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

Daniela invested a total of $50,000, some in a certificate of deposit (CD) and the remainder in bonds. The amount invested in bo
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The amount invested in bonds = 35,000

The amount invested in CD = 15,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount that Daniela invested is $50,000, this means if we call the amount invested in bonds b, and the amount invested in CD d, then we have:

b+d=50,000 this says the total amount Daniela invested is $50,000.

And since the amount invested in bonds b is $5,000 more than twice the amount Daniela put into the CD, we have:

b=5,000+2d.

Thus, we have two equations and two unknowns b and d:

(1). b+d=50,000

(2). b=5,000+2d,

and we solve this system by substituting b from the second equation into the first:

b+d=50,000\\5,000+2d+d=50,000\\3d=45,000\\\\\boxed{d=15,000}

or, the amount invested in CD is $15,000.

With the value of d in hand, we now solve for b from equation(2):

b=5,000+2d\\b=5000+2(15,000)\\\boxed{b=35,000}

or, the amount invested in bonds is $35,000.

The formula for finding the number of bacteria present is given by P=P0(10)t where P is the final population, P0 is the initial
frozen [14]

Answer:

5.45 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula =

P = P0(10)t

In this circumstance, P0 = 275, P = 15,000 and t = ?

Applying the values into the formula:

P = P0(10)t

15,000 = 275 × (10) × t

15,000 = 2750t

t = 15,000/2750

t = 5.45 hours

Sec={ }
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

A choice

Step-by-step explanation:

sec is defined as 1/cos.

cos is again defined as adjacent to hypotenuse.

We know that adjacent is x and hypotenuse is r.

Therefore:- cos is x/r

Now sec is 1/cos = 1/(x/r)

1 ÷ x/r is 1•r/x

Thus:-

sec is r/x
