Answer:
x= -2-√11. or. x= -2 + √11
Step-by-step explanation:
solving quadratic equation by completing the square
x^2+4x-7=0
x^2+4x=7
x^2+4x + (4/2)^2=7 + (4/2)^2 ( adding (1/2 coefficient of x)^2 on both sides
x^2+4x + 4=7 + 4
x^2+4x + 4=11. factorize(x^2+4x + 4) into (x + 2)^2
(x + 2)^2=11
√(x + 2)^2= + - √11
x + 2 = + - √11
there are two different solution .
x + 2 = -√11. or x + 2 = + √11.
x= -2-√11. or. x= -2 + √11.
What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence?
24,−6,3/2,−3/8,...
Common ratio=-1/4
Answer: -23
Step-by-step explanation:
The change in y value can be determined by subtracting the first value from the second.
-19 - 4 = -23
Or if you think about it logically you are going from a positive number to a negative so the total distance will be greater than both of your values.
Answer:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
DeShawn and Mike each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store.
Let us represent:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x
Cost of 1 geraniums = y
DeShawn spent $13 on 1 rose bush and 4 geraniums.
x + 4y = 13..... Equation 1
x = 13 - 4y
Mike spent $56 on 10 rose bushes and 3 geraniums.
10x + 3y = 56....... Equation 2
We substitute 13 - 4y for x in Equation 2
10(13 - 4y) + 3y = 56
130 - 40y + 3y = 56
Collect like terms
- 40y + 3y = 56 - 130
-37y = -74
y = -74/37
y = $2
Solving for x
x = 13 - 4y
x = _13 - 4 × $2
x = $13 - $8
x = $5
Therefore,
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
