rewrite the equation set = to 0.
x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0
The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.
x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2
x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2
The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.
Answer:
$7.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount he was making before the raise.
He had an increase of 3.1% of x added to x which resulted in a new salary of $8.00 per hour.
Mathematically:
x = $7.76
He was making $7.76 before the raise.
Answer: Length of other edges will be 7.5 inches, 8 inches, 9 inches, 10.5 inches, 12 inches.
Explanation:
Length of smallest cube = 6 inches
Ratio of similarity to the smallest cube is given as follows:
1) 1.25
So, length of other edge will be
2) 4:3
So, the length of other edge will be
3) 1.5
So, length of other edge will be
4) 7:4
So, length of other edge will be
5) 2
So, length of other edge will be
Answer:
14.0% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
One formula you can use for this is ...
percent change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%
= (65/57 -1) × 100%
≈ 0.1403 × 100%
≈ 14.0% . . . . . . the positive sign indicates an increase
