Answer:

76

2 real solutions

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant: b² - 4ac

  • Positive - 2 solutions
  • Equal to 0 - 1 solution
  • Negative - No solutions/Imaginary

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

<em>Compare quadratic.</em>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0 ↔ ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -6, c = -10

<u>Step 3: Find Discriminant</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Discriminant]:                                                            (-6)² - 4(1)(-10)
  2. [Discriminant] Evaluate exponents:                                                                36 - 4(1)(-10)
  3. [Discriminant] Multiply:                                                                                    36 + 40
  4. [Discriminant] Add:                                                                                          76

This tells us that our quadratic has 2 real solutions.

If Q is the midpoint of PR, find the coordinates of R if P(11, -2) and Q(4,3)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

R = (- 3, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula , equate the coordinates to the corresponding coordinates of Q.

let R = (x, y ) , then

\frac{1}{2} (x + 11 ) = 4 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

x + 11 = 8 (subtract 11 from both sides )

x = - 3

\frac{1}{2} (- 2 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 2 + y = 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

y = 8

Thus

R = (- 3, 8 )

Write each fraction as a decimal. Then identify each decimal as terminating or repeating.
cluponka [151]
1/6 = 0.16
1/8 = 0.125
1/11 = 0.09
2/9 = 0.22
4/5 = 0.8
5/9 = 0.56
1/2 = 0.5
7/9 = 0.78
