Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3
Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, plot the point (2, -3) on the graph. Then, use the slope to pick another point. The slope is rise over run. For your slope, the line will go 3 places up and then 4 places to the right. Using a straight-edge, follow the points and you will get the graph of the line.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
17-9=8
8*2=16
Because had 8 but bought 9 more to where he then had 17 but if you take 8 times 2 then your answer is 16 and that's how many comic books he began with.
Hope this helps
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
2:3 x 9
18:27
18 + 27 = 45
