To find the zeros of a quadratic fiunction given the equation you can use the next quadratic formula after equal the function to 0:
![\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \\ x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc%3D0%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
For the given function:

Answer: Third option
<h3>
Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
Answer:
x=-17
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 6 from each side and simplify and you'll get -17
To figure out how many miles the Daltons traveled the first day you times 2140 miles and 30 percent.
So 2140 x .30 = 642
They traveled 642 miles the first day.
To figure out how many miles they still have to travel you subtract your original miles (2140) from how many miles they have already traveled (642).
So 2140 - 642 = 1498
They have 1498 miles to still travel.
