Answer: x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
What do you need help with?
1 Dog weighs 50lbs because in the stem and leaf plot it says there is a 50lbs dog and a 55lbs dog.
the solutions to a general quadratic equation is
X=-b±√b²-4ac/2a ,, When ax²+bx+c=0
the discriminant is the expression under the radical b²−4ac
Part A:
discriminant is (-16)² - 4(9)(60) = -1904
there are two complex solutions
Part B:
4x² + 8x − 5 = 0
4x² + 10x -2x - 5=0
2x ( 2x + 5) - 1(2 x + 5) =0
(2x + 5)(2x-1) = 0
/ \
/ \
2x+5 = 0 2x-1 =0
x = -5/2 x = 1/2
