Answer:

x = 1 or -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x^2 - 3x + 5 = 0

multiply all through by -1

2x^2 + 3x - 5 = 0

....... 2x^2 × 5 = 10x^2 = +5x × -2x

(2x^2 + 5x)-(2x - 5) = 0

x(2x + 5) - 1(2x + 5) = 0

x - 1 = 0 or 2x + 5 = 0

x = 1 or 2x = - 5

x = 1 or -5/2

Let f(x) = x - 2 and g(x) = x2 - 7x - 9. Find f(g(-1))

Montano1993 [528]

$f(x)=x-2 \\
g(x)=x^2-7x-9 \\ \\
g(-1)=(-1)^2-7 \times (-1)-9 = 1+7-9=-1 \\
f(g(-1))=f(-1)=-1-2=-3 \\ \\
\boxed{f(g(-1))=-3}$

A roll of carpet that contains 250 yd of carpet will cover how many rooms if each room requires 7 3/4 yards of carpet?

iren [92.7K]

Answer: 32 room

Step-by-step explanation:

$7\frac{3}{4} =\frac{4(7)+3}{4} =\frac{28+3}{4} =\frac{31}{4}=7.75$

<u>If 1 room = 7.75 yd of carpet ⇒ x rooms = 250 yd of carpet</u>

Use proportions & cross-multiply to solve:

$\frac{1}{7.75} =\frac{x}{250}\\7.75x=250\\x=\frac{250}{7.75} =32.258$

So 250 yd of carpet can cover about 32 rooms.
