Answer:

  x = -4, 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.

__

A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.

__

When factored, the equation becomes ...

  (2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)

__

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

  x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4

  x = {-4, 5/2}

__

For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...

  product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10

Only the first and last choices have this product.

  sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2

Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.

Complete the input-output table:<br><br> x 3x + 7<br><br> 0 <br> 4 <br> 8 <br> 14
salantis [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0,

3x + 7

= 3 ( 0 ) + 7

= 0 + 7

= 7

When x = 4,

3x + 7

= 3 ( 4 ) + 7

= 12 + 7

= 19

When x = 8,

3x + 7

= 3 ( 8 ) + 7

= 24 + 7

= 31

When x = 14,

3x + 14

= 3 ( 14 ) + 14

= 14 ( 3 + 1 )

= 14 ( 4 )

= 56

1. The formula for the velocity of an object is d=v/t, where v is the object, d is the distance traveled, and t is the time the
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

you need to isolate t or time

you need to know distance between sun and earth and velocity of them in order to calculate how long it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

t*(d)=(v/t)*t\\td= v\\\\\frac{td}{d} =v/d \\t=v/d

to find time you multiply t to both sides then you cancel t from where velocity is and you get velocity by itself

now you mulipy d to both side to get v over d and time by itself
