The $20 estimate is too low. $5.68 was incorrectly rounded down. It should have been rounded up to $6. The correct estimate should have been $24, so $20 will not be enough to buy 4.1 pounds of cherries

it is incorrect becuase 5.68 rounded is 6 ,  4.1 rounded is 4 . 4 times 6 equals 24

What are the x-intercepts of the function f(x) = –2x2 – 3x + 20?
Hatshy [7]

The root sof this quadratic equation are -4 and 2.5.


The roots of any quadratic can be found by using the quadratic equation. The equation is below for you.


\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}- 4ac}}{2a}


In this equation you use the number attached to x^2 as the a, which in this case is -2. The number attached to x as b, which is in this case -3. And the number at the end as c, which is 20. From there you solve for the answers.


\frac{3 +/- \sqrt{-3^{2}- 4(-2)(20)}}{2(-2)}

\frac{3 +/- \sqrt{9 + 160}}{-4}

\frac{3 +/- 13}}{4}


Now you separate and get the two separate answers. First the positive.


\frac{3 + 13}}{4}

\frac{16}}{4}

4


Now the negative


\frac{3 - 13}}{4}

\frac{-10}}{4}

-2.5

The area of a rectangular painting is given by the trinomial x2 + 4x - 21. What are the possible dimensions of the painting? Use
zloy xaker [14]
To find the dimensions you can just factor the equation...

x^2+4x-21

x^2-3x+7x-21

x(x-3)+7(x-3)

(x+7)(x-3) and this is equal to LW or WL

And note that x>3 for any possible solution.

stepan [7]
The decay rate should have units, it should be negative and it should be 100 times smaller than what you posted.
k = -.000124 / years

k = -.000124 / years
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.000124
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 5589.8951612903 </span> </span> </span>
Half-Life = 5,590 (rounded)

elapsed time = half-life * log(bgng amt / end amt) / log(2)
elapsed time = 5,590 * log(10) / <span> <span> <span> 0.3010299957 </span> </span> </span>
elapsed time = 5,590 * 1 / <span> <span> 0.3010299957 </span>
