Answer:  x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

                     ------------

                            2

Step-by-step explanation:

First write out the equation

x² - x - 20

Now we now write the equation by equating to 0

x² - x - 20 = 0

We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So

x² - x    =  20,

We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes

x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²

x² - ( ¹/₂ )²       = 20 + ¹/₄

( x - ¹/₂ )²       = 20  + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction

( x - ¹/₂ )²          =  ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4

Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have

x - ¹/₂               =  √⁸¹/₄

x - ¹/₂               =     √⁸¹/₂

Therefore,

                    x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

                          -----------

                               2

Jessica's teacher asks a class to find the largest number that is smaller than 4.5. Jessica's friend Jeevan gives the answer 4.4
Ber [7]
4.4 is not a whole number so it isn’t the largest number that is also less than 4.5. The correct answer could be 4

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, if you collide two objects together, all of the forces in the system would cancel out because energy conserved with the opposite and equal reactions.

Between two examples (2 identical billiard balls and 2 different toy cars), the easiest way to demonstrate Newton's third law is using the 2 balls, since they are identical in shape and mass. When pushing the two balls in the exact same way with the SAME force, the net force of the equation is basically 0;

F_f = F_1 + F_2 = ma - ma = 0

Therefore, A is correct.

If you pushed a toy car and a toy truck towards each other using the same force, the outcome would not be completely opposite since F = ma and masses are different. Instead, to have a completely opposite and equal reaction, the resulting direction and forces are different. The lighter car would accelerate more in the opposite direction to compensate for the lighter mass. Therefore, B is wrong because even though they are different sizes, newton's third law still happens in the resulting direction and forces, but are simply harder to explain due to so many differing factors.

C is wrong, because diameter of two objects has no correlation to the net force equations. Even if two objects have the same diameter, they could have different masses, shapes, elasticity, etc.

D is wrong, because it goes against Newton's 3rd law. Newton's 3rd law is a LAW. Meaning, it is ALWAYS true (unless in some distant future it's disproven). In any and every collision, energy is conserved in some way that net forces equal 0; either in friction, gravitational force, or resulting force, the net force is always 0.

Five books and four pens cost $800. One book costs $120. How much does one pen cost?
cestrela7 [59]
The cost of each pen is $50, because you spend $600 on books leaving $200 to buy FOUR pens, making it $50 per pen
