If the ends span from the 0 to the 15 meter mark, then the length of the pipe is 15 meters. However, you should report it using the right amount of significant figures. It is mentioned in the problem that millimeter marks are calibrated between meters. Since millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, you should add three decimal places to the 15 meters. Hence, you should report it as 15.000 meters.
Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.
$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75
Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.
$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25
So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.
Check step:
If you add it all back together:
Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50
PART A:
The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0
The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c
From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8
Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164
The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots
PART B:
4x²-12x+5 = 0
We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12
The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0
2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0
x = 1/2 and x = 5/2
