X2+5x-2=0
a=1, b=5, c=-2

b2-4ac is the discriminant.
(5^2)-4(1)(-2)
25+8=33, so the discriminant is positive

This means there are two real rational roots, so the answer is the second option

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the equation.

2 =  {x}^{2}  + 5x

  • Arrange the expression into the standard form.

0 =  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 2 \\  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 2 = 0

  • Discriminant

From the standard form equation and from the given equation.

a {x}^{2}  + bx + c = 0 \\ a = 1 \:  \:  \: b = 5 \:  \:  \: c =  - 2

<u>Discriminant</u><u /><u> </u><u>Formula</u>

<u>D =  {b}^{2}  - 4ac</u>

Substitute the value of terms in the discriminant formula.

D =  {(5)}^{2}  - 4(1)(  - 2) \\ D = 25 - 4( - 2) \\ D = 25 + 8 \\ D = 33

<u>Discriminant</u><u> </u><u>Types</u>

D > 0 \:  \:  \:  \: 2 \:  \: real \:  \: roots \\ D = 0 \:  \:  \:  \: 1 \:  \: real \:  \: root \\ D < 0 \:  \:  \: imaginary \:  \: roots

We can rule out the Imaginary root and double root because the discriminant is greater than 0. Therefore, the only choices are either Irrational or Rational.

However, we cannot factor the expression by using two brackets or common factor. We can say that the equation has two real irrational roots.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>
  • real and irrational root

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 1 4 hours. How much does Rachel earn per hour?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 \frac{1}{4} hours.

i.e

Rachel earned $85.25 for working \frac{25}{4} hours.

Now calculate earning of Rachel for 1 hour .

Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{Total\ earning}{Total\ time}

Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25}{\frac{25}{4}}

Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25\times 4}{25}

Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{341}{25}

Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \$ 13.64

Therefore Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Helen purchased 3 copies of a book online at a 20% discount. She also paid $10 for shipping that was not discounted. How much wa
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The original price of the book was $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 0.2(3x) + 10 = 40
30x - 2(3x) + 100 = 400
   30x - 6x + 100 = 400
           24x + 100 = 400
                     24x = 300
                         x = 12.50
