Answer:

  • c = 3.09375

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard for of quadratic equation:</u>

  • ax² + bx + c = 0

<u>We have </u>

  • 2x² - 5x + c = 0

<u>Sum of the roots </u>

  • x₁ + x₂ = - b/a = -(-5)/2 = 2.5

<u>Product of the roots </u>

  • x₁x₂ = c/a = c / 2

<u>We have:</u>

  • x₁ - x₂ = 0.25

<u>The square of the above is:</u>

  • (x₁ - x₂)² = (x₁ + x₂)² - 4x₁x₂

<u>Substitute known values and solve for c:</u>

  • 0.25² = (2.5)² - 4(c/2)
  • 2c = 6.25 - 0.0625
  • 2c = 6.1875
  • c = 3.09375

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

(12x - 6)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x-1)/5 => (12x - 6)/5 because of the distributive property.

You cannot simplify farther after you reach (12x - 6)/5.

solong [7]

Answer:$1655.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky is 2,364.6 miles. The gas tank gets 25 miles per gallon on the highway. It means that total number of gallons required to cover the distance from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky would be

2364.6/25 = 472.92 gallons

If the gas cost $3.50 per gallon, it means that the total amount that it will cost to drive from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky would be

472.92 × 3.5 = $1655.22
