Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of attires Clara has initially = x

lends half her collection of formal attires to her sister

Attires remaining after lending = Number of attires Clara has initially - attires she lent her sister

= x - 1/2x

= 1/2x

Clara then buys four more attires

= 1/2x + 4

If she has 12 attires now

12 = 1/2x + 4

12 - 4 = 1/2x

8 = 1/2x

x = 8 ÷ 1/2

= 8 × 2/1

= 16

x = 16

Number of attires Clara has initially = x = 16

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x
jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0

The roots are given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

If we have: x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96

We can rewrite it in the following way:

x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0

Where:

a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113

Where we have:

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}

By definition: \sqrt {-1} = i

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}

x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}

x = -7 \pm8i

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i

Answer:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i

ILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF FAST
nignag [31]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is basically which one increases more as time goes on. Now. to make it easier let me explain visual.

You have 50 apples at the start and every hour you get 200 more apples, sweet!

Now let's look at the chart.

The first one is 200x+100, this is wrong since this has a better start but you don't get as much apples.

Same goes for the B and C. The only one that would make sense is D since you're also adding 10 more apples for each one you increase.
