Answer:

The roots are;

x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5

where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;

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

Set the function to zero

0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1

So;

-5x^2 + 4x = 1

divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5

x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5

We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it

= -2/5^2 = 4/25

add it to both sides

x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25

(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25

(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25

Take the square root of both sides

x - 2/5 = √( -1/25

x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5

x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5

The number in parenthesis after f is the x coordinate. Basically, it says which y coordinate is tied with an x value. In choice a, it says that when x is 0 y is 3, etc.

So, you can look at the graph to see which answer choice has a point from the graph. Choice a says (0,3), and that does not match. Choice b says (5,-1) and that does match. So the answer is B.

• A rational number is such that when you multiply it by

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The number is -1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming they are fractions. So we have the equation:

5/2 x + 2/3 = -7/12

We multiply through by 12 to eliminate the fractions:

5/2 * 12 x + 2/3 * 12 = -7/12 * 12

30x + 8 = -7

30x = -15

x = -15/30

x = -1/2.

Pls help

Answer:

If you go to fill up your car, the amount of gasoline in your tank influences how much you pay. The amount is a volume calculation, regardless of whether you fill up with gallons or liters of gasoline or other fuels. On a lesser scale, when filling a gas can to transfer to another vehicle or utilize the gas to power another device, volume is used to calculate the amount needed.

Hope this helps!

Find the remainder for the quotient using either substitution or synthetic division.

zaharov [31]

(x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15 as there is no remaider.

<h3>What is a factor of a polynomial?</h3>

We know that if x = a is one of the roots of a given polynomial x - a = 0 is a factor of the given polynomial.

To confirm if x - a = 0 is a factor of a polynomial we replace f(x) with f(a) and if the remainder is zero then it is confirmed that x - a = 0 is a factor.

Given a polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.

If (x - 5) is it's factor then f(5) = 0.

∴ f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.

f(5) = 5³ - 5² - 17(5) - 15.

f(5) = 125 - 25 - 85 - 15.

f(5) = 0.

So, the remainder is zero hence (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.

Your jewelry business orders $1320 in supplies each month. In each month, you can usually sell an earring/ring set for about $55

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Given,

The jewelry business orders $ 1320 in supplies each month.

That is, the invested amount = $ 1320,

Also, the selling price of each earring/ring set = $ 55,

Part 1 : Let x be the number of set that have been sold each month to break even ( in which revenue and invested amount are equal )

So, Total revenue ( the cost of x sets) = 55x,

⇒ 55x = 1320

Divide both sides by 55,

We get,

x = 24

Hence, 24 sets are needed to sell each month to break even.

Part 2 : Let y be the number of sets in which the profit is $ 715,

Total revenue = 55x

Profit = Total revenue - invested amount

⇒ 55x - 1320 = 715,

⇒ 55x = 715 + 1320

⇒ 55x = 2035

⇒ x = 37

Hence, 37 sets are sold for the total profit of $715.

Part 3 :

Revenue in selling 7 sets = 55 × 7 = $ 385

Profit = $ 385 - $ 1320 = - $ 935

Hence, the profit is - $ 935 after selling 7 sets.
