Answer:

No real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac ( for the equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0)

Here it is 4^2 - 4*1*8

= `6 - 32

= -16.

This is negative so there are no real roots.

Take the GCF (-8t) of the given expression.

You'll get -8t(2t-5).

Now, set each equal to zero and solve for x.

-8t = 0 2t-5=0

t=0 t = 5/2 (Or 2.5 seconds)

For all the dogs: you have 2.65+2.46+3.67+2.91 = 11.69%

Now, the probability of getting a chihuahua would be 3.44/11.69=0.2942= 24.92

Answer:

Slope is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're going from point (1,4) to point (-3,-2), then your answer slope = -3/2.

If you're going from -3, -2 to 1,4 then it's 3/2 because you are going up 3, over 2 each time.

$\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{3}{2}$
