1) The solution for m² - 5m - 14 = 0 are x=7 and x=-2.
2)The solution for b² - 4b + 4 = 0 is x=2.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The general form of quadratic equation is ax²+bx+c = 0
where
- a is the coefficient of x².
- b is the coefficient of x.
- c is the constant term.
<u>To find the roots :</u>
- Sum of the roots = b
- Product of the roots = c
1) The given quadratic equation is m² - 5m - 14 = 0.
From the above equation, it can be determined that b = -5 and c = -14
The roots are -7 and 2.
- Sum of the roots = -7+2 = -5
- Product of the roots = -7
2 = -14
The solution is given by (x-7) (x+2) = 0.
Therefore, the solutions are x=7 and x= -2.
2) The given quadratic equation is b² - 4b + 4 = 0.
From the above equation, it can be determined that b = -4 and c = 4
The roots are -2 and -2.
- Sum of the roots = -2-2 = -4
- Product of the roots = -2-2 = 4
The solution is given by (x-2) (x-2) = 0.
Therefore, the solution is x=2.
0.22% shrinkage as a percent of sales.
To calculate shrinkage you subtract the physical inventory value from the book value.
245,000-237,000 = 800
The shrinkage was $800. To find the shrinkage as a percent of sales take the shrinkage value and divide it by the sales value to get shrinkage as a percentage of sales.
800 / 360,000 = 0.0022....
Multiply Decimal by 100 to get the percentage
100 * 0.0022.... = 0.22%
Another way to put 6/7 - 1/8 is 48/56- 7/56 since the LCM of 7 and 8 is 56 (if you don’t know what that is I can explain it) sorta like subtraction you subtract both numerators (48 and 7 or 48-7) which gives you 41 then you put the denominator (56) below that. So in other words it equals 41/56
Given:
First side(A): 2B - 7
Second side(B): B
Third side(C): B + 4
Plug in values:
A + B + C = 80
2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80
If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:
2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80
This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80
=4B - 3 = 80
= 4B = 80 + 3
B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.
Checking your work:
A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5
B: 20.75
C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75
34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.
Hope this helped.
