For you to make an equation a quadratic equation, you need everything to be on one side, so you add one to both sides. 

<span>2x^2 + 3x + 0=0 </span>

<span>a=2, b=3, c=0 </span>

<span>b^2-4ac (In the next step just plug in your variables) </span>

<span>3^2 - 4(2)(0) </span>

<span>9 - 8(0) </span>

<span>9 - 0 </span>

<span>Your answer=9</span>

Show that in a group of five people (where any two people are either friends or enemies), there are not necessarily three mutual
sveta [45]

Answer:

Lets call the people A,B,C,D and E. We need to find an example where there are not 3 mutual friends and not three mutual enemies.

Lets start by assuming that A has 2 friends, B and C, and 2 enemies, D and E.

Since we want A,B and C not to be mutually friends, then B and C neccesarily have to be enemies.

Now, since B and C are enemies, they cant be enemies at the same time with D, and they also cant be enemies at the same time with E. Therefore one of them has to be friends with D and one has to be friends with E.

Also, since D and E are enemies with A, they neccesarily need to be friends.

From the fact that D and E are friends, we coclude that they cant have a friend in common, as a consequence, B has to be friends with one of D and E and C has to be friend with the other. We can assume that B is friend with D and C is friend with E. If we use that, we have the following friendship configuration

---------------------

Friends of A: B, C

Enemies of A: D,E

-------------------------

Friends of B: A,D

Enemies of B: C, E

------------------------

Friends of C: A,E

Enemies of C: B,D

------------------------

Friends of D: B,E

Enemies of D: A,C

----------------------------

Friends of E: C,D

Enemies of E:  A,B

--------------------------

As you can check, there is not three mutual friends nor three mutual enemies.

slope(m)=-3/4
y intercept (c)=-5
Then,
equation in slope intercept form is
y=mx+c
or, y=(-3/4)×x+(-5)
or, y=-3/4×x-5

What is the measure of an angle if it is 260 degrees less than six times its own complement?
poizon [28]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90.

y = 90 - x

The angle is 260 degrees less than six times its complement.

y = 6x - 260

90 - x = 6x - 260

350 - x = 6x

350 = 7x

50 = x

This is the measure of the complement.

y = 90 - x

y = 90 - 50

y = 40

This is the measure of the first angle.
