Q) 96/(100% - 40%)

→ 96/ 60%

→ 96/ 0.6

→ 160 is the number.

5. Find the discriminant of 15x2 = 4x – 1 and describe
diamong [38]

Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation =  - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is 15x^{2}  = 4x -1

or, 15x^{2}  -  4x + 1   = 0

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation ax^{2}  +b x + c   = 0

D = b^{2}   -  4ac  = (-4)^{2}  -  4(15) (1)  = 16 - (60) = -44

Hence, the discriminant of the equation =  - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

So, here x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a}  = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

So, either x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x =  \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

or, x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2.  We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here:  r2.  Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

  20            20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9         r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9).  Thus, we have:

      20r2                    (r2 +  9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or  ------------------

 (r2 +  9)(r2)               (r2 +  9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2).  This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2.  Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.

Julie makes and sells shirts for children and adults. She sells the shirts for $20 per unit. Material for
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Julie need to sell at least 45 shirts to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  selling cost of each shirt = $ 20

Cost of each shirt = $6

The fixed cost per month = $420

Number of shirts she can make = 80

Hence, the <u>cost of making 80 shirts</u> =  80 x $6  = $480

So, her total capital investment of the month

= Cost of shirts made + Fixed cost = $420 + $480 = $900

Now, let us assume she sell k number of shirts.

⇒ $20 x k  = $900

or, k = 900 / 20 = 45

or, k = 45

Hence, Julie need to sell at least 45 shirts to break even.
