Answer:
p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
p^2 + 4p = 1
Take the coefficient of p
4
Divide by 2
4/2 =2
Square it
2^2 = 4
Add it to each side
p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4
(p+2) ^2 = 5
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)
p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)
Subtract 2 from each side
p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)
p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)
Answer:
Option 2, (-3+8)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Average: Sum of two numbers/ How many numbers
Sum: -3+8
Amount of Numbers: 2
(-3+8)/2
we know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts so...
17 gallons of root beer + 12 gallons of punch = 29 gallons in total
29 gallons ÷ 4 = 7.25 quarts
so she needs 7 bottles of quarts for her 29 total gallons.
Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)
1. x/8=5/16
You first start by multiplying x and 16
Then multiply 5 and 8
So now you have 16x=40
Finally divide 16 from each side
You get: x+0.4!
2. 5/12=15/x
Remember to cross-multiply!
Now we have 5x=180
Next divide 5 from each side
You get: x=36!
