Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2},  -  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not so fun!

4x^{2}  + 8x - 5 = 0\\

Step 1:  Move the 5 to the right side

4x^{2} +8x = 5

Step 2:  Divide thru by 4

x^{2} + 2x  = \frac{5}{4}

Step 3:  Divide 2 (from 2x)  by 2 and square the result and add that to both sides of the equation.

2/2 = 1    1 squared = 1

x^{2}  + 2x + 1 = \frac{5}{4} +1 = \frac{9}{4}

Step 4:  Factor the left side

(x + 1)^{2}  = \frac{9}{4}

Step 5:   Take the square root of both sides

x + 1 = ±\sqrt{\frac{9}{4} } =  ± \frac{3}{2}

Step 6:   Move the 1 to the right side and add the results

x = -1 ± \frac{3}{2} = -1 +  \frac{3}{2}   or -1 -  \frac{3}{2}

              = \frac{1}{2}    or   -  \frac{5}{2}

And bingo, you have the solutions by completing the square.  Lot of fun, huh.

Which number is equal to 10 Superscript negative 3? –1,000 –30 0.001 0.003
Karolina [17]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is 10^{-3}

We need to determine the equivalent number.

<u>Equivalent expression:</u>

To determine the equivalent number, let us solve the expression 10^{-3}

Thus, let us apply the exponent rule a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}} , we get;

10^{-3}=\frac{1}{10^{3}}

Also, the term 10³ can be written as 10^{3}=1000

Thus, we get;

\frac{1}{1000}

Dividing, we get;

0.001

Hence, the equivalent number is 0.001

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.

William and his three friends went out for lunch. The bill was $34 and they left a 15% tip. They want to split the bill equally.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Each person will pay $9.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of bill = $34

Tip = 15%

Amount of tip = \frac{15}{100}*34

Amount of tip = 0.15 * 34

Amount of tip = $5.10

Amount after bill = 34 + 5.10 = $39.10

Number of people = William + three friends = 4

Per person share = \frac{39.10}{4}

Per person share = $9.775

Rounded to two decimal places

Per person share = $9.78

Hence,

Each person will pay $9.78

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct option is A) Confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

From the provided information we get the sample size is 1910​ professionals

The illustration showed that​ 26% of them said the biggest interview turnoff is that the applicant did not make an effort to learn about the job or the company. That's mean the point estimate is 26%

The margin of error was given as plus or minus 3±3 percentage points. The margin of error is the confidence interval which is plus or minus 3±3.

Now consider the provided option:

The correct option is A) Confidence level

Because from the above information we know the point estimate is 26% Sample size is 1910 and the confidence interval is 3±3.
