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.

90 POINTS| PLEASE ANSWER ASAP|

For A:

You add the probabilities to get the answer to A: = .75, or 3/4

Note that the probability of ALL THREE of them hitting would be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/5.

For B:

2/3 and 3/4 is the probability of the other two people MISSING (the remainder of 1/3, 1/4)

1.0 = 100% chance to hit the target, so 1.0 x 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2

Mark's chance of hitting is 1/5, so do 1/2 x 1/5, = 1/10

She needs to earn at least 84 to buy the mp3 player

earnings=earningsperhour times numberofhoursworked

earnings per hour=12 dollars
number of hoursworked=h

therefor
earnings=12 ties h or12h

earnings is at least 84
earnings is greater than or equal to 84
earnings<u>></u>84
12h<u>></u>84

solve
12h<u>></u>84
divide both sides by 12
h<u>></u>7
she needs to work at least 7 hours

to graph, draw a line at x=0 and shade to the right, make the line solid
