Answer:
5x^2 - 4x - 3 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
For the equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
the roots are [-b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a
So comparing the terms to the values in the question:
a = 5
b = -4
c = -3
Exponents can make the problem smaller and look less confusing. If you see a problem with 5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5 then you're going to eventually loose count and will have to keep repeating. But if you put 5 to the 8th power then you know right away just to multiply 5, (8) times,
Parallel = same slope
Find slope of 3x + 5y = 8
Turn into y = mx + b
5y = -3x + 8
Divide by 5
y = -3/5x + 8/5
Slope is -3/5
Y = -3/5x + b, find y intercept
Plug in the point
4 = -3/5(10) + b
4 = -6 + b, b = 10
Final equation: y = -3/5x + 10
Answer:
17,720 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
5.4 km * (1 mile)/(1.609 km) * (5280 ft)/(1 mile) = 17,720 ft
At around 20'000ft. and higher.
