The answer is A for this problem
Answer:
Solve the equation for x by finding a, b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula.
Exact Form:
x = − 70 ± √4210/30
Decimal Form:
x = −0.03
Step-by-step explanation:
5x(6x+28)=−23
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
30x2+140x=−23
Step 2: Subtract -23 from both sides.
30x2+140x−(−23)=−23−(−23)
30x2+140x+23=0
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=30, b=140, c=23.
x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a
x=−(140)±√(140)2−4(30)(23)/2(30)
x=−140±√16840/60
x=−7/3+1/30√4210 or x=−7/3+−1/30√4210
Your answer is going to be C
Target: ratio of pizza places / person < 0.01
<span>The
population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 221 people per
block, but there are already 32 pizza places in the area.
population = 15*221 = 3,315
ratio: 32 pizza places / 3315 people = 0.0097 pizza places per person
Which indeed is less than 0.01 => this area is good for their purpose.
The population
of 22 blocks of the south area is 150 people per block, and there are
28 pizza places in the area.</span>
population: 22*150 = 3300
ratio: 28 pizza places / 3300 people = 0.00085 which is also less than 0.01
Both places meet the target of less than 0.01 places per person, but the south area seems better than north area.
