1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

${b}^{2} - 4ac = 0 \\ { ( - k - 2)}^{2} - 4(1)(4) = 0\\ {k}^{2} + 4k + 4 - 4 = 0 \\ {k}^{2} + 4k = 0 \\ k(k + 4) = 0 \\ \therefore \: k = 0 \: or \: k = - 4$

For the equation y = 3.5x and y= 25x + 40.50, x represent time in hours and y represents cost in dollars. Which equation is not

dem82 [27]

We are given equations y =3.5x and y=25x +40.50.

Where x represent time in hours and y represents cost in dollars.

We need to determine that which equation is not the equation of a proportional relationship?

In first equation we have slope 3.5 and y-intercept 0.

In second equation, we have slope 25 and y-intercept 40.50.

<em>In order to have a a proportional relationship, there should be y-intercept =0.</em>

<h3>Therefore, y= 25x + 40.50 is not the equation of a proportional relationship.</h3>

for a stem competition julienne constructed a model rocket the rocket can reach an average height of 545 ft. Find the difference

zhenek [66]

We have the following table:
545-534.2 = 10.8
545-556.4 = -11.4
545-554.0 = -9
545-535.3 = 9.7
write them as a positive and negative rational numbers
positive:
9.7 = 9 7/10
10.8 = 10 4/5
negative:
-11.4 = -11 2/5
-9 = -9
the differences from least to greatest
-11 2/5
-9
9 7/10
10 4/5
