<h3>Answer:   5</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0

x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0

x^2 + 1 = 5x

(x^2 + 1)/x = 5    .... where x is nonzero

(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5

x + (1/x) = 5

---------------

An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.

In this case,

p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2

q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this equation is not factorable, you can either use the quadratic formula, graph and look for its zeros, or other methods to get it's zeros.

But using the quadratic formula which always spits out a x value gives me:

4.791 and 0.209.

Now let's test both of these values since we have two x values.

(4.791+\frac{1}{4.791}) ≈5 (4.9999)

and

(0.209+\frac{1}{0.209}) ≈5 (4.9936)

Which of the following functions has the largest value when x = 4?
Stells [14]
e(4)=4^2+6 \times 4+21=16+24+21=61 \\ \\&#10;m(4)=8 \times 4=32 \\ \\&#10;v(4)=31 \times 4=124

v(x) has the largest value when x=4.

2. You bought items at Best Buy totaling $290.76. You have a 20%
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Discount = $290.76 × 0.2 = $58.15

Cost After Discount = $290.76 - $58.15 = $232.61

Sales Tax = 0.0625 × $232.61 = $14.56

How Much You Pay = $232.61 + $14.56 = $247.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount:

290.76 × 0.2* = 58.152

Round that to 58.15

* Turn 20% into a decimal (0.2)

Cost after Discount:

290.76 - 58.15 = 232.61

Sales Tax:

First turn 6.25 % into a decimal. Which would be 0.0625.

0.0625 × 232.61* = 14.556875

Then we round to the nearest hundredth and you get 14.56.

* We us the amount after the discount instead of the original price.

How much you pay:

232.61 + 14.56 = 247.17
