I don't have my calculator handy just now. But just looking at that problem, why don't you try +20 and -45 and see if they do the job.

Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
Answer:
r = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we have to solve for the vallue of "r". We will use the distributive property shown below to ease our process.
Distributive Property:
a(b+c) = ab + ac
Now, lets solve this:
As we have seen the value of r is "1"
Answer:
1) 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
2) $32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
v(t) = 2t² - 12t - 14
v(t) = 2(t² - 6t - 7) = 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
x = -b/2a = 6/2 = 3
y = 2(3)² - 12(3) - 14 = -32
(3, -32) means at 3 months, -32 thousand dollars
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC is the geometric mean. Solve it using this proportion:
Now fill in the values we know:
Cross multiply to get
That means that
AC = 
, which, in decimal form is
AC = 11.40175425
