Answer:

The answer is x= -1.9.

Use the 3 to multiply the number and the letter in the bracket... which is...

3x-24=-29.7.

3x=-29.7+24.

3x=-5.7.

x=-5.7/3.

x=-1.9.

Many bank accounts never go below zero. But some banks will allow a negative balance, at least for a short time, called an overd

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

the amount after 3 weeks is $37.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

His balance is -$48.82 i.e. overdraft

Now in order to get the positive balance, he plans to deposit the money of $28.55 per week

We need to find out the amount after 3 weeks

So,

= -$48.32 + $28.55 + $28.55 + $28.55

= $37.33

hence, the amount after 3 weeks is $37.33

1) Determine the discriminant of the 2nd degree equation below:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

$\LARGE{ \boxed{ \mathbb{ \color{purple}{SOLUTION:}}}}$

We have, Discriminant formula for finding roots:

$\large{ \boxed{ \rm{x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} }}}$

Here,

x is the root of the equation.
a is the coefficient of x^2
b is the coefficient of x
c is the constant term

1) Given,

3x^2 - 2x - 1

Finding the discriminant,

➝ D = b^2 - 4ac

➝ D = (-2)^2 - 4 × 3 × (-1)

➝ D = 4 - (-12)

➝ D = 4 + 12

➝ D = 16

2) Solving by using Bhaskar formula,

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5\pm \sqrt{( - 5) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6 }} {2 \times 1}}}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 24} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5 \pm 1}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = - 2 \: or - 3}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{ {2}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 1} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 4} }{2} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm 0}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = - 1 \: or \: - 1}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 - x - 20 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - ( - 1) \pm \sqrt{( - 1) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 20) } }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 80} }{2} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{1 \pm 9}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 5 \: or \: - 4}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - ( - 3) \pm \sqrt{( - 3) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 4) } }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 16} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{3 \pm 5}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 4 \: or \: - 1}}}$

How do you tell if a line is parallel perpendicular or neither?

cluponka [151]

You can tell that a line is parallel if the lines can go on forever without crossing or intersecting. A line is perpendicular when the lines intersect at a right angle. If the slopes are either equal or negative reciprocals, they cannot be parallel or perpendicular.

Hope this helps you!
