Answer:

Yes. Her solution is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:

To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:

D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361

sqrt(D) = 19

x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2

x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6

We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

8 dollars and 30 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take .50 and multiply that by the 6 CDs you bought. It comes out to 3 dollars. Then, take 67.80 and divide that by 6 and you get 11 dollars and 30 cents, now take the total tax off, which is 3 dollars, and now, each CD is 8 dollars and 30 cents before tax.

Idk this thing help me out asap​

Answer:

A = P(1 + r/100)^n

A = 1000 x (1.08)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

n is the number of years, p is the principal, A is the amount.

The lamp is appreciating (increasing in value) so every year, its value is 1.08 times its value the year before.

Use the first equation to be more general, use the second equation if there isn't anything below asking you to input numbers into the equation.

Probably just use the first one.
