Answer:

A. No real solution

B. 5 and -1.5

C. 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} \end{array}, with a being the x² term, b being the x term, and c being the constant.

Let's solve for a.

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {5^2 - 4\cdot1\cdot11} }}{{2\cdot1}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {25 - 44} }}{{2}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {-19} }}{{2}}} \end{array}

We can't take the square root of a negative number, so A has no real solution.

Let's do B now.

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {7^2 - 4\cdot-2\cdot15} }}{{2\cdot-2}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 120} }}{{-4}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {169} }}{{-4}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm 13 }}{{-4}}} \end{array}

\frac{7+13}{4} = 5\\\frac{7-13}{4}=-1.5

So B has two solutions of 5 and -1.5.

Now to C!

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ -(-44) \pm \sqrt {-44^2 - 4\cdot4\cdot121} }}{{2\cdot4}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 44 \pm \sqrt {1936 - 1936} }}{{8}}} \end{array}

\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 44 \pm 0}}{{8}}} \end{array}

\frac{44}{8} = 5.5

So c has one solution: 5.5

Hope this helped (and I'm sorry I'm late!)

Write an equation for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

  • y + 2 = - 3/2(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given line:</u>

  • y + 4 = 2/3(x - 2)

It has a slope of 2/3.

<u>Perpendicular lines have negative-reciprocal slopes, so the perpendicular slope is:</u>

  • m = - 3/2

<u>Find its equation provided it passes through the point (4, - 2):</u>

  • y - (-2) = - 3/2(x - 4)
  • y + 2 = - 3/2(x - 4)
