\left(\mathrm{Decimal:\quad }x=-0.75\right)
hope it helps :P
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the standard quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0
Let's compare all the given equation to it and , find discriminant.
1. a=2, b= -7, c=-9
So it has 2 real number solutions.
2. a=1, b=-4, c=4

So it has only 1 real number solution.
3. a=4, b=-3, c=-1

So it has 2 real number solutions.
4. a=1, b=-2, c=-8
So it has 2 real number solutions.
5. a=3, b=5, c=3

Thus it does not has real solutions.
Answer:
6.25n + 3.50
$34.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Break down the important information given in the problem.
The one-time delivery fee is 3.50. This is only paid one time an never again, making it the <u>constant</u>, a number that does not change.
Each lunch costs 6.25. This amount will increase depending on how many times Mr. Jackson orders lunches, "n" times. This number is the <u>rate</u> because it changes. The rate is attached to the variable.
If you add the amounts together, that is the total cost of ordering lunches.
6.25n + 3.50
(Reember expressions do not have the equal sign).
To find the cost of ordering 5 lunches, use the expression. Substitute "n" for 5 because "n" represents the number of lunches ordered.
6.25n + 3.50
= 6.25(5) + 3.50 Simplify by multiplying 5 and 6.25
= 31.25 + 3.50 Add the two values
= 34.75 Total cost of 5 lunches
Therefore the cost of ordering 5 lunches is $34.75.
The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
So, I will give a general explanation to solve the question
A population function can be represented as:

Where:
- The initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas is represented by (a)
- The rate at which the population changes is represented by (r)
- The number of years since 2022 is represented by (x)
- The population in x years is represented by (y)
From the question, we understand that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases.
This means that the rate of the function would be an exponential decay i.e. 1 -r
Take for instance:

By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

The numbers are 5 and 2.
Reciprocals: 5- 5/10
2- 2/10
(2/10)+(5/10)= 7/10
5-2= 3
Answer: 5 and 2
