Step-by-step explanation:
A pint has 2 cups
2 cups = 1 pint
1 cup = 1/2 pint
1/4 cup = 1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8 pint

Answer:
-15/16
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of a geometric series with first term a1 is ...
S = a1/(1 -r)
Then the common ratio (r) is ...
r = 1 -a1/S
For the given values, the ratio is ...
r = 1 - 124/64 = -15/16
The common ratio is -15/16.
There was a time that a friend of mine got to a decision because the leader of the group said so (it was a group project). Although it was clear that he did not want to comply to the decision, he made it because it was what the leader said so.
Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is
5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x
Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is
0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.
The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C. Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!
