Answer:

x = -4/5 and -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"Finding zeroes" means find the x-values that make f(x) = 0, so we have...

0 = 10x² + 9x + 2

Use quadratic equation to solve...

x = [-9 ± √(9² - 4(10)(2))]/[2(10)]

x = [-9 ± √(81 - 80)]/20

x = [-9 ± √1]/20

x = [-9 ± 1]/20

x = (-9 + 1)/20 and (-9 - 1)/20

x = -8/20 and -10/20

x = -4/5 and -1/2

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

She sneezed for 138.286 weeks in a row. You need days of week to create a proper conversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 days in a week. There are 978 days shown.

You can depict it as this:

978 = 7x; x is the amount of weeks.

Divide both sides by 7

138.285714 = x

Round to three decimals

x = 138.286

Describe the motion of a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given interval. (For each answer, enter an ordered pai

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics of the motion of the particle is derived by eliminating $t$ in the parametric expressions. Since both expressions are based on trigonometric functions, we proceed to use the following trigonometric identity:

$\cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t = 1$ (1)

Where:

$\cos t = \frac{y-3}{2}$ (2)

$\sin t = x - 1$ (3)

By (2) and (3) in (1):

$\left(\frac{y-3}{2} \right)^{2} + (x-1)^{2} = 1$

$\frac{(x-1)^{2}}{1}+\frac{(y-3)^{2}}{4} = 1$ (4)

The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Harry = 10 toys

Mark = 20 toys

Sue = 20 toys

Step-by-step explanation:

H + M + S = 50

H = M - 10

S = 2H

Harry = 10 toys

Mark = 20 toys

Sue = 20 toys
