Answer:
x = -4, 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.
__
A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.
__
When factored, the equation becomes ...
(2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)
__
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4
x = {-4, 5/2}
__
For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...
product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10
Only the first and last choices have this product.
sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2
Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So its
1/3 divided by 6/1
we get the reciprocal
1/3*1/6
so thats 1/18 for each sports team
Answer:
1) A line can be defined by two points that are connected by the given line.
We can see that the line r connects the points A and B, then we can call this line as:
AB (the notation usually uses a double arrow in top of the letters)
2) In the image we can see that lines r and s intersect at the point B, then another name for that intersection is: B.
3) 3 colinear points are 3 points that are connected by a single line, an example of this can be the points A, B and C.
4) A plane can be defined by a line and a point outside the line.
For example, we can choose the line AB and the point D, that does not belong to the line.
Then we can call the plane as ABD.
4 legged tables : x
3 legged stools : y
x + y = 20 y= 20 - x
4x + 3y = 68
Replace y by 20 - x so we only have one letter
4x + 3(20 - x) =68
4x + 60 - 3x =68
x + 60 = 68
x = 8
To find y replace x by 8
y = 20 - 8
y = 12
So you have 8 four legged chairs and 12 three legged stools.
Hope I helped!
