Answer:

The grapefruit is 20% heavier than the orange:)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of orange be x.

This means that the weight of grapefruit is:

1.08x

( Since grapefruit is: 8% heavier than orange )

Also, the weight of apple is 10% lighter than apple.

This means that the weight of apple is: 0.90 x

What are the roots of x in -10x2 + 12x − 9 = 0?

hoa [83]

Answer:

$x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

$x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

You can identify that, in this case:

$a=-10\\b=12\\c=-9$

Now you need to substitute these values into the formula:

$x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{12^2-4(-10)(-9)}}{2(-10)}$

$x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{-216}}{-20}$

Remember that:

$i=\sqrt{-1}$

Therefore,rewriting and simplifying, you get:

$x=\frac{-12\±6i\sqrt{6}}{-20}$

$x=\frac{-6(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{-2(10)}$

$x=\frac{3(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

Then, you get the following roots:

$x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}$

$x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}$
