Answer:

<em>There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the variables:

L = number of ladies in the conference

G = number of gentlemen in the conference

We know 340 people participated in the conference, thus:

L + G = 340 [1]

We are also given the ratio of ladies and gentleman as 3:2, thus:

L/G = 3/2

Cross-multiplying:

2L = 3G [2]

From [1]:

L = 340 - G

Substituting in [2]:

2(340 - G) = 3G

Operating:

680 - 2G = 3G

5G = 680

G = 680/5 = 136

G = 136

L = 340 - 136 = 204

L = 204

There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference

For this case we must find the solution of the following quadratic equation:

$x ^ 2 + 5x + 7 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 5\\c = 7$

Then, the solution is given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

Substituting the values:

$x = \frac {-5 \pm \sqrt {5 ^ 2-4 (1) (7)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {-5 \pm \sqrt {25-28}} {2}\\x = \frac {-5 \pm \sqrt {-3}} {2}$

By definition we have: $i ^ 2 = -1$

$x = \frac {-5 \pm \sqrt {3i ^ 2}} {2}\\x = \frac {-5 \pm i \sqrt {3}} {2}$

Thus, we have two complex roots.

Answer:

The equation has no real roots.

Answer:

w = 5 , w = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

w^2 = 25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(w^2) = ± sqrt(25)

w = ±5

Need help fast don't understand both A and B show work please

Shkiper50 [21]

Problem A
Usually the number of bits in a byte is 8 or 16 or 32 and recently 64. You don't have to write a formula to restrict it to this number of bits. You are not asked to do so. The general formula is 2^n - 1 for the problem of Millie and her golden keys. Somehow the system can be made to choose the right number of bits. Apple IIe s for example, used 8 bits and there was a location that told the processor that fact.

2^n - 1 <<<<< Answer

Problem B
In this case n = 4
2^n - 1 = 2^4 - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Millie can collect 15 keys <<<<<< Answer
