Answer:

2 + 2 = 4 total earrings in the box.

If you put the earring back into the box before taking out the second, it would be 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4, 25%.

Answer:

1/6 or 16.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 4 earrings in the box: 2 pairs of earrings + 2 pairs of earrings.

If you return the first earring to the box before removing the second, the answer is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4, or 25%.

If you remove the first earring from the package, the response is 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6, or 16.7%.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x
Lynna [10]

ANSWER

1.39

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

0 = 2 {x}^{2}  + 3x - 8

This is the same as,

2 {x}^{2}  + 3x - 8 = 0

Comparing to

a {x}^{2}  + bx  + c = 0

We have

a=2, b=3,c=-8

Using the quadratic formula, the solution is given by:

x =  \frac{ - b \pm \:  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

We substitute the values to get,

x =  \frac{ - 3\pm \:  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  - 4(2)( - 8)} }{2(2)}

x =  \frac{ - 3\pm \:  \sqrt{ 73} }{4}

The positive root is

x =  \frac{ - 3 + \:  \sqrt{ 73} }{4} = 1.39

to the nearest hundredth.
