The time it takes you to drive to the ski resort and the speed you drive is an example of a function. The rest of the options don't have a very direct correlation :)
Answer:
x = 5 and x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
You're on the right track. It's the "discriminant" that tells you what you want to know here. Before starting, arrange the terms of your quadratic in descending orders of x: 5x^2 + 14x - 19 = 0 (Note that I assumed you meant 14x instead of just 14).
Then the coefficients of this quadratic are a = 5, b = 14 and c = -19.
You are referring to the "quadratic formula." It states this:
-b ± √(b²-4ac)
x = -----------------------
2a
So, we insert the a, b and c values as indicated above:
-14 ± √( 14² - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √(196 - 4[5][-19] ) -14 ± √576
x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------- = ----------------------
2(10) 20 20
This comes out to:
x = (-14 + 24) / 2 and x = (-14 - 24) / 2
or:
x = 5 and x = -19
Answer: 12500
Step-by-step explanation: 10000 x 5% = 500. 500 x 5 = 2500. 10000 + 2500 = 12500

Answer:
pkr 324
Step-by-step explanation:
Person A spent 2/3 of the total money spent, so ...
(2/3)(pkr 486) = pkr 324 . . . spent by person A
Answer:
Mr. Sanchez's class sold 28 fruit pies and Mr. Kelly's class sold 32 bottles of fruit juice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit pies sold and y be the number of bottles of fruit juice sold.
Together, the classes sold 60 items, so
x + y = 60
Mr. Sanchez’s class sold fruit pies for $1.55 each, so x fruit pies cost $1.55x.
Mr. Kelly’s class sold bottles of fruit juice for $1.40 each, so y bottles of fruit juice cost $1.40y.
Together, the classes earned $88.20 for their school, so
1.55x + 1.40y = 88.20.
You get the system of two equations:
From the first equation:
Substitute it into the second equation:
Mr. Sanchez's class sold 28 fruit pies and Mr. Kelly's class sold 32 bottles of fruit juice.
