6^(-.5) or 6^(-1/2) are both 1/36
Ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x^2 + x + 2 = 0
a = 1
b = 1
c = 2
b^2 - 4ac
1^2 - 4(1)(2)
= 1 - 8
= -7
The value of the discriminant is -7.
The mixture contains 61.5% of water.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Total parts = 4+ 2.5 = 6.5
Parts of water =4
parts of drink = 2.5
Percent of water in the mixture = 4 × 100/ 6.5
= 400/6.5
= 61.53%
It is rounded to the nearest tenth as 61.5%.
