Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is x² + (p - 5)x + 2q = 0.

By Vieta's Formula,

we have SOR = -b/a and POR = c/a.

=> (-3) + (6) = -(p - 5) and (-3)(6) = 2q.

=> 3 = 5 - p and -18 = 2q

Hence, p = 2 and q = -9.

Alternate Method:

We have (x + 3) and (x - 6) as factors of the quadratic equation x² + (p - 5)x + 2q = 0.

=> (x + 3)(x - 6) = x² - 3x - 18.

By Comparing Coefficients,

(p - 5) = -3 and 2q = 18.

Hence p = 2 and q = -9.

Jan is not correct. The opposite of any number will not always be a positive. This is because the opposite of a positive number is negative and the opposite of a negative number is positive.

Basically, opposite numbers are numbers that are the same distance to 0 on a number line. If we were to have a positive 1, the opposite of that number would be a -1, because that's equally distant from 0 on a number line.

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work. Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work. What is the relative chan

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work, therefore, the final value is 28.6. While Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work, therefore, the initial value is 29.7.

Since relative change means change with respect to some value. Thus, the relative value with respect to last year is,

Relative value = (29.7-28.6)/29.7 = 0.037 = 3.7%

Hence, the relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

The health club is raising money through a babysitting fundraiser. On Thursday, they charged $3 per hour plus an initial fee $40

xeze [42]

They need to babysit for 10 hours to have same money each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Thursday;

Charges = $3 per hour

Initial fee = $40

let x be the number of hours.

T(x) = 3x+40

On Friday;

Charges = $4 per hour

Initial fee = $30

F(x)= 4x+30

The cost will be same when;

T(x) = F(x)

$3x+40=4x+30\\40-30=4x-3x\\10=x\\x=10$

They need to babysit for 10 hours to have same money each day.
