The quadratic formula is the result of completing the square for ax^2+bx+c=0 when a,b, and c are unknown values. This result is:
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a), we have x^2-x-2=0 so
x=(1±√(1+8))/2
x=(1±√9)/2
x=(1±3)/2
x=-1 and 2
Valerie bought 18yrds of fabric. If she used 9yrds of fabric on her quilt, she will use another 9yrds on her sister's. The total is 18yrds.
Answer:
1. 9/16 * 12/13 = 27/52
2. 7/10 * 5/28 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
9 / 16 * 12/13
9 * 12 = 108
16 * 13 = 208
108 / 208
Simplify:
27/52
2.
7 / 10 * 5 / 28
7 * 5 = 35
10 * 28 = 280
Simplify:
1/8
