55.7 + 1.3 = 57 seconds
Answer:
-3x + y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is 3. So the coefficient of x is 3.
when x = 1, y = 5.
So 3*1 + c = 5
So c is 2.
So y = 3x + 2
Therefore, taking 3x to the LHS, we get,
-3x + y = 2
Hope it helps ;)
