What is the solution set of x2 + 5x + 1 = 0?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\left\{-\dfrac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2};\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}\right\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+5x+1=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula:}\\\\\text{For}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{if}\ \Delta < 0,\ \text{then the equation has no real solution}\\\text{if}\ \Delta=0,\ \text{then the equation has one real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\text{if}\ \Delta>0,\ \text{then the equation has two real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\text{We have}\\\\a=1,\ b=5,\ c=1\\\\\Delta=5^2-4(1)(1)=25-4=21>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{21}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}$

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $32,960.

belka [17]

Answer:

$32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last years salary was $x

Therefore,

x + 3% of x = $32960

x + 0.03x = $32960

1.03x=$32960

x = 32960/1.03

x = $32,000

So, last year's salary was $32000.
