Graciela was trying to solve the quadratic equation x2+2.5x−1.5=0 "I think I need to use the Quadratic Formula because of the de

cimals," she told Walter. Walter replied, "I'm sure there's another way! Can't we rewrite this equation so there aren't any decimals?"

Answer:

The answer to your question is  x² + 5/2x - 3/2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Quadratic equation           x² + 2.5x - 1.5 = 0

Process

1.- Convert the decimals into fractions

2.5 = 25/10 = 5/2

1.5 = 15/10 = 3/2

2.- Substitution

                                       x² + 5/2x - 3/2 = 0

3.- Conclusion

I rewrite the equation, now it is expressed in fractions. It could be solve by factoring.

Answer:

ŷ = 739.49X + 4876.43

y = 6755.98 - 388.24x + 125.30x²

y = 5428.98(1.09)^x

B.)

Linear:

ŷ = 739.49(9) + 4876.43

y = 11531.8

Year 2010 ; x = 10

y = 739.49(10) + 4876.43

y = 12271.3

Year 2011 ; x = 11

y = 739.49(11) + 4876.43

y = 13010.8

Quadratic :

Year 2009 ; x = 9

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(9) + 125.30(9^2)

y = 13411.1

Year 2010 ; x = 10

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(10) + 125.30(10^2)

y = 15403.6

Year 2011 ; x = 11

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(11) + 125.30(11^2)

y = 17646.6

Exponential:

Year 2009 ; x = 9

y = 5428.98(1.09)^9

y = 11791.2

Year 2010 ; x = 10

y = 5428.98(1.09)^10

y = 12852.4

Year 2011 ; x = 11

y = 5428.98(1.09)^11

y = 14009.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the online linear regression calculator :

The linear trend :

ŷ = 739.49X + 4876.43

Where x = year

With 2006 representing 1 ; and so on

Slope = m = 739.49

Intercept (c) = 4876.43

y = predicted variable

The quadratic model:

General form:

y = A + Bx + Cx²

y = 6755.98 - 388.24x + 125.30x²

The exponential model:

y = AB^x

y = 5428.98(1.09)^x

B.) Next three years :

Year 2009 ; x = 9

Year 2010 ; x = 10

Year 2011 ; x = 11

Linear:

ŷ = 739.49(9) + 4876.43

y = 11531.8

Year 2010 ; x = 10

y = 739.49(10) + 4876.43

y = 12271.3

Year 2011 ; x = 11

y = 739.49(11) + 4876.43

y = 13010.8

Quadratic :

Year 2009 ; x = 9

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(9) + 125.30(9^2)

y = 13411.1

Year 2010 ; x = 10

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(10) + 125.30(10^2)

y = 15403.6

Year 2011 ; x = 11

y = 6755.98 - 388.24(11) + 125.30(11^2)

Nine square tiles are laid out on a table so that they make a solid pattern. perimeters of the fiques that you can be formed?
Anastasy [175]
Let the side of one square be x.
The maximum perimeter will be when the squares will be lined end to end.
This will be:
x + 9x + 9x + x
= 20x

The perimeter of the figures formed will be less than or equal to 20x.

Find the missing numerators in each of the following problems. a. 10⁄15 = ⁄60 b. ⁄108 = 4⁄9 c. 7⁄11 = ⁄121 d. ⁄144 = 2⁄6
Zinaida [17]
We will find the numerator step by step for each expression:
 For 10/15 = x / 60
 x = (10/15) * (60)
 x = 40

 For  x / 108 = 4/9
 x = (4/9) * (108)
 x = 48

 For  7/11 = x / 121
 x = (7/11) * (121)
 x = 77

 For  x / 144 = 2/6
 x = (2/6) * (144)
 x = 48

Need help step by step​
shusha [124]
Y = mx + b

8x - 4y - 9 = 0

first you move the nine to the other side of the equal sign (add nine to both sides)

8x - 4y = 9

then you need to also move your 8x over to the other side as well (remember we are trying to get y by itself!)

- 4y = -8x + 9

then we are going to divide -4 to both sides

and you get

y = 2x - 9/4

we can then identify the slope as 2

so B. 2 would be your answer

hope this helped
