Which value of x is a solution to this equation?

2x^2 − 4x +16 = 0



x = 3

x=2

x = -2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Solve the equation:

2x² − 4x + 16 = 0x² - 2x + 8 = 0x² - 2x + 1 + 7 = 0(x - 1)² + 7 = 0(x - 1)² = -7

There is no solution as the square of the number can't be negative

----------------------------

Note if the equation was 2x² - 4x - 16 = 0, the solution would be:

2x² - 4x -  16 = 0x² - 2x - 8 = 0x² - 2x + 1 = 9(x - 1)² = 3²x - 1 = ± 3x = -2, x = 4

In this case x = -2 is the correct choice

x = -2

You told your friend that you could eat 5/8 of a large pizza. If you only ate 1/2 of what you said you could eat, what fraction of a large pizza did you eat?

Answers

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fraction of claim = 5/8

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 of claim

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 * 5/8 = 5/16

Fraction of large pizza actually eaten is 5 /16

Hence, he ate, 5/16 of large pizza

The average grade Jared received on 4 tests was 94. If he drops his lowest test grade of 85, what will his new average be?

A.72.75
B.76
C.89.5
D.97

Pls help TT

Answers

Answer:

total points on the 4 tests- 94x4= 376

376- 85= 291

291/3= D. 97

Answer:

D. 97

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sum of 4 test grades Jared received

[tex]\frac{x}{4} = 94[/tex]

x = 376

If he drops lowest test grade of 85, then subtract 85 from Jared's sum of all test grades:

x - 85 --> 376 - 85

= 291

Now that one of his test grades are not considered, this means there are only 3 test grades to consider.

291 must be divided by 3 to get the average:

[tex]\frac{291}{3}[/tex] = 97

The answer is D) 97

The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $5.50 and each adult ticket sells for $8.50. The auditorium can hold at most 110 people. The drama club must make no less than $680 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. Also, they can sell no more than 70 adult tickets. If xx represents the number of student tickets sold and yy represents the number of adult tickets sold, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Answers

Answer:

74 or 73

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to assume that the show is sold out.  If 66 student tickets were sold, we only have 74 adult tickets to sell.  Based on that information, we then have to use an inequality to find out if the number of adult tickets we have to sell to meet our money requirements is more than the amount of seating we have left after 66 seats were taken by students.  Our inequality looks like this:

5.50(66) + 7.50(a) ≥ 910 and

363 + 7.50a ≥ 910 and

7.50a ≥ 547 so

a ≥ 73

In order to meet our money requirement, we have to sell 73 adult tickets.  Since we have 74 seats left, we are good.

9S + 45 + 9T = 9S + 9T + 45 = 9(S + T) + 45, the expressions are equivalent and therefore both Susan and Tom are correct

The true statement is A

Jo works in a cafe she sells cups of tea and cups of coffee in the ratio 1:3 on Monday jo sold a total of 244 cups of coffee.
Jo thinks she must have sold more than 200 cups of coffee. Is jo correct?

Answers

Answer:

No, the thought is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if Jo is correct

The ratio we have is tea cups to coffee cups of ratio 1:3

Now, there are 244 cups of coffee

Now let’s say the total number of cups is x

For the ratio to be correct

Then;

3/4 * x = 244

x = (244*4)/3

x = 325

Now let’s subtract the number of cups

That will be;

325 - 244 = 81

This means the number of cups she thought was incorrect

Your firm has net income of $329 on total sales of $1,340. Costs are $740 and depreciation is $130. The tax rate is 30 percent. The firm does not have interest expenses. What is the operating cash flow?

Answers

Answer:

Net operating cash flow= $459

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your firm has net income of $329 on total sales of $1,340. Costs are $740 and depreciation is $130. The tax rate is 30 percent. T

To calculate the operating cash flow, we need to use the following structure:

Sales= 1,340

Costs= (740)

Gross income= 600

Depreciation= (130)

EBIT= 470

Tax= (470*0.3)= (141)

Depreciation= 130

Net operating cash flow= $459

how can u tell if something is a function

How you can tell

Step-by-step explanation:

If a scuba diver swam from the surface at −1212 feet per minute, for 412 minutes, what would be the diver’s change in elevation?

Answers

Answer:

-1212 feet/min * 412 min = -499314 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have a speed, or in this case velocity since the measurement has a definite direction,  and time you can multiply them together to get the distance.  Some easy examples, 10 feet per second for 1 second is 10 feet, hopefully that logically makes sense as well.  i you are going 10 feet in 1 second, then after 1 second you went 10 feet.  after 2 seconds it's 20 seconds and so on

Here we have -1212 feet per minute for 412 minutes.  just to establish things, 1 minute would be -1212 feet, here the negative means below the surface, sometimes measurements will have that.  Anyway, 2 minutes would get -2424, and so on.  So it should make sense to multiply them.

-1212 * 412 = -499314

With units, you also have to pay attention to what might cancel out.  You treat different units like variables.  so -1212feet per minute looks like -1212 feet/min where feet and min are basically variables.  Similarly 412 minutes is 412 min.  So if you picture multiplying these, you get -1212 feet/min * 412 min.  In this scenario the mins cancel each other out, since everything s being multiplied.  so like if you had x/y * y you would just get x, or 2/3 * 3 gets just 2.  So this is another way to know what to multiply by.

feet/min has min in the denominator and we want feet, so we need to multiply by something that just has min as its units.  Anyway, that let's you know it's -499314 feet

The drivers change in elevation is 499,344 feet in 412 minutes

Given:

Distance travelled per minute = −1212 feet

Time travelled = 412 minutes

Change in elevation = Distance travelled per minute × Time travelled

= −1212 feet per minute × 412 minutes

= 499,344 feet

Therefore, the drivers change in elevation is 499,344 feet in 412 minutes

Pythagoras is the sum of the square of two sides is equal to the square of the longest side. Then the acute angle of the given triangle is 28.07 degrees.

What is a right-angle triangle?

It is a type of triangle in which one angle is 90 degrees and it follows the Pythagoras theorem and we can use the trigonometry function.

A triangle has sides with lengths 8, 15, and 17.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have

  H² =  P² + B²

 17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 64 + 225

289 = 289

The dimension of the triangle satisfies the Pythagoras theorem. Hence the triangle is a right-angle triangle.

Then the acute angle will be

[tex]\rm \theta =Sin ^{-1} \dfrac{8}{17}\\\\\theta = 28.07^o[/tex]

Thus, the acute angle of the given triangle is 28.07 degrees.
