9 sheep are left.

Solve for y x=y^2+4y

Lorico [155]

$x=y^2+4y\\ y^2+4y-x=0\\\Delta=4^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-x)=16+4x\\\\
1.\ \Delta0\\
\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16+4x}=\sqrt{4(4+x)}=2\sqrt{x+4}\\
y_1=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{x+4}}{2\cdot1}=-2-\sqrt{x+4}\\
y_2=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{x+4}}{2\cdot1}=-2+\sqrt{x+4}\\$

-----------------------------------------------------

$x=y^2+4y\\ y^2+4y-x=0\\
y^2+4y+4-4-x=0\\
(y+2)^2=x+4\\
y+2=\sqrt{x+4} \vee y+2=-\sqrt{x+4}\\
y=-2+\sqrt{x+4} \vee y=-2-\sqrt{x+4}\\$

on monday, the high was 60 degrees farenheit. On tusday, thus high was 18% more. How much did the high increase from monday to t

Mkey [24]

Answer:

10.8 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

If it increased by 18%, then multiply 60 * 1.18 to get 70.8, and find the difference.

Alternatively, you can just do 60 * .18 to get the answer directly.
