(1/2)x² - (5/4)x - 3 = 0

0.5x² - 1.25x - 3 = 0

Comparing to the quadratic function, ax² + bx + c = 0,    
a = 0.5,  b = -1.2,  c = -3.

Sum of roots = -b/a   =    -(-1.25)/0.5 =    1.25/0.5 = 2.5

2.5 = 5/2  Option (a)

A) The inverse of the statement is the opposite. The statement stated that if two lines do not intersect, they are parallel. So, the opposite would be if two lines intercept, they are parallel. This inverse statement is false because, that is not true. Parallel lines mean they never intercept, not if they intercept its parallel.

b) Converse means to engage or explain, I think…so, the converse of the statement would be that yes, it is true that when two lines do not intercept then they are parallel. Because parallel lines never cross or meet, meaning they will NEVER ever have a crossing point.

c) the contrapositive of the statement would be: if two lines do not cross then they are parallel. If they do intercept, then they are not parallel. As simple as that. I think contrapositive means that…I looked what contrapositive means…so I think I’m right.

I hope this helps!! Or some at least. :)

Good luck!

Step-by-step explanation:

  • u·(u−v)+v·(v−u)
  • u^2 - uv + v^2 - vu
  • u^2 - 2uv + v^2
  • (u -v)^2 OR (v-u)^2
  • (4.3 - 2.3)^2

An equation is shown below:
maw [93]
Part A: 1 solution


Part B:
4(3d −7) = −52

(4)(3d) + (4)(-7)= -52

12d + -28 = -52

12d - 28 = -52

12d - 28 + 28 = -52 + 28

12d = -24

12d/12 = -24/12

d = -2
