\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&P&(~ -4 &,& -6~) 
% (c,d)

Two trains are traveling at a constant rate. Which train has the greater speed?

natali 33 [55]

A point on the graph (for train b) that is exact is (2,250). From the origin, the rise is 250 and the run is 2. Rise/run would give us 250/2, which is 125. This means that train B travels 125mi every hour. For train A, we subtract the distance from hour 2 from hour 3 to get the miles per hour (because 3-2=1, subtracting the distance of hour 3 from 2 will give us the distance in 1 hour). 180-120= 60, meaning train A travels at 60mph. 60<125, meaning A

7x^2=9+x what are the values of x Will give medal and points

DENIUS [597]

7x² = 9 + x Subtract x from both sides
7x² - x = 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
7x² - x - 9 = 0 Use the Quadratic Formula

a = 7 , b = -1 , c = -9

x = $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ Plug in the a, b, and c values
x = $\frac{- (-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Cancel out the double negative
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Square -1
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Multiply 7 and -9
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(-63} }{2(7)}$ Multiply -4 and -63
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 252} }{2(7)}$ Multiply 2 and 7
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 252} }{14}$ Add 1 and 252
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{253} }{14}$ Split up the $\pm$
x = $\left \{ {{ \frac{1 + \sqrt{253} }{14} } \atop { \frac{1 - \sqrt{253} }{14} }} \right.$
The approximate square root of 253 is 15.905973.
x ≈ $\left \{ { \frac{1 + 15.905973}{14} } \atop { \frac{1 - 15.905973}{14} }} \right$ Add and subtract
x ≈ $\left \{ {{ \frac{16.905973}{14} } \atop { \frac{14.905973}{14} }} \right.$ Divide
x ≈ $\left \{ {{1.2075} \atop {1.0647}} \right.$ Round to the nearest hundredth
x ≈ $\left \{ {{1.21} \atop {1.06}} \right.$

mark's soup recipe makes 6 servings and uses 4 carrots and 2 potatoes. How many carrots and potatoes does he need for 15 serving

VLD [36.1K]

Let’s see, for 6 servings he needed 4 carrots, meaning every carrot was equal to 1.5 servings. 15/1.5 is 10, 10 carrots for 15 servings.
