Answer:

The 2 in the numerator should be -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quadratic equation

-2x^2+5x-3=0

We have to find error made by Zacharias.

We have a=-2,b=5,c=-3

Quadratic formula : D=b^2-4ac

Substitute the values in the given formula

D=(5)^2-4(-2)(-3)

Therefore, the 2 in the numerator should be -2 .This is the error made by Zacharias.

The equation 0 = -2x2 5x - 3 was the quadratic formula that Zacharias used. However, he started substituting as:
Quadratic formula as x = ; substitution as x

The errors he made: he mistakenly used the negative (-) and postive (+)
* -5 should have been 5
* 52 should have been -52
* both the numerator and the denominator should have been -2 instead of 2

Answer:

Each hotdog costs $1.65

Each juice drink costs $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by letting $x$ represent the number of hot dogs and $y$ the number of juice drinks.

The Baxter family bought 6 hot dogs and 4 juices for $14.10.

$6x + 4y = 14.10$

The Farley family bought 3 hot dogs and 4 juices for $9.15.

$3x + 4y = 9.15$

Now, we subtract these equations.

$6x + 4y = 14.10\\- (3x + 4y = 9.15)$

Since $y$ has reversed coefficients, it gets eliminated. Now solve for x.

$6x+4y-3x-4y=14.1-9.15\\3x = 4.95\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{4.95}{3}$

$\frac{4.95}{3} = 1.65$

$x = 1.65$

NOW, we find y by substituting x with 1.65 (in either equation).

We'll use the first equation.

$6x + 4y = 14.10$

$6(1.65) + 4y = 14.10$

$9.9 + 4y = 14.10\\4y = 14.1 - 9.9\\4y = 4.2$

$\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{4.2}{4} \\y = 1.05$

$x$ = 1.65

$y$ = 1.05

$x$ represents hotdogs and $y$ represents juice drinks.

Therefore, each hotdog costs $1.65 and each juice drink costs $1.05.

70 degrees! This is the answer. Notice that the triangle ACF is isosceles, therefore, 35, 35 degrees, and 110 the vertex at F, then AB is 180 deg, so 70 left!
