Incomplete question. However, here is a similar question attached.
Solve 3x^2 + 17x - 6 = 0.
Based on the work shown to the left, which of these values are possible solutions of the equation? Check all of the boxes that apply
A X=-6
B X=6
C X=-1/3
D X=1/3
E X=0
Answer:
A and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that such question requires using completing the square method of solving equations. By using the values X= -6 and X= 1/3 we arrive at a solution.
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
ANSWER:
[a] A linear regression line has an equation of the form Y = a + bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable. The slope of the line is b, and a is the intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
[b] In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as “y = mx + b”), the slope is the number “m” that is multiplied on the x, and “b” is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the “Slope-intercepts form”.
NOTE: See picture attached.
add them both then you get the awnser if the four is not a negative. if the four is a negative use division.
