The ratio of Tv commercial mins to scheduled show time mins is 6 to 24 how many mins of commercial time will be seen during a 2

vodomira [7]

Well first set up the first ratio as 6/24. That is commercial mins over show time mins. Then to keep the units the same convert 2 hours into minutes which would be 120 minutes. Then set up your next ratio as x/120 since you’re trying to find the commercial minutes. Then cross multiply so that it’s 24x=720 and then x=30 and that’s the amount of commercial minutes for 2 hours.

Use the quadratic formula to solve x2 + 9x + 10 = 0.<br> What are the solutions to the equation?

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{41}}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The quadratic formula of}$

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$\text{If}\ b^2-4a0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\=========================================$

$\text{We have}\ x^2+9x+10=0\\\\a=1,\ b=9,\ c=10\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\b^2-4ac=9^2-4(1)(10)=81-40=41>0\qquad _{\text{two solutions}}\\\\\sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{41}\\\\x=\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{41}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{41}}{2}$
