Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:
5x-2x^2+1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation. Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:
-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0. Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac: 25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33
Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.
-b ± √(discriminant)
Applying the quadratic formula x = --------------------------------
2a
we get:
-5 ± √33 -5 + √33
x = ----------------- = --------------------- and
2(-2) -4
-5 - √33
---------------
-4
Answer:
Brownies made the most money
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = cookies
b = brownies
We sold 51 items so c+b = 51
Cookies are .75 and brownies are 1.25
.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25
We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c = 51-b
Substituting into the second equation
.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25
Distribute
38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25
Combine like terms
38.25+.5b = 53.25
Subtract 38.25 from each side
38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25
.5b =15
Divide each side by .5
.5b/.5 = 15/.5
b = 30
Now find c
c =51-b
c = 51-30
c = 21
They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies
30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50
21 cookies *.75 = 15.75
Brownies made the most money
4x60=240

Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Decimal division is super easy, let me show you how.
First, let's remove the decimal from both numbers. We have <em>184 </em>and <em>340</em>. Now let's multiply those two numbers.
184*340 = 62560.
Now, we need to figure out how many decimal places are in the original decimals. 18.<u>4</u> has one decimal place, and 3.<u>4</u> has one decimal place. (We don't count zeros at the end of a decimal as a decimal place.)
Now that we've figured out that there was a total of two decimal places, there can only be two decimal places in the answer. Let's take the 62560 that we got, and put a decimal in it. Remember, only two decimal places.
If there's only two decimal places in 62560, it would look like this: 62.<u>56</u> (<em>Remember, zeros at the end of a decimal does not count as a decimal place!)</em>
There's your final answer. 62.56.
Hope this explanation helped you out. :)
