Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: -b ± √(b² - 4ac)

Let's solve for x using the quadratic formula x = ------------------------

In this case the coefficients are 2, -7 and 9, so the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is (-7)^2 - 4(2)(9), or 49 - 72 = -23.

The roots (zeros) of this quadratic are thus:

-(-7) ± i√23

x = ----------------------

7 ±i√23

x = -------------------

If one side of a right triangle is 12 feet long and the hypotenuse of the triangle is 7, find the length of the other side of th

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

9.74 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for finding a hypotenuse is $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ . We can rearrange that to get: $c^2 - b^2 = a^2$ . So: 49 + b^2 = 144. We get the square root of 95, AKA around 9.74.

What was the total production of gasoline and kerosene combined (in Barrels)

Elina [12.6K]

The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced

Let

$x \to$ Proportion of kerosene

$y \to$ Proportion of Gasoline

So:

$x = 40\%$

$y = 34\%$

$Total = 60\ million$ ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

$Kerosene =x \times Total$

$Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million$

$Kerosene = 24\ million$

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

$Gasoline =y \times Total$

$Gasoline =34\% \times 60\ million$

$Gasoline =20.4\ million$

So, the total production of both is:

$Total = Kerosene + Gasolene$

$Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million$

$Total = 44.4 million$

Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced

A glass of skim milk supplies 0.1 mg of iron, 8.5 g of protein, and 1 g of carbohydrates. A quarter pound of lean red meat provi

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

glasses of milk=4

quatar pounds servings of meat =5

two slices of whole grains bread =8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m= milk

r=meat

b=bread

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (1) by 85 and (2) by 1

8.5m+289r+187b=2,975 (4)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (5)

Subtract (5) from (4)

267r+177b=2,751 (6)

Recall,

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 8.5

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (7)

8.5m+170r+102b=1700 (8)

Subtract (7) from (8)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Recall,

267r+177b=2,751 (6) and

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Multiply (6) by 148 and (9) by 267

26196b=407,148 (10)

24564b=394,092 (11)

Subtract (11) from (10)

1,632b=13,056

Divide both sides by 1,632

b=13,056/1,632

b=8

Substitute the value of b in (9)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

148r+92(8)=1,476

148r+736=1,476

148r=1,476-736

148r=740

Divide both sides by 148

r=740/148

r= 5

Substitute the value of b and r in (1)

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

0.1m+3.4(5)+2.2(8)=35

0.1m+17+17.6=35

0.1m+34.6=35

0.1m=35-34.6

0.1m=0.4

Divide both sides by 0.1

m=0.4/0.1

m=4

4 glasses of milk, 5 quatar pounds servings of meat and 8 two slices of whole grains bread will supply the required nutrients.
