Answer:
x = 3/2 or x = -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 2 x - 15 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.
x = (2 ± sqrt((-2)^2 - 4×8 (-15)))/(2×8) = (2 ± sqrt(4 + 480))/16 = (2 ± sqrt(484))/16:
x = (2 + sqrt(484))/16 or x = (2 - sqrt(484))/16
Simplify radicals.
sqrt(484) = sqrt(4×121) = sqrt(2^2×11^2) = 2×11 = 22:
x = (2 + 22)/16 or x = (2 - 22)/16
Evaluate (2 + 22)/16.
(2 + 22)/16 = 24/16 = 3/2:
x = 3/2 or x = (2 - 22)/16
Evaluate (2 - 22)/16.
(2 - 22)/16 = -20/16 = -5/4:
Answer: x = 3/2 or x = -5/4
All estimating problems make the assumption you are familar with your math facts, addition and multiplication. Since students normally memorize multiplication facts for single-digit numbers, any problem that can be simplified to single-digit numbers is easily worked.
2. You are asked to estimate 47.99 times 0.6. The problem statement suggests you do this by multiplying 50 times 0.6. That product is the same as 5 × 6, which is a math fact you have memorized. You know this because
.. 50 × 0.6 = (5 × 10) × (6 × 1/10)
.. = (5 × 6) × (10 ×1/10) . . . . . . . . . . . by the associative property of multiplication
.. = 30 × 1
.. = 30
3. You have not provided any clue as to the procedure reviewed in the lesson. Using a calculator,
.. 47.99 × 0.6 = 28.79 . . . . . . rounded to cents
4. You have to decide if knowing the price is near $30 is sufficient information, or whether you need to know it is precisely $28.79. In my opinion, knowing it is near $30 is good enough, unless I'm having to count pennies for any of several possible reasons.
The first blank is proportional because <span>two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. </span>If<span> one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled. Because of this, it is also called a direct variation. </span>
Answer: Choice [D] - "power of a power" ✅
Step-by-step explanation:
Hii, do you need to know which law you should use to simplify 
?
No problem!
The law we will use here is "power of a power".
What "power of powers" means is we raise a power to a power, which is exactly what we do here: We raise x^4 to the power of 9. To simplify our expression, we multiply the powers. (
)
So the right answer is: Choice [D] - "Power of a power"
The simplified answer is 
Voila! There's our answer, cheers!
