Answer:

<h3>x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 15x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides.

5x² - 15x = 4

The coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.

x² - 3x = 4/5

The coefficient of -3x is -3. Let b=-3.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=9/4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 9/4 to both sides.

x² - 3x + 9/4 = 61/20

Factor left side.

(x-3/2)² = 61/20

Take square root of both sides.

x-3/2 = ± √(61/20)

Add 3/2 to both sides.

x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)

What is the unit rate of 360 customers in 30 days
ad-work [718]
To find a unit rate, we need to divide the unit (days) by itself, and the x per y (customers) by the unit. In this case, we will be dividing 360 (number of customers) by 30 (days). When we do this, we can see that there are 12 customers per day.

How do invasive species usually affect the availability of natural resources in an ecosystem?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

"OC. Invasive species reduce the availability of natural resources for native species by outcompeting the native species for those resources"

Step-by-step explanation:

    Most invasive species reproduce / spread faster than the native species, so the availability of natural resources is reduced for the native species.

Have a nice day!
