Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

1) The process of cellular respiration takes place in the mitrochondria.
2) The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Only plant cells and the cells of autotrophic protists and some bacteria undergo this process.
3) Phospholipids are lipids that consist of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group, which gives this molecule two nonpolar hydrophobic tails and a polar hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that are used to make up biological membranes.
4)While there are definitely many more than 4 important molecules, I'm assuming the ones you are looking for are carbohydrates, proteins, Nucleic acids, and lipids.
5)A molecule is made up of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds, whereas a compound is a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Both molecules and compounds are made up of atoms/elements, however, compounds MUST be made up of two different kinds of elements, while molecules could consist of the same kind.

Hope this helps! :)

A sprinkler system uses 800 gallons of water in 5 days. How many gallons will the system use in a week?
emmainna [20.7K]
Yes 1,120 gallons per week (7 days)
Just divide 800 by 5 and see that the sprinkler system uses 160 gallons a day. Multiply 160 by 7 for the amount used a week and you will find that the answer is 1,120 gallons of water.

Graph the data in the table. Which kind of function best models the data? Write an equation to model the data. quadratic; y = 2.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x               -2              -1                 0                    1                   2

y               10            2.5                0                  2.5                3.0

Ist difference,

d_1=y_2-y_1

    =2.5-10=-7.5

d_2=y_3-y_2

    =0-2.5

    = -2.5

d_3=y_4-y_3

    =2.5-0

    = 2.5

d_4=y_5-y_4

    =10.0-2.5

    = 7.5

2nd difference,

x_1=d_2-d_1

    =-2.5+7.5

    = 5

x_2=d_3-d_2

    =2.5+2.5

    = 5

x_3=d_4-d_3

    =7.5-2.5

    = 5

Since 2nd difference is common, given table represents a quadratic equation.

Let the equation is,

y = ax²+ bx + c

For a point (0, 0) passing through the quadratic equation,

0 = c

Therefore, quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx

Since ordered pair (-1, 2.5) passes through the graph of the function,

2.5 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

a - b = 2.5 ------(1)

For another point (1, 2.5)

2.5 = a(1)² + b(1)

a + b = 2.5 ------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

2a = 5

a = 2.5

and from equation (2)→ y = 0

Therefore, equation of the quadratic function given in the table is y = 2.5x²

Option (1) is the answer.
