Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below?

Julli [10]

Answer:

B. and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set the polynomial equal to zero:

x² + 5x + 7 = 0

2. Plug the given values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(7) } }{2(1)}$

3. Solve the square root:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-28} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2(1)}$

4. Simplify the rest:

$x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2}$

5. Separate the solutions:

$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{-3} }{2} , x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{-3} }{2}$

Thus, options B and C are the answers.

hope this helps!

In 2003 Exxon Mobil received a contract from the government worth $756,733 while Aerospace received a contract from the governme

lutik1710 [3]

The combined total of their contracts is $1,296,250

<h3>How to determine the combined total?</h3>

The values of the contracts are given as:

Exxon Mobil= $756,733
Aerospace = $539,517

The combined total is represented as:

Total = Exxon Mobil + Aerospace

Substitute known values

Total = $756,733 + $539,517

Evaluate the sum

Total = $1,296,250

Hence, the combined total of their contracts is $1,296,250

Keith’s dog weighs 90 pounds and a healthy dog’s weight is less than 75 pounds. If Keith’s dog looses 1.25 pounds per week, how

vivado [14]

Answer:

12 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keiths dog will need to lose 15 pounds to get down to 75 pounds. If he loses 1.25 pounds per week, it will take 12 weeks to get down to 75 pounds. To figure this out, you would use the equation:

90 - 75 = 15

15 / 1.25 = 12

That is how you would get 12 weeks.
