If Jose has n books, Lynn has n+4 books

when Lynn gives Jose 6 books her total number of books changes by -6 so it becomes: n+4-6 = n-2

Jose gains 6 books so his total becomes: n+6

We can minus Jose's books from Lyn's books total to get the difference: (n+6)-(n-2) = n -n +6 --2 = 8

Therefore Jose has 8 more books than Lynn.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation <br> 25x^2-30x+25=0

Reika [66]

Answer: $x=\frac{3}{5}+i\frac{4}{5},\:x=\frac{3}{5}-i\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$25x^2-30x+25=0$

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-30\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-30\right)^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}}{2\cdot \:25}$

$\sqrt{\left(-30\right)^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}$

$=\sqrt{30^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}$

$=\sqrt{30^2-2500}$

$=i\sqrt{2500-30^2}$

$=40i$

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-30\right)\pm \:40i}{2\cdot \:25}$

$x_1=\frac{-\left(-30\right)+40i}{2\cdot \:25},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-30\right)-40i}{2\cdot \:25}$

$x=\frac{3}{5}+i\frac{4}{5},\:x=\frac{3}{5}-i\frac{4}{5}$

Yanka [14]

Answer:

88.02 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle with the horizontal, θ =25°

Initial velocity, v = 60 mph

1 mph = 1.467 ft/s

60 mph = 60 × 1.467 ft/s = 88.02 ft/s

Vertical component, v sin θ = 88.02 sin 25° = 37.2 ft/s

Horizontal component, v cos θ = 88.02 cos 25°= 79.8 ft/s
