110% = 1.1

1 + 1.1 = 2.1

17.85 / 2.1 = 8.5

answer: original price was $8.50

Identify the zeros of the function f(x) = 2x^2 − 4x + 5 using the Quadratic Formula
Nostrana [21]

For this case we have that by definition, the roots, or also called zeros, of the quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0.

Then, we must find the roots of:

2x ^ 2-4x + 5 = 0

Where:

a = 2\\b = -4\\c = 5

We have to:x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}

Substituting we have:

x = \frac {- (- 4) \pm \sqrt {(- 4) ^ 2-4 (2) (5)}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {16-40}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {-24}} {4}

By definition we have to:

i ^ 2 = -1

So:

x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {24i ^ 2}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {24}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 6}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm 2i \sqrt {6}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Thus, we have two roots:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Answer:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Find the greatest common factor: 24y^8 + 6y^6
Marrrta [24]

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

<u>GCF = 6y^6</u>

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parenthesis divide each term by the GCF.)

6y^6(24y^8/6y^6 + 6y^6/6y^6)

Simplify each term in parenthesis

<u>6y^6(4y^2 + 1)</u>
