Answer:

$7.85

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the cancelling of units.

cost = $3.14/1 lb * 2.5 lb

The pounds cancel out leaving dollars so you get cost = $3.14 * 2.5

so cost = $7.85.

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

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The sum of the roots is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

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

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

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

substitute

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

Verify

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
