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.

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.



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


4
Now the negative


-2.5
Answer:
20 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find x and y.
x – y = 4 _____(1)
x/2 + y/2= 18___(2)
Multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
x - y = 4
+<u>(x + y = 36)</u>
<u>2x = 40</u>
=> x = 40 / 2 = 20
From (1):
20 - y = 4
=> y = 20 - 4 = 16
The two numbers are 20 and 16.
Answer:
(6,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable Definitions:
x= the number of commercials
y= the number of movies
Each commercial earns Emily $50, so x commercials would earn her 50x dollars in royalties. Each movie earns Emily $150, so y movies would earn her 150y dollars in royalties. Therefore, the total royalties 50x+150y equals $600:
50x+150y=600
Since Emily's songs were played on 3 times as many commercials as movies, if we multiply 3 by the number of movies, we will get the number of commercials, meaning x equals 3y.
x=3y
Write System of Equations:
50x+150y=600
x=3y
Solve for y in each equation:
1) 50x+150y=600
150y=−50x+600
y=-1/3x+4
2) x=3y
y=1/3x
The x variable represents the number of commercials and the yy variable represents the number of movies. Since the lines intersect at the point (6,2) we can say:
Emily's songs were played on 6 commercials and 2 movies.
x=3.95
Explanation
From the given information we find that the triangle is right angled at C. CB is the base,AC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.
Given that D is the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse AB.
BC=6
BD=4.2
AD=x
the height and the base of the triangle is given.
Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the hypotenuse AB.

D is the midpoint of AB
therefore AD=AB/2=
=3.905
x=3.905 cm
Answer:
The probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 4 minutes.
The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

The parameter of the exponential distribution is:

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:


Thus, the probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.
