Answer:
25/4 will have to be added to "complete the square"
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 18 = 0
x² - 5x = 18
Find the half of the coefficient of x and square it
(5/2)² = 25/4
Add 25/4 to both sides to complete the square
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18 + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18(4/4) + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 72/4 + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = (72+25)/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 97/4
(x - 5/2)² = 97/4
Find the square root of both sides
√(x - 5/2)² = ±√97/4
x - 5/2 = √97/2
x = √97/2 + 5/2 or x = -√97/2 + 5/2
x = 7.42443 or -2.42443
The first choice is correct
Answer:
33,750,000 pounds of animals were processed during 5 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the average animal weight is 1350 lbs and 5,000 beef are slaughtered in one day, the total amount for one day would be: (1350)(5000) = 6,750,000 lbs.
Now we need to multiply this number by five since we want to know the total of pounds of animals processed during 5 days.
6,750,000 (5) = 33,750,000 pounds of animals.
Answer:
41.667 to the nearest thousandth.
Step-by-step explanation:
z = kx/y where k is the constant of proportionality.
Inserting the given values:
66.666666666667 = k*20/6
20k = 6*66.666666666667
k = 6*66.666666666667 / 20
= 20
So the equation of variation is z = 20x /y
When x = 25 and y = 12:
z = 20*25/12
= 41.666666666667.
