Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Solve Using the Quadratic Formula
4x^2 + 8x − 5 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
−b ± √b^2 − 4 (ac)
-------------------------
2a
Substitute the values a = 4, b = 8, and c = −5 into the quadratic formula and solve for x.
−8 ± √82 − 4 ⋅ (4 ⋅ −5)
-------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Simplify the numerator.
Raise 8 to the p ower of 2.
−8 ± √64 − 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ −5
x= ---------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −4 by 4.
−8 ± √64 − 16 ⋅ −5
x = -------------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Multiply −16 by −5.
−8 ± √64 + 80
x = -------------------
2 ⋅ 4
Add 64 and 80.
−8 ± √144
x = --------------
2 ⋅ 4
Rewrite 144 as 12^2.
−8 ± √122
x = ------------
2 ⋅ 4
Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
multiply 2 by 4
−8 ± 12
x= ------------
8
simplify
−2 ± 3
x= ---------
2
The final answer is the combination of both solutions.
x= 1/2, -5/2
Hope this helped!
2 and 3
negative numbers won't work, nor will 0
1 and 2 won't work because 1*8=2*4
2 and 3 is the answer
Answer:
Matha - Jim = 200 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Jim's distance</u></em>
J = sqrt(w^2 + L^2)
J = sqrt(300^2 + 400^2)
J = sqrt(900 + 1600)
J = sqrt(2500)
J = 500
<em><u>Martha's distance</u></em>
M = 300 + 400
M = 700 Feet
Answer
M - J = 700 - 500 = 200
Jim walks 200 feet less than Martha.
Since angle C is not 90 degrees, it's one of the acute angles
in the right triangle.
(The side adjacent to angle C ) divided by (hypotenuse)
is the cosine of angle C .
(adjacent) / (10 inches) = cos(40 degrees)
Multiply each side by (10 inches):
Adjacent side = (10 inches) x cos(40) =
(10 inches) x 0.766 =
7.66 inches (rounded)
