Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
Answer:
25.5 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
12 22.5 X
Let X be the shortest distance we are trying to find.
a units 2 b units 2 c units 2
12 units 2 + (22.5)=c units 2
144+506.25=c units 2
650.25=c units 2
=c units 2
25.5
The number 2.85 can be writen using the fraction 285/100 which is equal to 57/20 when reduced to lowest terms.
It is also equal to 2 17/20 when writen as a mixed number.
You can use the following approximate value(s) for this number:57/20 =~ 2 6/7 (if you admit a error of 0.250627%)2.85 =~ 2 5/6 (if you admit a error of -0.584795%)2.85 =~ 3 (if you admit a error of 5.263158%)
The answer would be 28 feet, to get area you do length times width, 7 x 4 = 28
