Which equation has the solutions x = (5 +- 2 \sqrt(7))/(3)?
2 answers:
Recall the formula to find the solutions for an equation ax² + bx + c:
x₁₂ = (- b +/- √(b²-4ac) )/ 2a
Since at the denominator of our solution we have 3, which is an odd number, therefore it cannot be 2a, but only a, we should use the formula:
x₁₂ = <span>(-β +/- √(β²-ac) )/ a
Where </span>β = b/2
Hence, the only options that have an even number as b coefficient are C and D.
Now, we need to find what values give √(β² - ac) = 2√7 = √(4·7) = √28:
C) √(β² - ac) = √(25 - 3·6) = √7
D) √(β² - ac) = <span>√(25 - 3·(-1))</span> = √28
Hence, the correct answer is D) 3x² - 10x - 1 = 0

Given that :
Initial measurement = 2358 in
Guage level after 5 days of rain (final reading) = 3414 in
Change in water level rise :
Final reading - Initial reading
(3414 - 2358) in
= 1056 inches

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
9/11 = ?/88
<em>multiply each side by 8 (because 88 divided by 11 is 8)</em>
72/88 = ?/88
<em>multiply each side by 88</em>
72 = ?
