Answer:

The function's input = x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

y = -75 - 5x

Given that the output = y = 25

substituting the value y=25 and solve to find the input 'x'

25 = -75 - 5x

5x = -75-25

5x = -100

Divide bothe side by 5

x = -20

Thus, the function's input = x = -20

. Use the quadratic formula to solve each quadratic real equation. Round

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

A. No real solution

B. 5 and -1.5

C. 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} \end{array}$ , with a being the x² term, b being the x term, and c being the constant.

Let's solve for a.

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {5^2 - 4\cdot1\cdot11} }}{{2\cdot1}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {25 - 44} }}{{2}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 5 \pm \sqrt {-19} }}{{2}}} \end{array}$

We can't take the square root of a negative number, so A has no real solution.

Let's do B now.

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {7^2 - 4\cdot-2\cdot15} }}{{2\cdot-2}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 120} }}{{-4}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm \sqrt {169} }}{{-4}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 7 \pm 13 }}{{-4}}} \end{array}$

$\frac{7+13}{4} = 5\\\frac{7-13}{4}=-1.5$

So B has two solutions of 5 and -1.5.

Now to C!

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ -(-44) \pm \sqrt {-44^2 - 4\cdot4\cdot121} }}{{2\cdot4}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 44 \pm \sqrt {1936 - 1936} }}{{8}}} \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ 44 \pm 0}}{{8}}} \end{array}$

$\frac{44}{8} = 5.5$

So c has one solution: 5.5

Hope this helped (and I'm sorry I'm late!)
