Answer: x = - 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation by completing the square.
4x2 + 28x + 49 = 0
Completing the square method :
Divide through by the Coefficient of x^2
x^2 + 7x + (49/4) = 0
a = 1, b = 7, c = 49/4
Move c to the right side of the equation
x^2 + 7x = - 49/4
Complete the square on the left hand side by squaring its half of the x term
(7/2)^2 = (49/4)
Add the output to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 7x + (49/4) = - (49/4) + (49/4)
(x + 7/2)^2 = 0
Square root of both sides
x + 7/2 = 0
x = - 7/2
x = - 3.5
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 7/8 rounds down to -4
4.63 rounds up to 5
-4 x 6 + 5
-24 + 5
-19
her answer (-19.14) also rounds to -19
So yes, it is reasonable and the correct response is C.
To get for the taxi accidents in 1998, we must note that x =
8. Therefore using the equation y=−143.3x2+1823.3x+6820 , we can
calculate for the number of taxi accidents.
y = -143.3 * (8)^2 + 1823.3 * 8 + 6820
y = 12,235.2
There were about 12,235 taxi accidents in 1998.
