Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n: n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8: -n = 5. Then n = -5

Pls answer this 5 and _____ are reciprocal numbers.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal just means flipped you can put any whole number over 1 if it helps to see that

5/1 = 5

Since reciprocal is asking you to flip 5/1 meaning numerator becomes denominator and vice versa you end up with 1/5 being the reciprocal of 5

Solve (algebraically by any method) 3x to the 2 power +8x - 4= 0

Ratling [72]

3 x^{2} + 8x +(-4) = 0
x = -b + √ b² - 4ac
 2a
x = -8 + √ 8² - 4(3)(-4)
 2(3)
x = -8 + √64 - 48 
 6
x = -8 + √16
 6
x = -8 + 4 x = -8 - 4
 6 6
x = -4 x = -12
 6 6
x = -2 x = -2
