The discriminante :
b^2-4ac
1^2 - 4 * -2 * -28 = 1 - 224 = -223
When the discriminant (b^2-4ac) is less than 0, the equation had no real solutions.
-223<0, so, 2x^2+x-28 = 0 has no real solutions.
Hope that helps :)
Let's call the store value as s and the wholesale price as w. A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50%(0.5 in decimals) and adding 25 cents, writing this as an equation, we have

If we invert the equation we're going to find the the wholesale price as a function of the store price.

Now, to find the wholesale price if the sales price is $1.99, we just need to evaluate s = 1.99 on the function we created.

The wholesale price is $1.16.
The answer is 17/k because there is no exact way to divide so 17/k is the quotient. :)
Answer:
<u><em>40</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 sides. Four sides have 8 squares, 4 * 2, and the other 2 sides have 4, 2 * 2. 8 * 4 = 32, 4 * 2 = 8, 32 + 8 = 40
