Answer: About 3 hours and 5 minutes to paint the room together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally can paint 1/5 of the room in an hour and Steve can paint 1/8 of the room in an hour.

Room/Hour

1/5 ± 1/8 =8/40  

8/40+5/40=13/40

How long to paint the room?

13/40 x 1= 40/13

40÷13=3.0777

So the answer will be Sally and Steve can paint the room in about 3 hours and 5 minutes

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A) -2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using quadratic formula

x² + 4x + 7 = 0

The Almighty Formula

= -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

Where ax + bx² + c = 0

From the above question

a = 1, b = 4, c= 7

Hence,

-4 ± √4² - 4 × 1 × 7/2 × 1

-4 ± √16 - 28/2

=( -4 ± √-12)/2

Since

b² - 4ac < 0

We have two complex roots

Simplifying

( -4 ± √-12)/2

= -4/2 ± √-12/2

= -2 ± 2√3i/2

= -2 ± √3i

Therefore,

-2 - √3i , -2 + √3i

or

-2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Option A , is the correct answer

In rectangle DATE, the diagonals DT and AE intersect as S. If LaTeX: AE=40 A E = 40 and LaTeX: ST=x+5 S T = x + 5 , find the val
svetoff [14.1K]
For this case we have the following diagonals:
 AE = 40
 ST = x + 5
 The intersection of the diagonals occurs when:
 AE = ST
 Therefore, matching we have:
 40 = x + 5
 Clearing x we have:
 x = 40-5
 x = 35
 Answer:
 The value of x is:
 x = 35
