Set 500 to sum of distances traveled by both cars.
X^2 + 2x + 8 find the solution
1 answer:
x^2 + 2x + 8
First, we'll try using the AC method.
(Because the degree of the quadratic is 2, there are two solutions.)
We cannot split the term using the AC method.
We'll instead use the quadratic formula.
Plug in values.
(-2 +/- √4 - 32)/2
(-2 +/- √-28)/2
(-2 +/- i√28)/2
(-2 +/- 2i√7)/2
(-1 +/- i√7)
<h3>x = (-1 + i√7)</h3><h3>x = (-1 - i√7)</h3><h3>The two values of x are found.</h3>You might be interested in
Payment on Plan A = $300
x is the number of hours Jake works.
Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)
= $150 + $6.25(x)
= 150 + 6.25x
Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,
150 + 6.25x > 300
6.25x > 300 - 150
6.25x > 150
x > 24
The minimum vale for x which satisfies this inequality is 25.
Hence, x = 25.
