astraxan [27]3 years ago

Answer: x = 6.32 or -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 6x + 10  = 0

No we divide the expression by 2 to make the coefficient of x² equals 1

We now have

x² - 3x + 5     = 0

Now we remove 5 to the other side of the equation

x² - 3x          = -5

we add to both side square of  half the coefficient of x which is 3

x² - 3x + ( ⁻³/₂)²  = -5 + (⁻³/₂)²

(x  -  ³/₂)²           = -5 + ⁹/₄

Resolve into fraction

(x  - ³/₂)²             = ⁻¹¹/4

Take the roots of the equation

 x - ³/₂               = √¹¹/₄

 x - ³/₂               = √11/₂

x                       = ³/₂ ± 3.32/₂

                         = 3+ 3.32 or 3 - 3.32

                         =  6.32 or - 0.32

A city water tank holds 20 gallons of water. A technician empties 25% of the tank. How many more gallons of water must be remove
Alja [10]

Answer: 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 100% in any full thing. When the water tank was full, it had 20 gallons. After 25% of the water was removed, there is 75% left (100% - 25% = 75%). 75% can also equal 0.75. 20 × 0.75 = 15 gallons.

HELP!!!! A quarter circle is attached to the side of a square as shown.
Paul [167]

Answer:

28.56 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to do for the quarter circle is use the following formula: 1/4(πr²)

(4 * 4) + 1/4(3.14 * 4²)

16 + 1/4(3.14 * 16)

16 + 1/4(50.24)

16 + 12.56

28.56 m²

The best approximation for the area of this figure is 28.56 m².

Nylah spent $16.72 on 12 ice cream bars. Her cost included $1.24 sales tax. How much did each ice cream bar cost?
il63 [147K]
If you use a calculator its easy

16.72 - 1.24 = 15.48
15.48 divided by 12 is 1.29

for sales tax 1.24 divided by 12 is .10

so for each one She spent $1.39
