2x^2+9x=-7 Solve round to nearest tenth

Mathematics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]4 years ago

Answer:

  x = -3.5 or -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 7 and factor.

  2x^2 +9x +7 = 0

  (2x +7)(x +1) = 0

  x = -3.5   or   x = -1 . . . . . values that make the factors zero

<em>Comment on factoring</em>

Factoring ax^2 +bx +c = 0 requires you find factors of ac that have a sum of b. Here, you're looking for factors of 2·7 = 14 that have a sum of 9. If you're observant, you realize that 2+7=9, so 2 and 7 are the factors you want.

Now, you can write the factored form as ...

  (ax +p)(ax +q)/a = 0 . . . . where p and q are the factors of ac we just found

The divisor "a" is used to simplify one or both of the factors. Here, we have ...

  (2x +2)(2x +7)/2 = 0

  (x +1)(2x +7) = 0 . . . . . . we removed a factor of 2 from the first binomial

Which of the following represents the area of a rectangle whose length is 3x + 5 and whose width is x − 2? 3x2 − x − 10 3x2 − 10
never [62]
A = L * W
L = 3x + 5
W = x - 2

A = (3x + 5)(x - 2)
A = 3x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2)
A = 3x^2 - 6x + 5x - 10
A = 3x^2 - x - 10 <====

Homework kills guys, please help
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The correct answer is in bold below written in two different ways. I think that the two middle options of your problem were given by mistake. The correct answer is not in the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of yogurt = cost of toppings + cost of yogurt with 1 topping

cost of yogurt with 1 topping = $3.65

cost of yogurt = cost of toppings + 3.65

cost of 1 additional topping = $0.45 * 1

cost of 2 additional toppings = $0.45 * 2

cost of x additional toppings = $0.45 * x = 0.45x

Since 1 topping is included in the $3.65 charge, if you pay for x additional toppings, you will have x + 1 total number of toppings. That means you must pay for only x - 1 additional toppings to have a total of x toppings.

One topping is already included in the $3.65 charge, so you pay for only x - 1 additional toppings.

cost of x - 1 additional toppings = 0.45(x - 1)

cost of yogurt = 0.45(x - 1) + 3.65

y = 0.45(x - 1) + 3.65

y = 0.45x - 0.45 + 3.65

y = 0.45x + 3.2
