Answer:

  x=-2-\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}\ \text{and}\ x=-2+\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

  -2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

__

You can also use other clues:

  • the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
  • the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.

The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

__

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{4}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{88}}{4}=-2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

Bernie helped design a magician costume for a school play. He used 5.75 feet of ribbon for the magician's wand. He used 11.75 fe
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The ribbon cost per foot $0.6 per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of ribbon used = (5.75 + 11.75) = 17.50 feet

17.50 feet of ribbon cost = $10.50

1 foot of ribbon cost = x

Cross Multiply

17.50 × x = 1 foot × $10.50

x = 1 foot × 10.50/17.50

x = $0.6

The ribbon cost per foot $0.6 per foot

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 222 and height 666? either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.1
Leno4ka [110]

In this question, it is given that the base radius is 2 , height is 6 and the value of pi is 3.14 .

And we have to find the volume of the cylinder, and for that, we have to use the following formula

V = \pi r^2 h

Substituting the values of pi,r and h, we will get

V = 3.14(2)^2 * 6 = 75.36 \ cubic \ units

The rabbit population on a small island is observed to be given by the function P(t) = 130t − 0.3t^4 + 1100 where t is the time
Montano1993 [528]
The maximum occurs when the derivative of the function is equal to zero.
P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t+1100 \\ P'(t)=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 0=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 1.2t^{3}=130 \\ t^{3}= \frac{325}{3}  \\ t=4.76702
Then evaluate the function for that time to find the maximum population.
P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t \\ P(4.76702)=-0.3*4.76702^{4}+130*4.76702+1100 \\ P(4.76702)=1564.79201
Depending on the teacher, the "correct" answer will either be the exact decimal answer or the greatest integer of that value since you cannot have part of a rabbit.
