Answer: There are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of students eat in the cafeteria = 120
Fraction dislike lime beans =
Fraction who dislike lime beans and brussles sprouts both =
Fraction who dislikes lime beans but not brussles is given by
So, Number of students who like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans is given by
Hence, there are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve Using the Quadratic Formula
4x^2 + 8x − 5 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
−b ± √b^2 − 4 (ac)
-------------------------
2a
Substitute the values a = 4, b = 8, and c = −5 into the quadratic formula and solve for x.
−8 ± √82 − 4 ⋅ (4 ⋅ −5)
-------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Simplify the numerator.
Raise 8 to the p ower of 2.
−8 ± √64 − 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ −5
x= ---------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −4 by 4.
−8 ± √64 − 16 ⋅ −5
x = -------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −16 by −5.
−8 ± √64 + 80
x = -------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Add 64 and 80.
−8 ± √144
x = --------------
2 ⋅ 4
Rewrite 144 as 12^2.
−8 ± √122
x = ------------
2 ⋅ 4
Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
multiply 2 by 4
−8 ± 12
x= ------------
8
simplify
−2 ± 3
x= ---------
2
The final answer is the combination of both solutions.
x= 1/2, -5/2
