This is an absolute value function.
Answer:
-2 +/- [(sqrt 88)/ 4]
or
0.35, -4.35 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 8x - 3 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [ -8 +/- sqrt (8^2 - 4*2*-3) ] / 4
= -2 +/- (sqrt 88)/ 4
2:3:5
2x+3x+5x=180
10x=180
x=18
2x=36
3x=54
5x=90
Girls: 81
boys: 75
4x +6 = 156
4x = 150
x = 37.5
2x = 75
girls: 75 + 6
boys: x
Answer:
1. The first problem is wrong, it should be 0.5(3(15) + 2(20)) because the parentheses make sure that every purchased item is being divided by 2 (multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2)
2. The second problem is partially correct. The first two answers you have checked are correct, but the last one is wrong. The third answer should be 6 + 12 instead because that's just a simplified version of 2(3) + 6(2), meaning they are equal
3. I cannot read your answers in the "Why or Why Not" column in the third problem, but the answers you gave in the "Evaluate" and "Does It Work?" columns are all correct.
