Step-by-step explanation:

to compare day 1 with day 2 :

100% = 8

1% = 100%/100

25% = 25×1% = 100% × 25/100 = 8 × 1/4 = 2

so, on day 2 he walks 8+2 = 10 laps.

on day 3 he walks then 10-1 = 9 laps.

so, now, to calculate the % decrease compared to day 2

100% = 10

1% = 100%/100 = 0.1

how many % is represented by this 1 lap he was walking less ?

1 / 1% = 1 / 0.1 = 10%

so he had a 10% decrease from day 2 to day 3.

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation x^2-5x+2=0

Nataly [62]

The roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the roots of the given equation

The given equation is

x² -5x +2 = 0

Using the formula method,

$x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

In the given equation,

a = 1, b = -5, c = 2

Putting the values into the formula,

$x =\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}$

$x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-8} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{17} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 + \sqrt{17} }{2}$ OR $x =\frac{5 - \sqrt{17} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 + 4.12}{2}$ OR $x =\frac{5 - 4.12}{2}$

$x =\frac{9.12}{2}$ OR $x =\frac{0.88}{2}$

x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

Hence, the roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

Please help!!! i cant figure it out

GenaCL600 [577]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Given;

f(x) = 17x + 9

h(x) = 4x

To find: f(x)-h(x)

f(x)-h(x)= 17x + 9 - 4x

= 13x + 9

Therefore, f(x)-h(x) = 13x + 9.
