Answer: Company A would be a better deal for number of minutes over 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes that you would use with either company A or company B.

Company A has a monthly charge of $10 plus 5¢ a minute for each minute of long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is

10 + 0.05x

Company B has a monthly charge of $8 plus 6¢ a minute for long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is 10 + 0.05x

8 + 0.06x

For Company A to be a better deal, it means that

10 + 0.05x < 8 + 0.06x

10 - 8 < 0.06x - 0.05x

2 < 0.01x

0.01x > 2

x > 2/0.01

x > 200

PLEASE HELP FOR A BRAINLIEST!!!! Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula. Wh
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula.

The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations. It is shown as   x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

A quadratic equation is generally shown in the form of ax^{2} +bx + c = 0

For example, if you saw the equation  7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

7 would be a, 3 would be b, and 20 would be c.

To solve the equation above, you would fill in the quadratic formula as such, x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(7)(20)}}{2(7)}

Then you could solve for x.

2. What part in the Quadratic Formula is the discriminant?

The discriminant is the equation under the square root on the quadratic formula, b^{2} - 4ac

It is tells us whether there are two solutions, one solutions, or no solutions.

3.  How do you know the number of solutions based on the value of the discriminant?

To know the number of solutions based off of the value of the discriminant, you need to plug in your values. Using the example quadratic equation, 7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

We will plug the values into the discriminant.

3^{2} - 4(7)(20) = -551

Now, if the discriminant is positive it has two real solutions. If the discriminant is zero the equation has no real-number solutions. And finally, if the discriminant is negative, the equation has one real solution. Because our discriminant is -551, the example equation has one real solution.

Hope this helps! (Please consider Brainliest)

What is the smallest solution to this equation?​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3} x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )

2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{36} ← note plus or minus

x = ± 6

solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6

The smallest solution is x = - 6

Directions - For the following problem, write a paragraph proof to justify each step you make. All work must be neat,
nlexa [21]

$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x

Solution:

Given PRQ is a triangle.

ST is a line parallel to RQ.

$PT = x, \ PQ = 3x,  \ SR=\frac{8}{3}x

TQ=PQ-PT

TQ=3x -x=2x

<u>Triangle proportionality theorem,</u>

<em>If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.</em>

$\frac{PS}{SR} =\frac{PT}{TQ}

$\frac{PS}{\frac{8}{3} x} =\frac{x}{2x}

Do cross multiplication, we get

$ PS \times 2x=x \times \frac{8}{3} x

Divide by 2x on both sides, we get

$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x
