Why is the square root of (-5)^2 25 but the square root of -5^2 is -25? ‍

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>So, we call 5 the “square root” of 25 and write √25=5 because 52=25 . ... Since (−5)2 also equals 25 it is also a “square root” of 25 , but we write −√25=−5 because it is not the principal square root. Not all whole numbers have a whole number square root. For instance √2=1.414213562…</em></h2>

Move x
5y = - 15 - 3x
y = - 3 - 3/5x
y = - 3/5 - 3
-y = 3/5 + 3

A dog won a race at the local fair by running 3 and one fourth miles in exactly 2 hours. At this constant rate, how long does i

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$ hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent time taken by dog to run the 1 and three tenths -mile state fair race.

We have been given that a dog won a race at the local fair by running 3 and one fourth miles in exactly 2 hours.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

We will equate both speeds as:

$\frac{1\frac{3}{10}}{x}=\frac{3\frac{1}{4}}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{13}{10}}{x}=\frac{\frac{13}{4}}{2}$

$\frac{13}{10\cdot x}=\frac{13}{4\cdot 2}$

Cross multiply:

$13\cdot 10\cdot x=13\cdot 4\cdot 2$

$10\cdot x=4\cdot 2$

$\frac{10\cdot x}{10}=\frac{4\cdot 2}{10}$

Therefore, it will take $\frac{4}{5}$ hour to complete $1\frac{3}{10}$ mile state fair race.
