Answer: The short piece is approximately 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since the 25 foot rope was cut into 2 pieces and the ratio is 5 to 12, that means the total amount would be 17. 25/17 rounded to the nearest tenths is 1.5. We then multiply 5 by 1.5 because 1.5 is the unit resulting in 7.5. This shows that the shorter piece is approximately 7.5 feet. Hope this helps

Solve for q. -5(3-q) +4=5q-11

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Perform the indicated multiplication first: -15 + 5q + 4 = 5q - 11

Note that 5q appears on both sides of this equation. Cancelling, we get :

-11 = -11. This is always true. Thus, -5(3-q) +4=5q-11 is true for all q.

Quadratic Formula is (-b ±√(b²-4ac))/2a

With that being said:

y=2x²-5x-1 is in the correct form of ax²+bx+c

Now just plug in:

5±√(25-4(2 x-1))

5± √25+8

(5±√33)/2(2)

Answer is D

100% Sure
