We have x^2 + 2 · x · (11/2) + (11/2)^2 = - 24 + (11/2)^2;
Then, ( x + 11/2 )^2 = -24 + 121/4;
( x + 11/2 )^2 + 96/4 - 121/4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - 25 / 4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - (5/2)^2 = 0;
( x + 11/2 - 5/2)·( x + 11/2 + 5/2 ) = 0;
( x + 6/2 )·( x + 16/2 ) = 0;
( x + 3 )· ( x + 8 ) = 0;
x = - 3 or x = -8;
The first choice is the correct answer.
The answer that i got is C
This is the concept of proportionality, we are required to calculate for the number of hours two crews can use to paint the house altogether.
Here proceed as follows;
number of hours new crew can paint=12 hrs
portion of work painted by new crew in 1 hour= 1/12
number of hours experienced crew can paint=6 hours
Portion of work painted by experienced crew in 1 hour=1/6
Portion of work painted by the two crews altogether in 1 hour will be:
1/6+1/12=1/4
thus the total amount of hours that the two painters will take to paint will be:
4 hours
Answer:
B: y = -2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 - 1 = -3
9 - 3 = 6
= -2
gradient = -2
3 = 1 x -2 + c
3 = -2 + c
5 = c
y intercept = 5
equation = y = -2x + 5
so the answer is option b
