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

Julie works in chicago and has to pay $14 per day on tolls and $76 a day for gas. If she makes $19 an hour how many hours must s
enot [183]

Answer:

19 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

T = -14 -76 + 19h

The -14 is the cost for tolls, and the -76 is the cost for gas. The 19h is the amount she'll get per hour if she makes $19/hour. And T is the total profit

We want to solve for h if T = 260

260 = -14 -76 + 19h

+14      +14

274 = -76 +19h

+76    +76

350 = 19h

/19      /19

18.42 = h

She must work 19 hours.

Hope this helps!

Ugo [173]
There is a total of 66 socks on the floor the chance of picking up a red sock is 30 in 66 which is equal to a 45% chance.  After picking up one sock the chances of getting another red sock is 29 in 65 which is around 44%.  Now I believe your answer is 45% or around 30 socks.  I hope this helped but please let me know.
