A^2-a+12=0 I need the roots

Answer:

a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2-a+12=0

We will complete the square

Subtract 12 from each side

a^2-a+12-12=0-12

a^2-a=-12

The coefficient of a = -1

-Divide by 2 and then square it

(-1/2) ^2 = 1/4

Add it to each side

a^2 -a +1/4=-12 +1/4

(a-1/2)^2 = -11 3/4

(a-1/2)^2= -47/4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((a-1/2)^2) =sqrt(-47/4)

a-1/2 = ±i sqrt(1/4) sqrt(47)

a-1/2= ±i/2 sqrt(47)

Add 1/2 to each side

a-1/2+1/2 = 1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)

a =  1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)

a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))

At a fundraiser, students sold chocolate bars with almonds and chocolate bars with walnuts. The number of chocolate bars with al
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Total number chocolate bars with almonds sold were approximately 66.34 and total number chocolate bars with walnuts sold were approximately 34.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number chocolate bars with almonds be x

Also let number chocolate bars with walnuts be y

Given:

Number of chocolate bars with almonds that were sold one weekend was 3 less than 2 times the number of chocolate bars with walnuts.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

x=2y -3

Also given:

The number of chocolate bars with walnuts plus 4 times the number of chocolate bars with almonds was 300.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

4x+y=300

Now Substituting the value of x in above equation we get;

4x+y=300\\4(2y-3)+y=300\\8y-12+y=300\\9y=300+12\\9y=312\\\\y=\frac{312}{9} \approx 34.67

Now we will substitute the value of y in equation x=2y -3 we get;

x=2y-3 = 2\times34.67 -3 = 69.34-3\approx66.34

Hence, Total number chocolate bars with almonds sold were approximately 66.34 and total number chocolate bars with walnuts sold were approximately 34.67.
