The response is
<span>x greater than or equal to -9
</span>proof
8x - (5x + 4)>= -31, 3x- 4>= -31, 3x >= -27, <span>x>= -27/3= -9
so </span><span>x greater than or equal to -9</span>
Answer:
When we have a quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
There is something called the determinant, and this is:
D = b^2 - 4*a*c
If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.
In our case, we have
5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0
Then the determinant is:
D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c
And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:
D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c
4*5*c = 100
20*c = 100
c = 100/20 = 5
As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.
This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,
c > 5.
I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:
Price is reduced by 45%. Which means that the new price is 55% of the original.
Therefore, (55/100)*17 = $9.35 =new price
