Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 +x-5=0 give your answers to two decimal places

Especially if we're to present the answers to 2 decimal places, we'd gues that the roots of this polynomial are not "nice."

My suggestion is that we use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then write the associated factors.

In 3x^2 +x-5=0, a=3, b=1 and c= -5. Thus, the roots are

-1 plus or minus √(1^2 - 4(3)(-5) )

x = --------------------------------------------------

2(3)

or:

-1 plus or minus √61 -1 plus or minus 7.81

x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------

6 6

Then one root is 6.81/6, or approx. 1.14, and the other is

-8.81/6, or approx. -1.47.

The solution set is then {-1.47, 1.14}.

15.12 is what percent of 12?
Llana [10]

Answer:

<h2>126%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}15.12&-&p\%\\\\12&-&100\%\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\12p=(15.12)(100)\\12p=1512\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\p=126

\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\p\%\ of\ 12\ is\ equal\ to\ 15.12:\\\\\dfrac{p}{100}\cdot12=15.12\\\\\dfrac{12p}{100}=15.12\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 100}\\\\12p=1512\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\p=126

Shinto is serving pizza. He serves 1/5 of the pizza to one friend and 5/12 to another friend. If he had 9/10 of a pizza to start
never [62]

Answer: 17/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Change all of the fractions to have a common denominator:

LCM of 10, 12, 15 is 60

You get 12/60, 25/60, and 54/60.

54/60 is what he had at the start, and so you can just subtract what he gave away

54/60-12/60=42/60

42/60-25/60=17/60

17 is a prime number so you cannot simplify the fraction

1. ) Consider the function f(x)=5−7x2,−5≤x≤1
Marat540 [252]
1.) The interval of the value of x is from -5 to 1, inclusive. Remember that what is asked is the absolute value, thus the sign does not matter even if you have to subtract x from 5. Thus, the maximum value would be obtained if the x is smaller, which is 1. The minimum value is obtained when x=-5.

Absolute maximum value: x = - 5
f(-5) = ║5 - 7(-5)^2║ = ║-170║=170


Absolute minimum value: x = 1
f(1) = ║5 - 7(1)^2║ = ║-2║= 2

2.) The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) applies to functions that are continuous and differentiable on the closed and open interval of a to b, respectively. Since the function is a quadratic function, MVT can be applied. Then, this means that there is a value of c which is between a and b. This could be determined using this formula according to MVT:

f'(c)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

The differentiated form would be f'(x) = -2x. Then,

-2c =  \frac{(4- 0^{2} )-(4- (-1)^{2}) }{0--1}=1

c=- \frac{1}{2}

Thus, x = -1, x = -1/2, and x=0 all lie in the function 4-x^2.
