Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                              x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
                              x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..

Answer:

Corresponding angles theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding angles theorem states that corresponding angles are congruent.

Pretty much means that every other angle is congruent if two lines are parallel and a line traverses them.

If the area of a right triangle is 9/16 sq. ft. and the height is 3/4 ft, write an equation that relates the area to the base,b,
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Base = 1.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ × base × height

9/16 = ½ × base × 3/4

9/16 = 3/8 × base

base = 9/16 × 8/3

base = 3/2

base = 1½ ft
