Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------

Answer:
x>1.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 5 from each side to get 4x>14-8x
change the symbol from +8 to -8
4x> 14+ (-8x)
than add 8x to both sides
12x > 14
which would mean that x has to be greater than 1.16
x>1.16

Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Inverse variation means ...
y = k/x
For the given values, we can find k to be ...
k = xy = (5)(10) = 50
Then for x=2, we have ...
y = 50/x
y = 50/2
y = 25 . . . when x=2
