The answer is <span>252.5 ft

</span><span>y = –0.004x</span>²<span> + x + 2.5
Let's take y = 0 and we'll get the quadratic equation:

</span>–0.004x² + x + 2.5 = 0
The general formula for quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0

a = -0.004
b = 1
c = 2.5

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{ 1^{2}-4*(-0.004)*2.5} }{2*(-0.004)} = \frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1+0.04} }{-0.008} = \\ &#10;=\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1.04} }{-0.008} = \frac{-1+/-1.02}{-0.008}

x_1=\frac{-1+1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{0.02}{-0.008} = -2.5 \\ &#10;x_2=\frac{-1-1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{2.02}{-0.008} = 252.5

Since distance cannot be negative (x1), the correct answer is x2 = 252.5 ft

A bicycle shop sells only bicycles and tricycles. Altogther there are 23 seats and 50 wheels. How many bicycles and tricycles ar
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The number of bicycles is 19.

and the number of tricycles is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the number of seats in bicycles as well as in tricycles is 1.

The number of wheels in bicycles is 2

and the number of wheels in tricycles is 3.

Let the number of bicycles be x.

and the number of tricycles be y.

Thus using the given information we can make equation as,

x + y = 23

and, 2x + 3y = 50

Solving these two equations:

We get, x = 19 and y = 4

Thus the number of bicycles is 19.

and the number of tricycles is 4.

What is the value of the rational expression 2x^2+5x+9/x^2+2x-1 when x=-2
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The value of the Rational expression when x=-2 is: -7

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise is important to remember:

  • When a negative number is raised to an even power, the result will be positive.
  • The multiplication of signs:

       (+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-

Then, given the following Rational expression:

\frac{2x^2+5x+9}{x^2+2x-1}

You need to follow these steps in order to find its value when x=-2:

1. Substitute the given value of "x" (x=2) into the expression:

 \frac{2(-2)^2+5(-2)+9}{(-2)^2+2(-2)-1}

2. Evaluate and simplify:

\frac{2(4)+5(-2)+9}{4+2(-2)-1}=\frac{8-10+9}{4-4-1}=\frac{7}{-1}=-7
