You and a partner tend 3 machines that run continuously. One prints 200 plastic bottles per hour, one prints 180 plastic bottles

strojnjashka [21]

The first machine does 200 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will then do 200 * 8.5.

the second machine does 180 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will then do 180 * 8.5.

the third machine does 150 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will do then 150 * 8.5.

how many bottles will they all do in total on that time?

(200 * 8.5) + (180 * 8.5) + (150 * 8.5)

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 7 = 0, where x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 ti

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

Required

Solve for x using:

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

First, we need to identify a, b and c

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

So, by comparison with $x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

$a = 1$ $b = -5$ $c = -7$

Substitute these values of a, b and c in

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

$x = \frac{-(-5) \± \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * -7}}{2 * 1}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{25 +28}}{2}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Split the expression to two

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

To solve further in decimal form, we have

$x = \frac{5 + 7.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - 7.28}{2}$

$x = \frac{12.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{-2.28}{2}$

$x = 6.14$ or $x = -1.14$

3. A line goes through the points (3,4) and (-3,6).

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Part a) The slope is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Part b) The equation in point slope form is $y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)$

Part c) The equation in slope-intercept form is $y=-\frac{1}{3}x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the points (3,4) and (-3,6)

Part a) What is the slope of the line?

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given points

$m=\frac{6-4}{-3-3}$

$m=\frac{2}{-6}$

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Part b) Write the equation of the line in point-slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

$point\ (3,4)$

substitute

$y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)$ ---> equation in point slope form

Part c) Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)$

Isolate the variable y

distribute right side

$y-4=-\frac{1}{3}x+1$

Adds 4 both sides

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+1+4$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+5$ ---> equation in slope intercept form
