Rewrite the equation by completing the square. 4 x^{2} +20x +25 =0

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(x+5/2)^2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x^{2} +20x +25 =0

Divide by 4

4/4 x^{2} +20/4x +25/4 =0

x^2 +5x +25/4 =0

Subtract 25/4 from each side

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

x^2 +5x =-25/4

Take the coefficent of x

5

Divide by 2

5/2

Square it

25/4

Add it to each side

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

(x+5/2)^2 = 0

Take the square root of each side

x+5/2 = 0

x = -5/2

It takes a new mail carrier 4 hours to deliver the mail on route a. It takes an experienced mail carrier 3 hours to do the same

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: $\frac{12}{7}\ \text{hours}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

New mail carrier takes 4 hours for delivery i.e.

New mail carrier completes $\frac{1}{4}$ part of work in 1 hour

Old mail carrier takes 3 hours for delivery i.e.

mail carrier completes $\frac{1}{3}$ part of work in 1 hour

If they work together, they complete the work in x hours i.e.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{3+4}{12}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{7}\ \text{hours}$
