Answer:

a ≈ 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation as so:

8a^2 + 2 = 634

First, subtract two from both sides:

8a^2 = 632

Then, divide by 8 to further isolate the variable.

a^2 = 79

To get rid of the squared, you have to take the square root of both sides. The square root of 79 is roughly 8.9. Ergo, a ≈ 8.9

Use the discriminant to determine how many real number solutions exist for the quadratic equations -4j+3j-28=0

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

the correct equation is
- 4j² + 3j - 28 =0

ax² + bx + c,
a = -4, b=3 c =- 28.
The discriminent D = b² - 4.a.cD = 3² - 4(-4)(-28)D = -439
If D ≥ 0 there are either 2 roots or one double if = 0)if D< 0, there are no real roots (but 2 imaginary roots)Since D < 0, then there is no real roots
The answer there is no real roots

From 1960 to 1980 , the consumer price index (cpi) increased from 29.6 to 82.4. If a frozen chicken pie cost $0.28 in 1960 and t

mojhsa [17]

CPI in 1960 = 29.6

CPI in 1980 = 82.4

Growth (%) in CPI = $\frac{\text{CPI in 1980 - CPI in 1960}}{\text{CPI in 1960}}$ × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = $\frac{82.4-29.6}{29.6}$ × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.3783.. %

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.4%

Now, we know that price of frozen chicken pie in 1960 = $0.28

Also, we know that over 1960 to 1980, frozen chicken pie price grew at the same rate as CPI

Hence, Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = Price of Chicken Pie in 1960 × (1 + Growth in CPI)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 × (1 + 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + (0.28 × 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.49952

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.50

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = $0.78

Hence, price of chicken pie in 1980 would be ~$0.78

Determine which of the lines are parallel and which of the lines are perpendicular. Select all of the statements that are true.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Lines a and b are parallel

Lines a and c are perpendicular

Lines d and c are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Part 1) Find the slope of Line a

we have the points

(-3,4) and (3,6)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{6-4}{3+3}$

$m=\frac{2}{6}$

simplify

$m_a=\frac{1}{3}$

Part 2) Find the slope of Line b

we have the points

(-10,-3) and (-8,3)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{3+3}{-8+10}$

$m=\frac{6}{2}$

$m_b=3$

Part 3) Find the slope of Line c

we have the points

(0,5) and (3,-4)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-4-5}{3-0}$

$m=\frac{-9}{3}$

$m_c=-3$

Part 4) Find the slope of Line d

we have the points

(4,-7) and (13,-4)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-4+7}{13-4}$

$m=\frac{3}{9}$

simplify

$m_d=\frac{1}{3}$

Part 5) Compare the slopes

Remember that

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular then their slopes are opposite reciprocal

we have

$m_a=\frac{1}{3}$

$m_b=3$

$m_c=-3$

$m_d=\frac{1}{3}$

therefore

Lines a and b are parallel (slopes are equal)

Lines a and c are perpendicular (slopes are opposite reciprocal)

Lines d and c are perpendicular (slopes are opposite reciprocal)
