2x^2-7x-4=0

2x^2-8x+x-4=0

2x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(2x+1)(x-4)=0

x=-1/2, 4

Hi again

2x² - 7x - 4 = 0
Again, all you have to do is factor left side
(2x + 1)(x - 4) = 0
Set factors equal to 0
2x + 1 = 0 or x - 4 = 0
2x = 0 - 1 or x = 0 + 4
2x = - 1 0r x = 4
x = -1/2 or x = 4

Answer : (-1/2, 4)

Please help!!!<br> Which expression is equivalent to (3m^-1n^2)^4/(2m^-2n)^3

Elza [17]

$\text{Use:}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^nb^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\\dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}$

$\dfrac{(3m^{-1}n^2)^4}{(2m^{-2}n)^3}=\dfrac{3^4(m^{-1})^4(n^2)^4}{2^3(m^{-2})^3n^3}=\dfrac{81m^{-4}n^8}{8m^{-6}n^3}\\\\=10.125m^{-4-(-6)}n^{8-3}=10.125m^2n^5$

What is the greatest number of obtuse angles a triangle can contain?

NikAS [45]

I think 1 because if you had 2 you'll end up with a shape that is greater than 180 degrees. Keep in mind obtuse angles a over 90 degrees. hope that helped

Shtirlitz [24]

The jeep gets 22 miles per gallon...

he has 5 gallons in the tank already....
buys gas at 1.25 per gallon.....spends $ 22...so he buys 22 / 1.25 = 17.6 gallons
so he has a total of (5 + 17.6) = 22.6 gallons....at 22 miles per gallon =
22.6 * 22 = 497.2 miles <==
