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.

A family buys a studio apartment for $180.00 They pay a down payment of $54.00, Their down payment is what percent of the purcha
Volgvan

Answer:

Part A: 30%

Part B: 45000%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get your answer, you have to divide whatever number the down payment is by the number the family is supposed to pay for the studio apartment.

Part A: You need to divide $54.00 by $180.00, when you do that, you get the answer 0.3. You convert it to percentage by doing 0.3 multiplied by 100 which give you 30. Put a percent behind it and you have 30% as your final answer.

Part B: You need to divide 81,000 by 180 which gives you 450. Then you then have to do 450 multiplied by 100 which gives you 45,000. You then add the percentage behind and you have 45000% as your final answer.
