When you would not need to use the quadratic formula

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: When the quadratic equation can be factored or solved by completing the square, you do not need to use the quadratic formula

Step-by-step explanation: In the form ax² + bx + c

Whenever a is 1 (implied, no coefficient of x²) and the constant, c, is a multiple of numbers whose sum or difference is equal to b, factoring is much quicker and easier than using the quadratic formula.

Even when there is a coefficient of x², there are procedures to find the factors and solve for x without resorting to the quadratic formula.

8/7 divided by 5/8.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

64/35

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just the top and bottom number switched.

So the reciprocal of 5/8 would be 8/5.

Now, you can multiply 8/7 by 8/5.

This gives you 64/35.

And that's it!

Five cupcakes and two cookies cost $19.75. Two cupcakes and four cookies cost $ 17.50.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a cupcake and cookie respectively.

Given that;

Five cupcakes and two cookies cost $19.75.

$5x+2y=19.75 ---------- 1$

Two cupcakes and four cookies cost $17.50.

$2x+4y=17.50 --------------2$

Let's solve the simultaneous equation by elimination;

Multiply equation 1 by 2;

$10x+4y=39.50-------3\\$

Subtract equation 2 from equation 3;

$10x-2x+4y-4y=39.50-8x=22$

$8x=22$

divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{22}{8} \\x=2.75$

Since we have the value of x, let substitute into equation 1 to get y;

$5x+2y=19.75\\5(2.75)+2y=19.75\\13.75+2y=19.75\\2y=19.75-13.75\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2} \\y=3.00$

therefore , the cost of cupcakes and cookies are;

$cupcakes= 2.75\\cookies= 3.00$

Y=10x+2 y=8x+2x+2 How many solutions

Luba_88 [7]

Simplify y=8x+2x+2: y=10x+2
Same as equation y=10x+2
Therefore it has infinitely many solutions
