Add 10 and use the quadratic formula.
  5x^2 +11x -2 = 0
  x = (-11 ±√(11^2 -4(5)(-2)))/(2(5))
  x = (-11 ±√161)/10 ≈ {-2.368858, 0.168858}

_____
The quadratic formula tells you that for ax^{2}+bx+c=0 the solutions are
x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Add 10 to both sides so that the equation becomes 5x^2 + 11x - 2 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                     x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                     x = [ -11 ± √(11^2 - 4(5)(-2)) ] / ( 2(5) )
                     x = [ -11 ± √(121 - (-40) ) ] / ( 10 )
                     x = [ -11 ± √(161) ] / ( 10)
                     x = [ -11 ± sqrt(161) ] / ( 10 )
                     x = -11/10 ± sqrt(161)/10
The answers are -11/10 + sqrt(161)/10 and -11/10 - sqrt(161)/10.

Kofi and kweku are two brothers. Kofi is older than kweku. Given that kofi's age is (5x-4) years and kweku's age is (2x+1) years
diamong [38]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the details :

Kofi is older than kweku

kofi's age = (5x-4) years

kweku's age = (2x+1) years

a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku

Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku

(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)

5x - 4 = 2x + 1

5x - 2x = 1 + 4

3x = 5

3x - 5

B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku

Then,

(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10

5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10

5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4

3x = 15

x = 5

Kofi's age : 5x - 4

5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years

Kweku's age : (2x + 1)

2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years

A transformation that maps the vertex A( 3 , 4 ) to A’ ( -4 , 3 ) is
Katen [24]

Answer:

"A translation of 7 units to the left followed by a translation of 1 unit down".

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple transformations that map one point into another, here is one example that works particularly for translations, which are the simplest (and usually the most used) transformations.

Suppose that we have the point (a, b) which is transformed into (a', b')

Then we have a horizontal translation of (a' - a) units followed by a vertical translation of (b' - b) units.

(the order of the translations does not matter, is the same having first the vertical translation and then the horizontal one).

Here we have the point A (3, 4) transformed into (-4, 3)

Then we have a horizontal translation of ((-4) - 3) = -7 units followed by a vertical translation of (3 - 4) = -1 units.

Where a horizontal translation of -7 units is a translation of 7 units to the left, and a vertical translation of -1 unit is a translation of 1 unit down.

Then we can write this transformation as:

"A translation of 7 units to the left followed by a translation of 1 unit down".
