Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are finding the discriminant of the function

It needs to be written in the form ax^2 +bx+c =0

2x^2 +3x = -1

Add 1 to each side

2x^2 +3x+1 = -1+1

2x^2 +3x+1 = -0

b^2 -4ac

a=2 b=3 and c = 1

3^2 - 4(2)(1)

9 - 8

An architect in Brussels measures something to be 2.5 feet (using the Brussels measurement). How many feet is this in Aalst (usi

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

$2.487F$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Architect Measures 2.5 feet (using the Brussels measurement)

Generally in Brussels $1F=275.75mm$

Therefore

$2.5F=689.375mm$

Generally in Aalst $1F=277.2mm$

Therefore Mathematically converting to feet in Aalst measurement we get

$689.375mm*\frac{1}{277.2} =2.487F$

Who knows this, Find m∠UTS, if m∠UTV=x+15, m∠VTS=140∘, and m∠UTS=15x+15

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

165

Step-by-step explanation:

First, m<UTS=m<UTV+m<VTS by Angle Addition Postulate. Then, you substitute all the values that you provided for the angles. 15x+15=x+15+140. You then solve for x.

15x+15=x+155

14x=140

x=10

You then plug back in 10 for X in the value of m<UTS. 15(10)+15=165

Problem We can calculate EEE, the amount of euros that has the same value as DDD U.S. Dollars, using the equation E=\dfrac{17}{2

Tanzania [10]

Complete Question

We can calculate EEE, the amount of euros that has the same value as DDD U.S. Dollars, using the equation

E= 17/20 D

a) How many euros have the same value as 1 U.S. Dollar? euros

b) How many U.S. Dollars have the same value as 1 euro? dollars

Answer:

a) 0.85 euros

b) 1.18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as:

E= 17/20 D

a) How many euros have the same value as 1 U.S. Dollar? euros

E = 17/20D

D = 1 dollar

Hence:

E = 17/20 × 1

E = 0.85 euros

b) How many U.S. Dollars have the same value as 1 euro? dollars

E = 17/20D

E = 1 euro

1 = 17/20D

D = 1 ÷ 17/20

D = 1 × 20/17

D = 1.1764705882 dollars

D = 1.18 dollars

I dont get this at all

zhenek [66]

Continuous vs discrete is if you can count vs. measure the results. For example: you can run 13. 5 miles but you can't have 13.5 dogs. Miles (measurable) are continuous while dogs (countable) are discrete.

Qualitative results are when a result is not a number, and qualitative is when the result is a number. For example: if you're doing a lab and a result is either going to be "blue" or "green", that's qualitative, since those aren't number values. However, if you were measuring distance, that would be qualitative, since you would get a result of "6 meters" or "2.5 inches", which are numerical values.

The scale of measurement are the units in which you are measuring something it. For example: distance has units of inches, feet, miles, etc... and weight has units of grams, kilograms, tons, etc...

Hope this helps! -Alex :)
