Solving quadratic equations is one of the main topics of this unit. Some quadratic equations can be solved with only one method,

some can be solved with multiple methods, and some can’t be solved at all. Think about a task in your daily life that can be accomplished in a variety of ways. How do you decide the best course of action for accomplishing that task? How is this process like choosing a method for solving a quadratic equation that can be solved in multiple ways?

Hi there!

Many things we do in everyday life have a variety of ways we can go about accomplishing them, but we most often choose the most practical and efficient method.

Efficiency saves time and prevents over-complication, which may lead to errors.

We might need to identify the specifics of the task and its circumstances to be able to determine the most efficient method to do it.

Solving a quadratic equation, we also must think about the most efficient method that can lead us to the correct answer. And doing so, we must identify the circumstances of the equation; Can it be solved by factoring? Is it easy to factor? What form is this quadratic equation in?

For example, let's say we're given the equation (x-1)(x+2)=0. This is an equation in factored form. In these kinds of scenarios, we can <em>easily</em> solve by setting each term equal to 0 (the Zero Product Property). This is the <em>most efficient </em>method:

x-1=0 --> x=1

x+2=0 --> x=-2

I hope this helps!

Please answer! Will give brainliest. Have a good day:)
taurus [48]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Green: y = 1.75x + 4

The slope is 1.75 which is the rate per mile.

Green charges $1.75 per mile.

White:

For 3 miles: $10.50

For 5 miles: $13.50

Difference: $13.50 - $10. 50 = $3.00

The $3.00 difference is for 2 miles.

Rate per mile: $3.00/2 = $1.50

White charges $1.50 per mile

Answer: B.

Reduce a ratio 3/4in: 3/16 ft
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

4in : 1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with:

3/4 in = 3/16 ft

This means that the length of 3/4 inches is the same as the length of 3/16 feet.

To reduce this, we can start by dividing by 3 in both sides of the equation:

(3/4)/3 in = (3/16)/3 ft

1/4 in = 1/16 ft

Now we can multiply both sides by 16:

16/4 in = 16/16ft

4 in = 1ft

now we reduced the ratio to:

4in : 1ft

Helpppppppppppp please give me the answer
Romashka [77]

10/12 in simplest form is 5/6.

Equivalent ratios would be 15/18, 20/24, and 25/30.


The rest is easy, give it a try.
