Answer:

–60 ÷ 2 = –30

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the equation that shows the correct calculation to show his movement per minute

Using this formula

Speed rate = Distance / Time

Where,

Distance=-60 ft

Time =2 min

Let plug in the formula

Speed rate = -60 ft /2 min

Speed rate = -30

Based on the information given we were told that the climber rappel DOWN which is why the distance was negative.

Therefore the equation that shows the correct calculation to show his movement per minute is –60 ÷ 2 = –30

Alika [10]

Given:

The expression is $5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

To find:

The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

$5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$

Now,

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=9\times 2+6-4-1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+6-5$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=19$

There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.

$5+4*\left(2+6\right)-2*2-1=32\neq 19$

$5+4*2+\left(6-2\right)*2-1=20\neq 19$

$5+4*2+6-2*\left(2-1\right)=17\neq 19$

And many more possibilities.

Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is $(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

What is the sum of 20x^2-10x-30

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The sum of the roots is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

The sum of the roots is equal to

$-\frac{b} {a}$

in this problem we have

$20x^{2} -10x-30=0$

so

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$-\frac{(-10)} {20}=0.5$

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

Find the roots of the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$x=\frac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{-10^{2}-4(20)(-30)}} {2(20)}$

$x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2,500}} {40}$

$x=\frac{10\pm50} {40}$

$x=\frac{10+50} {40}=1.5$

$x=\frac{10-50} {40}=-1$

The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5

The sum of the roots are

$-1+1.5=0.5$ ----> is ok
