1. A quadratic equation has the following form: ax²+bx+c.
2. The leading coefficient is the number that is attached to the variable with the highest exponent. Then, the "a" is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation.
3. The problem says that the leading coefficient is 1 (a=1) and the roots of the quadratic equation are 5 and -3. Then, you have:
(x-5)(x+3)=0
4. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain:
x²+3x-5x-15=0
x²-2x-15=0
5. Therefore, the answer is:
x²-2x-15=0
A. 1 pound of cherries costs 2.50
B. Yes it is constant
C. I believe that you would put cost on the y and lbs on the x
E. 5 lbs of cherries = 2.50 x 5 = $12.50
Answer:
32/20
Step-by-step explanation:
32 and 20 are both divisible by 4. 4*8=32 and 4*5=20. So this one works. Another way to think about it is if you put them as fractions and reduced them down to their simplest form, they would form the fraction 8/5.Oct 17, 2019
