Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate answer 4 immediately, because (4)(3) is not 7.
Look at answer 2: 7x + 3x = 10x, which does not match the middle term 12x in the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 2.
Look at answer 1: 1x + 21x = 22x, which does not match the middle term of the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 1.
All quadratics have solutions. Let's apply the quadratic formula to 3x^2 + 12x + 7: Here a = 3, b = 12 and c = 7, so that the discriminant b²-4ac is
12²-4(3)(7), or 144 - 84, or 60. Being positive, this tells us that the given poly has two real, unequal roots:
-12 ± √60 -12 + 2√15 -12 - 2√15
x = ----------------- = ------------------- and x = --------------------
3 3 3
Normally, if c is a root, then x - c is a factor.
If we try this here, however, the resulting factors do not at all match any of your answer choices.
Don't be offended...but please ensure you have copied this problem down correctly.
This depends on a lot of factors. A persons weight, height, etc. It also depends on how many calories they want to burn or if they are just looking to run for fun. A lot of different factors play into a persons time to jog.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
(8:100) * 75
(8*75) : 100
600:100 = 6
100% - 14% = 86%
86% of what gives you 559
559 * 100 = 55,900/86 = 650
650 students in total
650 - 559 = 91
Solution: 91 students failed
