-42 decreased by 16 = -26
The solutions would be +0.37 and -0.37.
When completing the square, we take 1/2 of the value of b (in this case 5). 5/2=2.5. We then square this number: 2.5²=6.25. We add this value to both sides of the equation:
x²+5x+6.25 = 2+6.25
(x+2.5)² = 8.25
Take the square root of both sides:
√(x+2.5)² = √8.25
x + 2.5 = 2.87
Subtract 2.5 from both sides:"
x+2.5-2.5 = 2.87-2.5
x = 0.37
We have to take the positive and negative values for solutions, however, since a square root has both positive and negative answers.
Answer:
(22): tt
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiple times the segment
In an arithmetic series, the value of the nth term is calculated using the equation,
an = ao + (n - 1)(d)
where an and ao are the nth and the 1st term, respectively. d is the common difference, and n is the number of terms.
In the given, an = 48, a0 = 93, d = -5 and n is unknown. Substituting the known values,
48 = 93 + (n - 1)(-5)
The value of n from the equation is 10. Thus, the answer is the last choice.
