Answer:

x = -1/2 ( 3±sqrt(37))

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x − 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 + 3x =7

Using complete the square

Taking the coefficient of x

3

Divide by 2

3/2

Square it

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

Add this to each side

x^2 + 3x+ 9/4 = 7+9/4

( x+ 3/2) ^2 = 28/4 + 9/4

( x+ 3/2) ^2 = 37/4

Take the square root of each side

x+3/2 = ±sqrt(37/4)

x+3/2 = ±sqrt(37) / sqrt(4)

x+ 3/2 = ±sqrt(37) / 2

Subtract 3/2 from each side

x = -3/2 ±sqrt(37) / 2

x = -1/2 ( 3±sqrt(37))

Answer:

-1.5 -√9.25 or -1.5 +√9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 7 = 0

This will not factor so we can use completing the square:

x^2 + 3x = 7

(x + 1.5)^2 - 2.25 = 7

(x + 1.5)^2 = 9.25

x + 1.5 = ±√9.25

x = -1.5 ±√9.25

Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.
Lena [83]
The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 w = represent the number of acres of wheat
 c = represent the number of acres of corn
 We write now the inequalities based is:
 "Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
 w + c <= 27
 "More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
 w> 5
 Answer:
 
two inequalities that represent this situation are:
 
w + c <= 27
 
w> 5

Which of the following geometric series converges?
Artist 52 [7]

All three series converge, so the answer is D.

The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.

Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is

S_n=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}

Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :

rS_n=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-1}+ar^n

Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:

S_n-rS_n=a-ar^n

Solve for S_n:

(1-r)S_n=a(1-r^n)\implies S_n=\dfrac a{1-r}-\dfrac{ar^n}{1-r}

Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term r^n will converge to 0, leaving us with

S=\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac a{1-r}

So the given series converge to

(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10

(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1

(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18

The formula to change F to C is F equal 9/5 C + 32. If the temperature is 21.5 C what is it in F?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

F=70.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple substitution problem.

  1. The formula to change Fahrenheit to Celsius is F=\frac{9}{5}\left(C\right)+32.
  2. They give you C, so substitute it into the problem, which would give you F=\frac{9}{5}\left(21.5\right)+32.
  3. Simplify the right side of the equation by multiplying \frac{9}{5} by 21.5.
  4. Now, add 32 to 38.7, which should have been your answer to the previous step.
  5. You should now have F= 70.7 as your answer.
