Consider this quadratic equation.

x2 + 2x + 7 = 21

The number of positive solutions to this equation is
.

The approximate value of the greatest solution to the equation, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 positive solution (and 1 negative)

the greatest solution is about 2.87

Step-by-step explanation:

so, it is

x² + 2x + 7 = 21

x² + 2x - 14 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 2

c = -14

x = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×1×-14))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 56))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(60))/2 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4×15))/2 = (-2 ± 2×sqrt(15))/2 =

= -1 ± sqrt(15)

x1 = -1 + sqrt(15) = 2.872983346... ≈ 2.87

x2 = -1 - sqrt(15) = -4.872983346...

Suppose $ 1,250 is placed in a savings account over 2 years. Find the interest earned if the rate is 4.5%

Answers

Answer: $112.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple interest will be calculated using:

= Principal × Rate × Time

= 1250 × 4.5% × 2

= 1250 × 0.045 × 2

= $112.50

Therefore, the interest earned will be $112.50

Answer:

2[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 9x - 5 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

// Use the Vijet's theorem,

// note that the kofficient before [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 1

Sum of the roots is:

1/2 + (-5) = - 4,5

Product of the roots is:

0,5 * (-5) = - 2,5

Formation of quadratic equation:  

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots  =  0

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - (-4,5) * x + (-2,5) = 0

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 4,5x -2,5 = 0

// multiply both sides by 2

2[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 9x - 5 = 0

If a rectangle measures 21 centimeters by 28 centimeters what is the length in centimeters of the diagonal of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

35cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 21cm

Width= 28cm

Diagonal= ???

Applying Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

D^2= 21^2+28^2

D^2= 441+784

D^2= 1225

D= √1225

D= 35cm

Hence the diagonal is 35cm

equation to find the cost of each pen.

Answers

so sam bought SIX pens for a TOTAL of $28.50. we have to figure out how much money each of the six pens cost.

steps:

1. divide the total by the amount of items purchased:

28.50 / 6 = 4.75

and there’s your answer! each pen cost $4.75

steps to check your work:

1. multiply the single cost by the amount of items purchased:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 liters of pain will cost Rs.225

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is a process of adding a number repetitively. Mathematically, we can write -

m = a x b

Given is that the 5 liters of paint costs Rs. 75.

5 liters of paint costs Rs. 75.

1 liter of paint will cost Rs. (75/5)

15 liters of pain will cost Rs. (75/5 x 15) = 75 x 3 = Rs. 225

Therefore, 15 liters of pain will cost Rs.225

Determine the intercepts of the line:

y = -9x - 14​

Answers

Answer: (-14/9, -14) or (-1.5, -14)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -9x - 14

the coefficient without a variable in a slope-intercept equation is the y-intercept -- in this case, it is -14

to find the x intercept you use the equation given, set y to equal zero and Solve for x

- Your new equation should be: 0 = -9x - 14

Our new goal is to isolate the x

Start by doing the inverse of the coefficient, so add 14 to both sides

- Your new equation should be: 14 = -9x

Theres still a -9 attached to the x and the -9 is attached by multiplication -- so now you do the inverse function and divide both sides by -9

Your final answer: -14/9 = x or -1.5 with a repeating decimal
