You would have to multiply 2 feet by 10 to get 20 feet, so multiply 1/4 by 10 to get 5/2 inches. The length of a 20 ft. room on a blueprint would be 5/2 or 2.5 inches.

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In the scale used on a blueprint,

$\dfrac{1}{4}\ inch=2\ feet$

Length of a room = 20 feet

We need to find the Length of room in a blue print.

We will use "Unitary method":

$2\ feet=\dfrac{1}{4}\ inch$

$1\ feet=\dfrac{1}{8}\ inch$

So, $20\ feet=\dfrac{1}{8}\times 20=2.5\ inches$

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

Use the discriminant to determine what type of roots the equations will have, and categorize the equations according to their ro

topjm [15]

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ :

$\Delta=b^2-4ac$

If Δ < 0, then the equation has two complex roots $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}$

If Δ = 0, then the equation has one repeated root $x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex If Δ > 0, then the equation has two discint roots [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}$

$1.\ x^2-4x+2=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-4,\ c=2\\\\\Delta=(-4)^2-4(1)(2)=16-8=8>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=2\sqrt2\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm2\sqrt2}{2(1)}=\dfrac{4\pm2\sqrt2}{2}=2\pm\sqrt2\\\\==============================\\\\2.\ 5x^2-2x+3=0\\\\a=5,\ b=-2,\ c=3\\\\\Delta=(-2)^2-4(5)(3)=4-60=-56$

$3.\ 2x^2+x-6=0\\\\a=2,\ b=1,\ c=-6\\\\\Delta=1^2-4(2)(-6)=1+48=49>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{49}=7\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm7}{(2)(2)}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2,\ x_2=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\==============================\\\\4.\ 13x^2-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\13x^2=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x^2=\dfrac{4}{13}\to x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{13}},\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\\==============================$

$5.\ x^2-6x+16=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-6,\ c=16\\\\\Delta=(-6)^2-4(1)(16)=36-64=-28$

$7.\ 4x^2+11=0\qquad\text{subtract 11 from both sides}\\\\4x^2=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x^2=-\dfrac{11}{4}\to x=\pm\sqrt{-\dfrac{11}{4}}\\\\x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2}\ i,\ \bold{two\ complex\ roots}$

Solve each proportion.<br> 2/4=4/p-3<br>pls help

eduard

Answer:

$p=\frac{8}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{p} - 3$

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{p} - 3$ (simplify)

$\frac{1}{2}+3 = \frac{4}{p} - 3+3$

$\frac{1}{2}+3 = \frac{4}{p}$ (Add 3 to both sides)

$\frac{7}{2}= \frac{4}{p}$ (simplify)

$\frac{7}{2}p= \frac{4}{p}*p$

$\frac{7p}{2}=4$ (Multiply both sides by p)

$\frac{7p}{2}*2=4*2$

$7p=8$ (Multiply both sides by 2)

$\frac{7p}{7}=\frac{8}{7}$

$p=\frac{8}{7}$ (Divide both sides by 7)

2.5kg of apples cost £3.60 work out the cost of 3.5kg of apples

professor190 [17]

Answer:

£5.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the unit cost.

£3.60/2.5kg = £1.44/kg

To find out how much money 3.5kg of apples costs, we simply need to multiply the unit price by 3.5.

£1.44/kg * 3.5kg = £5.04.
