Which are the solutions of x2 = –5x + 8? StartFraction negative 5 minus StartRoot 57 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction comma StartFract

serg [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

$x^2=-5x+8$

Rearrange the given equation in standard form $ax^2+bx +c =0$ , where, $a,\ b,\ and\ c$ are constants.

Therefore, we add $5x-8$ on both sides to get,

$x^2+5x-8=0$

Here, $a=1,b=5,c=-8$

The solution of the above equation is determined using the quadratic formula which is given as:

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

Plug in $a=1,b=5,c=-8$ and solve for $x$ .

$x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{25+32}}{2}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{57}}{2}\\\\\\\therefore x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Therefore, the solutions are:

$x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Caroline is planting flowers in her garden. She plants her first 7 flowers in 4 minutes. After 12 minutes, she has planted 21 di

olga55 [171]

Answer:

i say 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: in the first 4 minutes she planted 7 flowers, in the next 8 minutes she planted 21 flower. so what i did was divide 70 by 7... since the amount of flowers is going up by 7's. so 70 divided by 7 is 10... now every 4 minutes you plant flowers so 10 by 4= 40 minutes

PATS, PETE AND KOFFI ANNUAL SALARIES AGGREGATE TO 200,000.00 A YEAR PETE MAKES $11000.00 MORE THAN KOFFI AND PAT MAKES $1000.00

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Koffi's monthly salary: $3500 ($42000 annually)

Pete's monthly salary: $4416.7 ($53000 annually)

Pat's monthly salary: $8750 ($105000 annually)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Pat's annual salary

Let y represent Pete's annual salary

Let z represent Koffi's annual salary

According to the question, their annual salaries sum up to$200000 i.e. x + y + z= $200000

Pete makes $11000 more than Koffi anually means that y = $11000 + z

Pat makes $1000 less than twice (×2) of Pete's annual salary i.e. x = 2y - $1000

Hence, we have 3 equations:

(1)..... x + y + z= $200000

(2).... y = $11000 + z

(3).... x = 2y - $1000

First, we substitute y into equation (3) i.e.

x = 2(11000 + z) - 1000

x = 22000 + 2z - 1000

x = 21000 + 2z............ (4)

We then insert equations (4) and (2) into equation (1) to get z:

x + y + z = 200000

21000 + 2z + 11000 + z + z = 200000

4z + 32000 = 200000

4z = 200000 - 32000

4z = 168000

z = 42000

Hence, z (Koffi's) annual salary is $42000.

To get y, we substitute z in equation (2).

y = 11000 + z

y = 11000 + 42000

y = 53000

Hence, y (Pete's) annual salary is $53000

To get x, we add $42000 with $53000, and subtract from $200000 i.e. 42000 + 53000 = 95000

200000 - 95000 = 105000

Hence, x (Pat's) annual salary is $105000.

In order to get the monthly salary of each individual, we divide their annual salary by 12:

Koffi (z) = 42000/12 = $3500

Pete (y) = 53000/12 = $4416.7

Pat (x) = 105000/12 = $8750

The hourly wage increases each employee receives each year depends on the number of years of service. Every three years of servi

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information above :

Less than Employees = $0.5 increase per hour

Atleast 3 but less than 6 years employees = $1.00 increase per hour

Atleast 6 but less than 9 years employees = $1.50 increase per hour

Atleast 9 but less than 12 years employees = $2.00 increase per hour

The information above can be written as a piecewise function :

________{0.50 if x < 3

________{1.00 if 3 ≤ x < 6

f(x) = ____{1.50 if 6 ≤ x < 9

________{2.00 if 9 ≤ x < 12

The constraints is represented in the piecewise function above with x being the number of years since employee has been in service.
