(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
Time = Distance / Speed [ Already mentioned ]
Then, substitute the known values,
t = (9.6 × 10⁶) / (3 × 10⁸)
t = 3.2 × 10⁻² s
In short, Your Answer would be Option B
Hope this helps!
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"
Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"
Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48
This means:
2x + x = 48
3x = 48
X = 16.
Since
are in arithmetic progression,




and since
are in geometric progression,




Recall that


It follows that

so the left side is

Also recall that

so that the right side is

Solve for
.

Now, the numerator increases more slowly than the denominator, since


and for

4x60=240
3x80=240
5x48=240
Answer 240
