Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

8 boxes of toothpicks were given to at LEAST 25 students but 15 threw them out

8x= 8 boxes

At least 25= no less than 25 students

-15= the 15 that threw them out

x=boxes

the people= All real numbers

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Isosceles triangle, perimeter if the perimeter of isosceles triangle abc is 20 and the length of side ac is 8, what is one possi

Hoochie [10]

The perimeter = 20 and AC = 8

Now as it is not mentioned which sides are equal of the isosceles triangle ABC,

We have two possible situations.

If AC is the base

In that case AB = BC

Now AC = 8, AB = x , BC = x

So x + x + 8 = 20

2x + 8 = 20

2x = 12

x = 6

AB = BC = 6

IF AC is not the base,

Then

AC = BC or AC = AB

So BC = 8 or AB = 8

If AB = AC = 8

Then

BC + 8 + 8 = 20

BC = 4

So there are two possible lengths of BC

Either it is BC = 8 or BC = 6 or BC = 4

The figure is attached for your reference.

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 1 = 0 using x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of the quantity b square

Answer:

$x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question here is asking you to use the quadratic formula which is expressed as: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

A quadratic can generally be expressed as: $y=ax^2+bx+c$

So using the equation you gave: $0=x^2-5x-1$

We can identify the following values: a=1, b=-5, c=-1

Btw the equation explicitly write "1" as the coefficient of x, but since it's not provided it's implied that it's 1.

So plugging in the known values, we get the following equation:

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}$

The last step just consists of taking the + and - solution, and since it asks for exact solutions you leave the 29 under the radical, and you don't approximate. There is no further simplification that can be done here.
