The zeros of a quadratic function are found where the graph intersects the x-axis. If the graph interects the x-axis in 2 places, we have 2 real solutions; if the graph intersects--or just touches--the x-axis in one place we have one real solution multiplicity 2; if the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all we have 2 imaginary solutions. Ours goes through the x-axis in 2 places so we have 2 real solutions. Choice A.

What is the answer please help

Answer:

B: 22.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540 degrees

(if you dont believe me you can turn a pentagon into three triangles, 3x180 = 540)

So you have four same angles say measure "x" degrees, and one final one that measures "5x" degrees, so 9x = 540, and x = 60

Unless I read the problem wrong, 60 degrees is the answer which is not an option :P

Edit: Yea I read it wrong, the final angle is 5 times the other four angles COMBINED, so that angle measures "20x" degrees.

The total would be 24x = 540, and so x = 22.5

PLZZZ CHECK ME<br><br> Is this correct, if not please help me.

Hello! For this question, you solve using order of operations, which you probably already have remembered as PEMDAS. Anytime a number is raised to the 0 power, that is equivalent to 1. 0.5^0 is 1. 250 * 1 is 250. x = 0 gives us the answer of 250. Now, let's solve for the number by the second power. 0.5² is 0.25. 250 * 0.25 is 62.5. x² gives us 62.5. Now, let's subtract the two numbers together. 250 - 62.5 is 187.5. Because the number is decreasing, the slope is negative, so the answer is -187.5. Your answer is correct.

Solve each equation below for x show all work and check your answer by substituting it back into the equation and verifying that

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The equations are

(a) x/3 = 6

(b) (5x + 9)/2 = 12

(d) 5/x = 20/8

The answers to the question are

(a) x = 18

(b) x = 3

(d) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) x/3 = 6

Therefore x = 3×6 = 18

x =18

Substituting the value of x in the above equation, we have

18/6 = 3 verified

(b) (5x + 9)/2 = 12

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives

(5x + 9)/2 × 2 = 12×2 = 24

5x + 9 = 24 or x = (24-9)/5 = 3

Substituting the value of x in the above equation, we have

(5×3 + 9)/2 = 24/2 = 12 verified

x = 3

Multiplying both sides by 4, we have

x/4×4 = 9/6×4 = 6

x = 6

Substituting the value of x in the above equation, we have

(6/4 = 9/6 = 3/2 verified

(d) 5/x = 20/8

Inverting both equations, we have

x/5 = 8/20

Multiplying both sides by 20 we have x/5 × 20 = 8/20 × 20 or 4x = 8 and x = 2

Substituting the value of x in the original equation, we have

2/5 = 2/5 = 8/20 verified

x = 2

Please help again thank you in advance

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral then all 3 sides are equal in length.

Equate any 2 sides and solve for x

4x = 3x + 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x = 5

hence

4x = 4 × 5 = 20

3x + 5 = (3 × 5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20

7x - 15 = (7 × 5) - 15 = 35 - 15 = 20

The lengths of the sides are 20 units
