Answer:

Rewrite equation as:

x^2 + 2x +2 =0

a = 1 b = 2 c = 2

x = (-b +- sqr root (b^2 -4ac)) / 2a

x = (-2 +- sqr root (2^2 - 4*1*2) ) / 2

x = (-2 +- sqr root (4 - 8) ) / 2

x = (-2 + sqr root (-4) ) / 2

x = -1 +- i

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)

Anna71 [15]

Answer: $m=-1.714$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

$y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

$m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}$

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

$m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714$

Find the diagonal of a square whose sides are of the given measure. Given = 16"

Olegator [25]

we are given the measurement of the side of a square equal to 16 inches. The square when divided into two using a diagonal forms a 45-45-90 angle. This means this follows the Pythagorean theorem in which the diagonal is square root of 2 times the length of the sides of the square. In this case, the diagonal measures then 16sqrt2 inches

How do you determine whether you are finding a percent of increase or a percent of decrease between two values? Explain.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Increase:

It will have increase when y>x

so, percentage of increase is

$=\frac{y-x}{x}\times 100$

Decrease:

It will have decrease when x>y

so, percentage of decrease is

$=\frac{x-y}{x}\times 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume initial value as x

assume final value as y

Increase:

It will have increase when y>x

so, percentage of increase is

$=\frac{y-x}{x}\times 100$

For example:

Initial value is 40

So, x=40

Final value is 50

so, y=50

now, we can find percentage in increase

$=\frac{50-40}{40}\times 100$

$=25$

Decrease:

It will have decrease when x>y

so, percentage of decrease is

$=\frac{x-y}{x}\times 100$

For example:

Initial value is 50

So, x=50

Final value is 40

so, y=40

now, we can find percentage in decrease

$=\frac{50-40}{40}\times 100$

$=25$
