Answer:

1. How many times can 0.17 be multiplied to equal 0.50?

2. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's turn these decimals into fractions.

1/2 = 0.50

1/6 = 0.17

Now, we must ask ourselves: How many times can 0.17 be multiplied to equal 0.50?

0.50 = 3 when divided by the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the answer is 3.

Hope this helps! :D

A furniture store is having a sale on sofas and you're going to buy one. The advertisers know that buyers get to the store and t

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$290

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.

Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.

Thus;

P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5

P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5

Thus, expected value is;

E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250

E(x) = 90 + 200

E(x) = $290

Harry is trying to solve the equation 0 = 2x2 − x − 6 using the quadratic formula. He has made an error in one of the steps belo

bija089 [108]

<h3><u>Given</u> - </h3>

➙ a quadratic equation in which Harry lagged due to an error made by him, 2x² - x - 6= 0

<h3><u>To solve</u> - </h3>

➙ the given quadratic equation.

<h3><u>Concept applied</u> - </h3>

➙ We will apply the quadratic formula as given in the question. So, let's study about quadratic equation first because we are supposed to apply the formula in equation.

What is quadratic equation?

➙ A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0.

Now, what is quadratic formula?

➙The roots of a quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 are given by $\sf{\:\frac{-b \pm\: \sqrt {b ^ 2 - 4ac}}{2a}}$ provided b - 4ac ≥ 0.

<h3><u>Solution</u> - </h3>

here as per the given quadratic equation,

a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

putting in the formula,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-(-1) \pm\: \sqrt {(-1)^2 - 4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {1+48}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {49}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: 7}{4}}$

Solving one by one,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 + \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{8}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=2}}}$

________________

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 - \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-6}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=\frac{-3}{2}}}}$

<em><u>Note</u> - Hey dear user!! You haven't provided the solution which was solved by Harry (A.T.Q). Please go through the solution as it will help you to find the error done by Harry.</em>

Hope it helps!! (:
