Which equation has the solutions x = 5+/- 2 the squire root of 7 over 3

1 answer:

5 0

If you look at the quadratic formula:

x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

We can say that -b=5, b=-5

If I read it right you had ±2√7 which is equal to ±√28, and we know b=-5 so:

±√(25-4ac)=±√28

And since 3=2a, a=1.5 making the above:

±√(25-6c)=±√28

25-6c=28

-6c=3

c=-0.5

So a=1.5, b=-5, and c=-0.5 thus

y=1.5x^2-5x-0.5

We can check this by reapplying the quadratic formula to the equation above

x=(5±√(25-4(1.5)(-0.5))/3

x=(5±√(25+3))/3

x=(5±√28)/3

x=(5±√(4*7))/3

x=(5±2√7)/3

The ratio of the number of dogs the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue Farm. The number of dogs is 4/5.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<em>Here is the complete question:</em>

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ $c+d=270$ ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ $4c=5d$

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ $c+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ $d=120$

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ $120$

Statement is true.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ $216$

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ $c-d =30$

⇒ $150-120=30$

Statement is true.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ $150$

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.

A landscaper wants to find the answer to the question “How much time do people in Raleigh, North Carolina, spend doing yard work

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The result will be inaccurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A landscaper wants to find the answer to the question “How much time do people in Raleigh, North Carolina, spend doing yard work in one week?”

He asks the owners of all 120 houses in a Raleigh neighborhood.

The results of such a survey can never be accurate.

Firstly, the sample is not random as the person selected all the 120 houses in the neighborhood.

Secondly, few samples do not represent a large population. The city must have many lawns and the lawns of a single area does not denote the lawns of the entire city.

So, the results will be inaccurate.
