<h3>Answer: 2 different real number solutions </h3>

Both solutions are irrational.

===============================================

Explanation:

The given function f(x) = 5x^2+2x-12 is in the form f(x) = ax^2+bx+c

We see that

a = 5, b = 2, c = -12

Plug those values into the discriminant formula below

D = b^2 - 4ac

D = (2)^2 - 4(5)(-12)

D = 4 - 4(5)(-12)

D = 4 + 240

D = 244

Because D > 0, this means we have two different real solutions for f(x) = 0

The value of D is not a perfect square, so those two solutions or roots are irrational.

The value of y varies directly as x and y is 9 when x is -3 what constant of variation k?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Y/x=k

when y=9, then x= -3
9/-3=-3
⇒ k= -3

A cold tablet contains the following amounts of active ingredients: acetaminophen 325 mg, chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, and dex

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The number of tablets that can be prepared is 3076.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of active ingredients in the tablet is the sum of the amounts provided in the formula:

$325 mg + 2mg+15 mg=342 mg$

The percentages of each component in the formula are:

Acetaminophen: $\frac{325mg*100}{342mg}=95.03$ %

Chlorpheniramine maleate: $\frac{2mg*100}{342mg} =0.58$ %

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide: $\frac{15mg*100}{342mg}=4.39$ %

If 1 Kg= $10^{6}$ mg of acetaminophen is used, the needed amount of chlorpheniramine maleate would be:

$\frac{10^{6} mg *0.58}{95.03}=6153.85 mg$

Since there are 125 g = 125000 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate, there is enough of these ingredient to run the available acetaminophen out. Thus, the total amount of active ingredients that can be prepared with 1 kg of acetaminophen is:

$\frac{10^{6}mg*100}{95.03}=1052307.7mg$

Since each tablet weighs 342 mg, the number of tablets that can be prepared is:

$\frac{1052307.7mg}{342mg}=3076.923$

Which means that 3076 tablets can be prepared and a there will be a remanent of 0.923*342 mg = 315.69 mg of active ingredients.

Please help!! What Find the Error and explain why it is wrong!

Nata [24]

Answer:

First image attached

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply $2\cdot x -8$ by the negative sign in numerator. Step E must be $\frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}$ .

Second image attached

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the $2\cdot a \cdot b$ of the algebraic identity $(a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}$ . Step C must be $5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

First image attached

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply $2\cdot x -8$ by the negative sign in numerator. The real numerator in Step E should be:

$3-(2\cdot x -8)= 3-2\cdot x+8 = 11-2\cdot x$

Hence, Step E must be $\frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}$ .

Second image attached

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the $2\cdot a \cdot b$ of the algebraic identity $(a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}$ . Step C must be $5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4$

And further steps are described below:

Step D

$x^{2}-x+4 = 0$
