Answer: 2/3 books on politics
Step-by-step explanation:
The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.
Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.
= Number of politics books / Number of history books
= 4 / 6
= 2/3 books on politics
<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>
There are different ways to solve a quadratic equation, the main ones that i'm thinking about right now are:
1) factor the equation as a product:
ex: x^2+ 4x + 3 =0
(x+3) (x+1) = 0
x=-3 and x=-1 are the solutions.
To find (x+p) and (x+q) you have to think that (p+q )have to be equal to the number that is multiplied by x, in my example it was 4 (3+1=4), (p times q) have to be equal to the last number of the quadratic equation, the one that is not multiplied by any x, that in my example is 3 (3 x 1= 3)
2) The other way to solve a quadratic function is by using a formula:
given: ax^2 +bx +c=0
x= (-b +/- <span>√(b^2 -</span> 4ac)) / 2a
ex: 3x^2 + 4x -2=0
x= (-4 +/- √16-4(3)(-2)) / 6= (-4 +/- √16+24)/6= (-4 +/- <span>√40) / 6
now there are 2 possibilities: x= (-4+</span><span>√40) /6
and
x= (-4 - </span><span>√40) / 6
I hope the examples were clear enough also if i did't get very nice numbers. Look closely to the sings + and -, they are very important</span>

30 minutes / 3 miles = 10 minutes for 1 mile
