Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ryzh [129]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is

x =   \frac{ - 9 -  \sqrt{41} }{10}  \:  \:   \: ,  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \frac{ - 9 +  \sqrt{41} }{10}  \\

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² + 9x + 2 = 0

Using the quadratic formula that's

x =  \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}  \\

From the question

a = 5 , b = 9 , c = 2

We have

x =   \frac{ - 9 \pm \sqrt{ {9}^{2} - 4(5)(2) } }{2(5)}  \\  =  \frac{ - 9 \pm \sqrt{81 -40 } }{10}  \\  =  \frac{ - 9 \pm \sqrt{41} }{10}   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the final answer as

x =   \frac{ - 9 -  \sqrt{41} }{10}  \:  \:   \: ,  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \frac{ - 9 +  \sqrt{41} }{10}  \\

Hope this helps you

A credit card company has found that 0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent. It has developed a computer program that correctly
Serjik [45]
Given:
0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent
99% correct identification whether a transaction is fraudulent or not.
Scanned 5,000,000 transactions.

5,000,000 x 0.1% = 5,000 fraudulent transactions.

For me, there are 5,000 fraudulent transactions. This is based on the 0.1% rather than the 99%. Because the problem clearly states that the 0.1% of ALL transaction is identified as fraudulent. The 99% of the computer program only deals with the correct identification of the transaction as either fraudulent or not. For me, it is not a clear measure of the true number of fraudulent transactions.

A shipping container will be used to transport several 120-kilogram crates across the
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

150.833... or 150 and 5/6 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation to solve this.

Let x represent the number of 120 kilogram crates that can be loaded into the chipping container.

120x (weight of the crates) + 5900 (weight already in the container) = 24000 (max weight in the container)

We'll start by subtracting 5900 from both sides to try to isolate x, the number of containers we still need to meet 24000 kilograms.

120x = 18100

Now we just have to isolate x by dividing by 120.

x = 150.83333333333333333333333333333

If you want to use a mixed fraction form for this solution since the 3's keep repeating, it would be 150 and 5/6 crates.

Hey yall, who wants a quick 20?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

1) 8x

2) 12x - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Both of them have a like term, so you can subtract them across

2) 10x + 2x = 12x, have a like term so you can add them across and 3y is the outlier so that stays alone.

Hope this helps!
