We evaluate b^2 - 4ac. If the answer is positive, then there are two real solutions. If it is zero, there is one real solution. If it is negative, there are 2 complex solutions. In this equation, a = 1, b = 5, c = 7. Now we plug in the numbers.

$5^{2}-4*1*7=1$

Because this answer is positive, there are two real solutions.

You need to factor this out. When you do this, though ugly, there are two solutions.

Answer:

$x = -\frac{3}{2}$ or $x = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the zero product property, first step is to set the given equation, $2x^2 + x - 1 = 2$ , to zero. Then factorise the left side.

Thus,

$2x^2 + x - 1 = 2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$2x^2 + x - 1 - 2 = 2 - 2$

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

Factorise the left side

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

$x(2x + 3) - 1(2x + 3) = 0$

$(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0$

Find the solution

$x - 1 = 0$

$2x + 3 = 0$

$x = 1$

$2x + 3 = 0$

$2x = -3$

$x = -\frac{3}{2}$

The answer is: $x = 1$ or $x = -\frac{3}{2}$

Which expression is equivalent to 10a + 6?

victus00 [196]

There are a number of expressions that are equivalent to 10a+6.
To find them, you simply have to list the multiples of both 10 and 6.
10- 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
6- 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60.
Then, when you multiply the fraction by anything, whether this is 2, 3 or 10, you just have to do this to both parts.
All of the following expressions are equivalent to 10a+6
20a+12, 30a+18, 40a+24, 50a+30, 60a+36, 70a+42, 80a+48, 90a+54, 100a+60

Or, if you're looking to simplfy, then you have to find a common multiple, which is 2. Therefore, 2 goes outside of the bracket, and you then have to divide 10 by 2 to find out what goes inside the brack. 10a/2= 5a. 6/2=3, therefore, in a bracket, it becomes 2(5a+3)

Hope this helps :)

Find the area of a parallelogram whose base is 12cm and altitude is 8cm. Also find the other base of its corresponding altitude

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = base * height

= 12 * 8

= 96 cm²

Area of parallelogram = 96

base * height = 96

base = 96/height

base = 96/16

base = 6 cm

A poll asks shoppers at the mall how many cups of water they typically drink in a day. The results of the poll are listed below.

juin [17]

Answer:

D 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write data in increasing order.

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11

Find the median

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11

Median is 8

Lower half of the data is : 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8,

First quartile is the median of the lower half of the data=6+6 /2 =6

Upper half of the data is: 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11

The Third quartile is the median of the upper half=9+10 / 2 = 9.5

Find RS. A. 5 B. 10 C. 9 D. 12

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ + QR + RS = PS

2x-6 + 1 + x-4 = 18

Combine like terms

3x -9 = 18

Add 9 to each side

3x-9+9= 18-9

3x = 27

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9
