Answer:

\large\boxed{B)\ 2\frac{1}{2},\ -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are for y = 0.

We have the equation:

y=2x^2-3x-5

Therefore

2x^2-3x-5=0\\\\2x^2+2x-5x-5=0\\\\2x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\\\(x+1)(2x-5)+0\iff x+1=0\ \vee\ 2x-5=0\\\\x+1=0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\boxed{x=-1}\\\\2x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\2x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=2\frac{1}{2}}

Line RS bisects PQ at point R. Find RQ if PQ = 4 3/4
svetlana [45]
PQ is bisected by RS at R. It means that PRQ is a line segment with PR = RQ and each of half of PQ.

RQ = PQ/2  =  1/2 [ 4 3/4 ] = 1/2 * 19/4 = <em>19/8 </em> =  2 3/4

Ninety percent of a town’s population owns cars. If the number of cars owned is 4761, what is the population of the town?
Nuetrik [128]

We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:

90% * p

We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:

90% * p = 4761.

From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9

p = 4761/0.9 = 5290

The population is 5290 people.

Which compound inequality is equivalent to the absolute value inequality |bl&gt; 6?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

b > -6 or b < 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value operator always returns a positive number, with |b| = b if b > 0, and |b| = -b if b 0. With this in mind, consider the following inequality:

  • |b| > 6

Because of the absolute value operator, this is valid for b values larger than 6 and less than -6. As a result, the compound inequality that this circumstance illustrates is:

  • b< -6 or b > 6
