Answer:

x = 2.5 or -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x

Firstly, we divide through by 4

= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0

Now, we move the two term to the right hand side

x^2 -7/4x = 2

Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;

That would be;

(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64

we now add this value to both sides of the equation

x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64

The right hand side can be rewritten as;

(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64

taking the square root of both sides

x-7/8 = √(177/64)

x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)

x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)

= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017

Which to the nearest tenth is

x = 2.5 or -0.8

svp [43]

Rosetta drove her car 80 miles in one hour. Assuming that you ate talking about miles per hour you decide 160÷2=80 therefore, she drove 80 miles per hour (80/mph)

Write an equation in standard form of a line that passes through (4, 2) and is parallel to y = - 3/4 * x - 5 .
Bingel [31]

Answer:

y=2x+y-int

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallet to the defined by the given equation the slope of the unknown line is m=2.

Use this value of slope to calculate the y intercept. 2  = ( 2 - y-int)/4 - 0)

THus, your equation is y = 2x + y-int
