Its a , i had it yesterday and i got everything right dont worry :))
Quadratic Formula: (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
2x^2 - 3x = 12
2x^2 - 3x - 12 = 0
a = 2
b = -3
c = -12
(--3 +/- sqrt( (-3)^2 - 4(2)(-12) )) / 2(2)
3 +/- sqrt( 9 + 96 ) / 4
3 +/- sqrt(105) / 4
Answers: ,
Hope this helps!
The answer to your equation is x=2.52
Answer:
You will break even on the car wash when you buy 13.5 gallons. As long as you buy that or more, it is cheaper to get the car wash.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we need to create equations for both situations. If we let x equal the amount of gallons purchased, we can model the first equation as:
f(x) = 3.35x
And the second equation as:
f(x) = 3.05x + 4.05
Then to find when they equal each other, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
3.35x = 3.05x + 4.05
0.30x = 4.05
x = 13.5
This means once you buy 13.5 gallons, the prices will be the same. Any amount over that and the car wash will be cheaper
