Answer:

  C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation can be solved any of several ways. One that doesn't require much thought is using the quadratic formula.

For ax² +bx +c = 0, the solutions are ...

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In the given equation, a=2, b=11, c=5, so this becomes ...

  x=\dfrac{-11\pm\sqrt{11^2-4\cdot2\cdot5}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{-11\pm\sqrt{81}}{4}\\\\x=\dfrac{-11\pm9}{4}=\left\{-\dfrac{20}{4},-\dfrac{2}{4}\right\}=\{-5,-\frac{1}{2}\}

The solutions are ...

  C. x = -5

  D. x = -1/2

_____

My personal favorite is using a graphing calculator. The solutions are the x-intercepts of the expression on the left. That is, where its value is zero, as the equation says.

Answer:

  20°, 120°, 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the smallest angle. Then the largest is (100+s) and the third angle is (2s). The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, so we have ...

  s + (100+s) +(2s) = 180

  4s = 80 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 100

  s = 20 . . . the smallest angle

  100+s = 120 . . . the largest angle

  2s = 40 . . . the third angle

The angle measures are 20°, 120°, and 40°.

A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent​ year, the mean test score was 21.2 and the standard deviation was4.
myrzilka [38]

Scores that are greater than 31 are significantly high.

Scores that are less than 11.4 are significantly low.

The test scores between 11.4 and 31 are not significantly low or significantly high.

<h3>How to Identify significance values?</h3>

We are given;

Standard deviation; s = 4.9

From the complete question, we are told to consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to -2 or consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2.

Thus;

2s = 2 * 4.9 = 9.8

Scores that are greater than 21.2 + 9.8 = 31 are significantly high.

Scores that are less than 21.2 - 9.8 = 11.4 are significantly low.

Thus, the test scores between 11.4 and 31 are not significantly low or significantly high.
