Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
you want to start with the point on the left and then count 2 up to the line that the other point is on than you count over 5 to the point on the right
then you put rise over run which makes it 2/5
There are a few ways to find out the correct answer. One of them is to divide 2.40 by 6 to get a price of one cake and then multiply it by 10:
2.40 ÷ 6 = 0.40
0.40 * 10 = 4.00
Answer: Ten cakes would cost 4 pounds.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:
5x-2x^2+1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation. Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:
-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0. Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac: 25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33
Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.
-b ± √(discriminant)
Applying the quadratic formula x = --------------------------------
2a
we get:
-5 ± √33 -5 + √33
x = ----------------- = --------------------- and
2(-2) -4
-5 - √33
---------------
-4
