What is the solution set of the equation? p2 – 12p = 13 The solution set is

1 answer:

4 0

p² - 12p = 13
  p² - 12p - 13 = 0
  p² - 13p + p - 13 = 0
p(p) - p(13) + 1(p) - 1(13) = 0
p(p - 13) + 1(p - 13) = 0
  (p + 1)(p - 13) = 0
  p + 1 = 0 or p - 13 = 0
  - 1 - 1 + 13 + 13
p = -1 p = 13

The solution set of the equation is {-1, 13}.

There is 1/4 ounce of yeast in every 2 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. A recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of yeast. How many ounces of yeast

MrRissso [65]

1/4 ounce of yeast ... 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
x ounce of yeast = ? ... 2 teaspoons of yeast

If you would like to know how many ounces of yeast need to be in the recipe, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/4 * 2 = x * 2 1/4
1/2 = x * 9/4 /*4/9
x = 1/2 * 4/9
x = 2/9

Result: 2/9 ounce of yeast needs to be in this recipe.
