For the expression to be factor-able the Discriminant , has to be greater or equal to zero
ax^2 + cx + b = 0
c^2 - 4 ab >= 0
(-3)^2 - 4 * 1 * b >= 0
9 - 4b >= 0
9 >= 4b
b <= 9/4 (2.25)
Pick any value in that range for ex:
0 , 2, -3, -6
Answer: you square root it.
5r^2/5 = 80/5 =16
Sqr root of r^2=Sqr root of 16
r=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- first mechanic: $105/hour
- second mechanic: $55/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...
20r +5(160-r) = 2375
15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800
r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.
160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate
The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.
