The formula for the quadratic formula is x (c in this case) = (-b(+/-)√(b²-4ac))/2a
This is used for an equation in standard quadratic form: ax² + bx + c = 0
1.) Put it in the correct form, if not already in it.
Ex. c² + 6c + 8 = 0
2.) Identify each part of the equation:
a = 1 (the leading coefficient), b = 6 (the coefficient in front of the second variable), c = 8
3.) Plug in each variable answer
c = (-6(+/-)√(6²-4(1)(8))/2(1)
4.) Simplify
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-(4*8))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-32))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(4))/2
c = (-6(+/-)2)/2
*Here, the equation splits in two. It becomes:
c = (-6+2)/2 AND c = (-6-2)/2
*Simplify again:
c = -4/2 AND c = -8/2
c = -2 AND c = -4
The answers c = -2 and c = -4 would solve the given equation.
Hope this helps! :)

Alex leaves school to go home. He walks 11 meters North and then 10 meters West. How far is Alex from the school?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

~15 meters away

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2+b^2

c^2 = 10^2+11^2

c^2 = 100+121

c^2 = 221

c = $\sqrt{221}$

c = ~15

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour

irakobra [83]

Recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

$\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t$

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then. Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph? d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.
