The correct answer would be

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.
<span>x^2=-5x-3 ----> add 5x to both sides.
x^2 + 5x = -3 ----> add 3 to both sides.
x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0
Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.
a = 1 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5</span> (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 3 (because it is the end number)
Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.



And those would be your two answers.
We have been given that Marcus works for 26 hours each week and 48 weeks each year.
Thus in a year he works for
hours.
Now, we have been given that Marcus earns $8.40 per hour.
Therefore, in 1248 hours, he earns

Marcus has to pay tax if he earns more than $10,000. Now we have calculated that he earns $ 10483.2 which is higher than $10,000.
Therefore, Marcus has to to pat tax.
Answer:
BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77
Step-by-step explanation:
AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2
(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2 y = (-3/2)x + 6 ... (1)
BM slope: BM⊥ AC m = 2/3
BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3
y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3
<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> ... (2) -2≤x≤0.31
intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3
(13/6) x = 2/3 x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31
y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54
M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)
segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helps you...........
