Answer:

$1.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total cost by the number of things you have to get the unit cost. Unit cost is the amount per item

$8.89/7 items = $1.27 per 1 pound of chocolate

Explain why a quadratic equation with a positive discriminant has two real solutions, a quadratic equation with a negative discr

Bad White [126]

Answer:

A quadratic equation can be written as:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.

where a, b and c are real numbers.

The solutions of this equation can be found by the equation:

$x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}$

Where the determinant is D = b^2 - 4*a*c.

Now, if D>0

we have the square root of a positive number, which will be equal to a real number.

√D = R

then the solutions are:

$x = \frac{-b +- R }{2*a}$

Where each sign of R is a different solution for the equation.

If D< 0, we have the square root of a negative number, then we have a complex component:

√D = i*R

$x = \frac{-b +- C*i }{2*a}$

We have two complex solutions.

If D = 0

√0 = 0

then:

$x = \frac{-b +- 0}{2*a} = \frac{-b}{2a}$

We have only one real solution (or two equal solutions, depending on how you see it)

What is the value of y if 13/9 = y/18

Maslowich

Answer:

$y=26$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Swap sides

$\frac{13}{9}=\frac{y}{18}$

Swap sides:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{13}{9}$

2. Isolate the y

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{13}{9}$

Multiply to both sides by 18:

$\frac{y}{18}\cdot 18=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Group like terms:

$\frac{1}{18}\cdot 18y=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Simplify the fraction:

$y=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Multiply the fractions:

$y=\frac{13\cdot 18}{9}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$y=26$

Why learn this:

Linear equations cannot tell you the future, but they can give you a good idea of what to expect so you can plan ahead. How long will it take you to fill your swimming pool? How much money will you earn during summer break? What are the quantities you need for your favorite recipe to make enough for all your friends?
Linear equations explain some of the relationships between what we know and what we want to know and can help us solve a wide range of problems we might encounter in our everyday lives.

Linear equations with one unknown

The main application of linear equations is solving problems in which an unknown variable, usually (but not always) x, is dependent on a known constant.

We solve linear equations by isolating the unknown variable on one side of the equation and simplifying the rest of the equation. When simplifying, anything that is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other.

An equation of:

$ax+b=0$

in which $a$ and $b$ are the constants and $x$ is the unknown variable, is a typical linear equation with one unknown. To solve for $x$ in this example, we would first isolate it by subtracting $b$ from both sides of the equation. We would then divide both sides of the equation by $a$ resulting in an answer of:
